Our new home is in the Comox Valley and we are constantly amazed at the lush vegetation and birdsong we encounter on a daily basis. It's been a busy few months, but the boxes are unpacked, our birds are settled, the first few batches of visitors have come and gone and we're now gardening and exploring.*
Once the main items on our never-ending "to-do" list were done, I was able to finish the puppet I started back in Prince George. Tomba, a hobbit (or hobbit-like character), finally came together in March. The sun was shining, there was no snow, and the flowers were already starting to bloom, so he took his first steps outdoors, rather than inside, and explored the yard a wee bit.
Since then, we've enjoyed watching hummingbird babies nesting in our neighbor's yard (but right next to our driveway), taken delight in the new flowers and plants growing in our garden (some of the rhododendrons are 15' high), found beaches to explore and generally enjoyed our "early" spring.
We're looking forward to seeing what the upcoming seasons bring, but for
now, the scent of flowers and ocean are making us smile.
