In my "wet coast" area, where we seem to have had Spring since the middle of Janaury, the Island I live on has exploded into blossom. The heirloom apple orchards here (all the apples for B.C. were grown on Salt Spring and Mayne Islands, until the early 30s) are all drifting in white and pink blossoms...daffodils and tulips are in full display in gardens...the pruning of the vineyards is well underway...lambs are trotting along with the adult sheep...fawns are following their deer families along forest trails...the meetings about growing more food locally are sprouting with interested audiences....rain, sun, hail, rainbows, all in the same day...it's got an April feel to the light....how lucky to be able to live on a Gulf Island, in the Salish Sea....
How may I help you to discover special Salt Spring Island & the Southern Gulf Islands? Call me!
