Winter Aconite
This winter, as have the past five, has been such a mix of rain and snow with May temperatures. Geese and Robins have returned searching for food. Protective snow cover left the garden two weeks past under bright sunshine and 50F temperatures. If it isn’t replaced with 20, 30 inches of snow in the next week our gardens will burn. The earth will be parched and drought will be forecast for months. Farmers will suffer most of all. The same farmers who provide us with fruits and vegetables that sustain us. Yes kids, climate change is real. I feel for the next generations as Earth won’t heal in 30 years, nor 50. May the Heavens help us.
How lovely to find you and learn that you also live in eastern Ontario. I too am very worried about the relative warmth and lack of snow this winter. I fear we are in for a drought this year. Climate change IS real, very real.
