A Busy, Wintry End to March

The last week has been pretty busy. We had a nice jaunt to the Garden Club in Prospect Bay Road.
Bill took  some baby azaleas and rhododendrons for everyone to take home.
The weekend had visiting and an outing or two.
Ian and Gina were here. Ian was doing two concerts with Hector MacIsaac at StFX. He plays bass(and other things) with the group. This was the Antigonish debut of The Legend of the Black Donnellys.
Both concerts were capacity crowds, and were very well done and received.
I've been listening to the CD here at home today as a supplement to the stories and songs of the live performance.
More info at Hector MacIsaac's website.
Ian brought the interesting "treat" of a beef tongue. I was in charge of cooking, so for Sunday brunch we had tongue sandwiches.
Ava and James were also here, so everyone got caught up.
We had actual spring-like weather for part of the weekend, so last weeks' snow had started a retreat. This Monday, of course, saw a repeat of last week, so were all white again!
There were a few little crocus finally showing some colour. Monday's storm also meant the first session of the Computer Course I was to start was postponed. I guess we will get off the ground next week.
