> Around noon today in Port Williams, Peter Richard and I saw an  
> impressive spectacle: several hundred Canada Geese floating on the

> flight? We had noted several V-shaped flocks of geese flying south  
> across the dykelands as we drove from Kentville to Port Williams.

> There were numerous signs of spring during our day in the Valley:  
> four or five grackles on a telephone wire; crows carrying nesting  
> material; song sparrows and juncos singing; dandelions blooming in  
> a sheltered spot at the base of an Acadia University building.

> At Acadia, we visited the Harriet Irving Arboretum, which is a  
> great place to go for the winter-weary. Labrador Tea is in bloom in  
> their Nova Scotia habitats garden.
