I went for a walk out Eastern Point today with my friend Melissa. Along the way we saw a definite sign of spring – these crocus, jonquils, daffodils (? – not sure which they are, what do you say Kim?) popping their shoots out of the snow, then melting ice on Niles Pond with a flock of gulls looking like a crowd at water’s edge on the beach on a hot summer day. Then we got to the lighthouse and encountered these unexpected wild waves crashing over the Dog Bar and out behind the lighthouse. Finally, some of the damage left behind by Nemo to the back of the garage at the lighthouse. Had a very nice visit with Emma Jane, who together with her husband and dog, have enjoyed (not so much) a wild winter so far living at the lighthouse. Hi Emma, I know you read GMG, so thanks for allowing us to shoot, and shoot the breeze, very nice to meet you.

I didn’t think they were crocuses. Daffodils are really early aren’t they?

I believe they are snowdrops.

To bad the EPLS does’nt have keepers any more. The place would get painted from the lightening rod on the tower to the paint locker once a year. Besides, shine the brass , mind the radio beacon, cut the grass,and maintain the light on the end of the breakwater.

I think they’re daffodils also. Definitely not crocus which have pointy leaves. And snow drops have only two leaves, these have multiple leaves. Daffodils do start this early.

Nice to know there are signs of spring with another snow storm expected – Years ago on Nashua Ave there was a field on the right with a stone fence that was always full of daffodils – but I remember them blooming closer to Mother’s Day, so very early this year. Maybe another walk for you around Squam – Enjoyed some of Elinor’s photos of the big storm
