my island in ice

A few weeks ago, as the temperatures rose and the snow was disappearing, I found in the grass the icy outline of my province - Prince Edward Island.
It is Easter Sunday today, and suddenly the snow is back.  Today we had high winds, and snow blowing sideways.  It has covered the brave crocus and iris reticulata, but they are tough enough to stand up to whatever nature throws at them. Winter doesn't let go easily.  It will be another month before we can be sure that snow is finished for the season.
