I JUST SAW THIS FUN MEMORY FROM 2015… every year my Mother and I would look for a spring Flower in bloom on my Birthday ( March 19) and that year we had gotten a huge snowfall so when ahe called to say we wouldnt see one this year, i said “let me call you back” and went out and painted those flowers on the snowbank

Because i wanted her to see the photo, I posted it so she could see it on Facebook….and the photos went viral, and the rest is justory !!

A Snowstorm Can’t Stop Halifax’s Flowers From Blooming

The first day of spring is coming, whether nature allows it or not.

The first day of spring is coming to Nova Scotia, whether nature allows it or not.
Neville MacKay of Halifax floral shop My Mother’s Bloomers had seen flowers on March 19 every year leading up to the present day.
And he’d be damned if he was going to let snow stop them this year.
Instead of waiting for massive piles of snow to clear from his yard, he painted some lovely flowers over top of them and gave people some respite from a miserable winter that just won’t seem to end
The photos were posted to his Facebookpage, where they had drawn nearly 600 shares as of Friday afternoon.
There are so many ways you can deal with winter. You can let it bury you, depress you and ruin your day. But you can also turn it something beautiful.
Way to go, Neville!
