Early Spring! According to @TheOysterThief #MalpequeMarty the OysterImp (Pixie, Fairy, cousins of Selkies) of PEI - Imbolic aka #GroundHogDay on the land… Oyster Imps live in Ocean’s intertidal zone and, with the drop in temperature and early snowfall, are known to burrow into the shoreline and Hibernate, until warmer seasons… Imbolic, in times of Old, February 2 today, the Wee Oyster Imps would emerge to survey their surroundings. On a bright sunny day - MalpequeMarty would be frightened off back to sleep for 6 more week of Winter’s Rage… If however, an overcast, and drizzly day presides, the Oyster Imps stir with delight, ready to assist MotherNature in releasing Spring - sooner than later! No Shadow was seen today by MalpequeMarty - Early Spring is Predicted! #PunxsutawneyPhil #WiartonWillie and others may have different thoughts - and that’s OK Spring is as Spring does - in various regions… #PEI #Oysters #Spring #Sprung #OysterSeasons #Pixie #Selkie #Seanchai #StoryTeller #FoodStories #OysterEducation #HappySpring #EarlySpring #OysterImpsAreRarelyWrong #OysterSeasons #OysterStories @theOysterCompanion @shuckerpaddyoysterco (at Rustico, Prince Edward Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZfeaI_LgMg/?utm_medium=tumblr
