Spring in Canada

 Caught this on Facebook today. Fellow Canadians will attest to the truth in the message!

A Night on the Dance Floor

   Not much change from my last post - still wearing the coat and boots when I went for my (brief) walk as it was minus numbers again today and a bitter wind. BUT no need to shovel the small amount of snow we got overnight as it will be gone soon. The temperatures for the upcoming week are all in plus numbers! Could this possibly be our last frigid day?

   Last night was the monthly dance and I managed most of the dances, even though still gasping through the compulsory mask. This is the first one I have participated in since they started back up earlier this year. We are still not having a proper intermission (with food) but did have a 15 minute break to refresh ourselves. Here's one of the dances we did at an earlier monthly dance as you can see we are not masked. It's to commemorate the rebellion of 1745.

Sick of Winter!

 Not only sick of the snow and cold temperatures but also of having to constantly don my winter coat and boots!

This is me all decked out for my morning walk. Just needed to grab my mitts and headband and I was all set. There was only a weak sun today and just a light wind so I was quite comfortable. But how I long to be able to grab a lighter jacket and leave the gloves behind!

Fun With the Family

     More snow to shovel today but only a couple of inches and it was light and fluffy. Actually, I only did half the driveway - came home to find a kindly neighbour must have finished it for me. How nice!

   It was eldest grandson`s 17th  birthday today so I was invited to their house for a delicious brunch with cake. He was in great spirits as his main gift from his parents was being added to their car insurance policy when (and if) he passes his driving test next month!

   It was great to catch up on all their doings, they all (parents and kids) lead busy lives. Our next getogether will be Easter Sunday lunch at my house - the requests are in, it will probably be a leg of lamb and roasties!
