Ther Big Melt

    We are finally starting to see some green here although the overnight temperatures are mostly still below Zero. This was my back yard last week.

You can see a slight sign of melting in the centre of the pool cover.

Here is the same view today and some of the snowbanks out front where the snow from the driveway was dumped.

   By this time next week it should all be gone (fingers crossed) unless we get more of the white stuff which could well happen. After that it will take some time for the ground to dry out. However, hope springs eternal so I may be gardening again sooner rather than later!

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!
