spring has sprung, the grass has riz...and here are the birdies

[Delightful Life]

Our bay froze over for the winter (till late March/early April anyway) last week. My daughter has been getting a fairly excellent amount of shovelling exercise.

can you still ride your horse? ;3

can you skate on your bay?

on the mainland this winter, there have been only a few moments of icy goodness -- my bro & i even went into the local lungs of the city (cue david suzuki narration) to search for ice -- we found some & lots & lotz of COLD WATER...he skated, i turned back with icy feet...

It drizzled here a few hours ago, here in the city - I missed it but I could tell because the ground, and handrails outside were wet. The sky is dark grey and looks like rain could burst out any moment. Maybe less so where you are @Inannawhimsey ...it didn't scream "spring day" to me today, although I may be slightly warmly dressed. I'd rather be overdressed than shivering, though. The damp can go right through to your bones.

i'm definitely in a different climate than you are
tonight it'll get colder

...

If it freezes smoothly, there's usually a few rinks carved out by hardy souls scattered around the edge so that little legs can get there. Ice fishing and snowmobiling are the two preferred winter activities by most of my neighbours.

Hope those who have mild weather are enjoying it. Here it is -20C with a windchill of -26 - the sky is grey and covered in a blanket of dense cloud.

Yesterday was much the same, except we went shopping in the city. Some special sort of wood for hubby, a birthday gift for our littlest grand and fabric for me!

Well, compared to that, our -7 is balmy. That's what we had a year ago. Still, can't say I'm enjoying it much but my skier likes it.

*you send me playing inna background*
weather can`t make up its minds:
more Spring -- 10 C, a heavy spring rain -- the kind that gets you soaked when you get your mail, but not feeling miserable like winter rain can do
which reminds me: some boffins suggest that human activity some 5,000 years ago has stopped the next ice age! YAY HUMANITY!!! HUZZAH!!! pay it forward!!!!!

You men when humanity blossomed? The third (1/3) millennium BC?

Cherry blossoms are starting to come out already. And I saw a few daffodils yesterday. Must be all that rain. The sun came out for a few hours yesterday. We've had a pretty warm winter on the west coast.

Depends on the place you're at in time ...

Well, no, I wouldn't say a warm and sunny place in time...but the weather hasn't been overly cold. Gotta point out the good things as I see 'em. Stop and smell the roses...once they come out...and that sort of thing.

You mean like arresting reactions ... man's toppers like Bung ... the intoxicating Lass?

Can stoics be jaerd into such states?

i note that you posted this at 11:11 -- a significant number -- an angel number -- a number associated with UFO activity or when universe is trying to get one's attention *cue theramin music*

Cherry blossoms in Feb -- here we go again for another scorching summer :3

my step gm showed me the minidaffydills in her yard yesterday

More signs of spring:

a lone dandylion flower in the grass

a lone robin silently listening in the grass by the lone dandylion flower

I've seen a wasp or maybe it was a bee, I got out of the way pretty quick, and a big fly, which, I was concerned was a wasp or a bee flying around my head...but it was only a big fly.

 

[Kimmio Laughterlove]

and several daddy long legs spiders which are not necessarily signs of spring but signs of all the rain we've had, I think. I am getting more used to them. They're not the ones that bite at least.

More signs of spring:
13 degree days
exploding golden forsythia
opening the window to look outside and brushing against a spider web

Wading through slush, trying to pick the least puddle-covered path for Buster the basset, who DOES NOT LIKE getting his wee-wee wet, never mind cold and wet, and he is damned close to the ground.
