Spring?

A few days ago, it was warm and sunny and I was getting my planters and soil out of their storage corner and into the sun to thaw out.

Now there's this.

Canadian spring

What you can't see?  The river, about half the houses and condos down there, and the big hill on the other side of the river.

Canadian spring

What you can't see?  The bright blue bridge over the river, more housing and the valley walls.

Canadian spring

What you can't see?  The 24km/h winds that have taken our temperatures of -3C to a windchill of -10C (actually, I'm pretty sure the winds are higher in our location) and causing the snow to start drifting in front of our balcony door.

Ah, spring in Canada!

My kids are actually looking forward to walking to my daughter's guitar lesson in this.

I guess it's a good thing I hadn't packed away all the winter gear yet.
