Spring?

So we came back from Jamaica looking forward to the fact that we were on the back end of winter and therefore some somewhat warmer weather.

Apparently the joke was on us, because within a day or two of returning the forecast was for -35 with windchill taking us below -40. I for one sure as hell wasn’t quite ready for the temperature going in that direction!

Fortunately it warmed up after a week or so and it’s even managed to get up all the way to the single digit negatives … and snow. Damn it. Snow here, snow there, snow bloody everywhere. I went out and dug out the front steps the other day and of course, what happens? We get a windy snowy night and the next day I couldn’t even see the thing. The only good thing is that Thomas has decided that shoveling snow is quite a good way to raise funds for our upcoming trip to Oz. So I only have to go out and clean up after him … you know, heave the snow from where he’s pushed it up over the mound down the side of the driveway that’s currently about 5 feet high.

I mean, hey, its March, that’s the start of Spring over here isn’t it. So why on earth would you picture the birth of cute woodland mammals, flowers sprouting, the sun shining … after all, this is Fort Mac!

Speaking of our trip to Oz, its only 11 sleeps for Caroline and the kids until the leave and 20 for me! Bring it on.
