Lovely walk in the forest yesterday...

Selfie taken with timer on phone

It felt like spring. For the first time in 2015, I was outside and I was WARM!!!  Heck it's about 6 or 7C and I'm wearing no hat, no mitts, and my coat is open, no scarf. I walked like this with open coat no hat. Usually I wait till about 12 to be able to do it. But it was so consistently cold this winter, that anything above 0 seems warm.

Today we SPRING forward.. WOOT

Uhm. Not really.  Daily savings time is a whole crock. Not sure who it saves daylight for but changing time twice a year is a real pain in the ass!

Spring my ass

It might be well past the first day of spring, but it's FREEZING out there. No spring clothes yet, still looking like Nanook of the North.... This photo was taking Saturday during the snow storm!

First day of Spring

Well it was yesterday officially but by the calender today is the first day of Spring and also the birthday of my eldest child, who turned 27 today. Where does time go?

Well this year on the first day of spring it's SNOWING.  I predicted it, Today I'm going to look like nanook of the north :)

After work I hope to go to Club Tissue in Laval and check it out.

TGIF

I'm glad this week is over. IT's been a really clumsy week. On the plus side, it makes my friend laugh :P

I sent flying a bucket load  of empty  water bottles the other night, and after putting them all back on the counter managed to send them flying a second time.  Last night, I dropped a large bag on sunflower seed, and well the bag split and there was sunflower seeds by the butt load all over the floor.  This morning, I took out a container of blueberries from the fridge and wee, all the blueberries went all over the floor. 

At least I laugh at myself when this happens.  

This year, I definitely won't be wearing a sundress and open-toed sandals for the first day of spring, which is 7 days away.  I'm sure I'm going to look like Nanook of the north that day.

It's March, when will it thaw out?

Everyone I've talked to says we've had a hard winter.  Even the UPS delivery guy who brought my Monoprice order, complained that he has had it with Montreal winters. He's from Trinidad and he would rather move back to the islands where it's warm most of the year.

Seriously though, it's fucking MARCH.  I was telling someone in chat just the other day that 2 years ago on March 21st, I was wearing a sundress and open-toed sandals.  This year on March 21st, I bet I look like Nanook of the North.

It's been in the -20's overnight and even during the day if you had the windshield factor.  Maybe -18 but feels like -28C BRRRR.

I'm really starting to have serious cabin fever that even a trip to Ottawa this week-end didn't resolve. I mean it was freezing in Ottawa too. When will we ever have spring?

It's been 26 years

It was 26 years ago today, that experienced childbirth for the first time. It was a long non-typical experience and when it was all over, it was 4:45 am at dawn on a Saturday, the first day of spring!

I still love the imagery the fact that my first born was born on the first day of spring at dawn. How's that for a first :)
