Mother Nature plays a mean April Fool's Day joke . Yesterday we were up to a balmy 18*C and this morning .....SNOW and very, very windy . There are special weather statements out by Environment Canada. We cannot see beyond the treeline into the farmer's field. Hopefully the buds on the sour Cherry tree will not be affected, we want to make more Sour Cherry liqueur ! Leaves are almost out on some trees, but not enough to be weighed down by the snow. I hope.
Nothing much going on here. ES and DH started trimming trees and then cutting up the cuttings. I've been checking out the planats that are starting to show growth. Found a Ladybug yesterday and a robin was spotted 11 days before normal !! Jokes on him with all this snow !
Other than that, watching some programs on tv, reading and doing a little knitting. While DH is at the gym, I 'll be washing the floors. Perhaps tonight, YGS will be over to make his Easater Gingerbread House. We picked up the Christmas kits on sale for $1 so we'll just put the Christmas candies away for next year and decorate with Easter candy !
Supper is Boiled Mince. Funny how in Canada/USA hamburger is never called mince. It's my English/Irish roots coming out ! It's a good day ato have a stewy type meal.
Interesting to read on a blog yesterday that the blogger could only find 6 things which are good about Canada. They travel all over the world, spend most winters in Mexico and the States, but I, as well as at least one other commentator, find that they do subtlely diss Canada. Hmm, Canada where they earned enough to retire at a very young age and where they return to each summer to work. We do have extreme cold temperatures, our prices are higher than the States and Mexico, food, booze, and gas are the worst, BUT we are a welcoming nation, we have good, but not perfect Universal Health Care and we do not have the gun deaths that the States experiences. We are a small nation, but we have made our mark in the world with scientific research, discoveries etc.etc.
I am thankful to live in this country, even with the snow falling on my tulips !
