the first day of spring was friday … or so they said.
After a glorious week of great weather, longer days and children outside from lunch time until bedtime, we had a severe winter storm leaving us with 30 cm (12 inches) of snow. Come on it is almost April, can’t the rain start a little bit sooner? I am looking forward to flowers and birds and plotting to murder the squirrel that digs in my flower beds … and warmth. I really hate being cold and the damp cold that we have been having lately is the worst. No. REALLY.
While The Husband and I are looking forward to the coming seasons for different reasons, (he wants to start fishing with my Hairdressing Cousin’s husband, The Fishing Man, and I just want to bask in warmth and hang with HC) both of us are getting truely weary of the snow. Yes you can do more in the winter months in Canada than you can in Ireland, but it is this between time that is the most difficult.

I like how you describe people…. “Hairdressing Cousin,” “Healthy Weighty Wee Man”, etc.
@itsadoozie - well in the event the people I talk about may have issues with me saying who they are by name (one of my sisters boycotts my blog coz she doesn’t want to be talked about on the internet etc etc etc), I refer to them as they are …. and have you seen the pictures of my son??? He’s HUGE and healthy, so the name fits. Besides, sometimes the names add colour to a boring story….
