Spring??


Yesterday, my sister-in-law sent me this photograph of her garden in British Columbia.  

There was just one word in the subject heading...

Jealous?

Yes.  Sigh.

Meanwhile, where I live, our forecast reads...

SNOWFALL WARNING!
10 - 25 CENTIMETRES EXPECTED BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON

According to Dave Phillips of Environment Canada (Calgary CBC morning show)...

...we should still expect 16% of our yearly snow AFTER mid-April.
...80% of the time May has snow.
...25% of the time June has snow.
...we have had snow every month of the year.  TRUE...know a girl married in August.  There was a beautiful snowfall that day.

A little rhyme Dave shared...
'Till April's dead,
Don't change a thread.

Although, he changed it to...
'Till April's dead,
Don't change a tread.

As in keep on your snow tires.  Sigh (again).

Looking forward to spring!
Maggie
