Well I have to admit that there were times during this brutal winter when I thought the blessed day would never arrive. But Spring is here at last.
The island ferry is running again after being grounded for days due to the thick ice.
And although my beautiful swans are still having trouble feeding themselves...
It seems the worst is over, except in Atlantic Canada.
Where the Snowmageddon continues, and the people who live there deserve a medal for what they have endured...
But since this is the second harsh winter in a row, I wonder when Canadians will finally realize that the Big Chill is just another sign that climate change is here?
And that thanks to a warming sea, and a sagging jet stream brought about by the warming of the Arctic.
Brutal winters like we have experienced could become the new normal.
And if so, when will they hold that against Stephen Harper for having done nothing to fight the problem?
Because the day they do, I'll bet they get REALLY angry.
Especially when we're all forced to wear something like this...
Great eh? Who needs headlights when we got them?
And the good news? Spring is here at last, and it will get warmer soon even in Atlantic Canada.
And you know what that means...
It's the season of love again.
OMG. I survived. Spring is finally here AND it's Friday !!!!
I swear I'll never take summer for granted again.
Have a great weekend everybody !!!!
