You guessed it...more snow!

I'm starting to get a bit confused! I am pretty sure it is April 14th, at least the calender tells me so. However, March was "In like a lion out like a lamb"...I am pretty sure that April "showers bring May flowers"...so what in the heck does 15cm of snow and the same on the way for tomorrow bring...a pretty miserable bunch of Albertans!

I have just about given up on seeing Spring! Or have I given up on life in Alberta? I am just not sure! Fortunately Taylor choose to shovel because I refused to do it, it's just not right! I wished away the snow indoors todays, leaving only to go to yoga this morning and to get Taylor to and from school.



My shoveller.




Mom! It's all ice under here!





I do love this guy!



Laundry got done, a visit with my friend and neighbour and some cookies made. I tried a new recipe using Quinoa flour, they turned out pretty good. Taylor noticed a bit of a difference in taste but still went back for more. I didn't tell him I switched out the flour for a more nutritous option...a little more protein and fiber will do him some good! what he doesn't know will only do him some good!

bet you can't have just one!

Stay tuned for the continuing snow saga that has become my life! Hope you're enjoying your SPRING!

April 6th, 2011

Just as I had suspected! Just back from a gorgeous walk in the sunshine! The melt is definitely on BUT still too much snow! It will be interesting to see how long this lasts! Bella and I walked for over an hour. The sidewalks are wider today and seem to have less water on them for the most part. Probably because there are areas off the concrete now for the water to flow. Some parts still had ice today even though we went out at noon, must have gotten pretty chilly last night. So here's a look at what we look like today!

As I sit here waiting for my iPhone to charge so I can listen to some tunes for my walk, I thought  I'd post some pictures from Sunday's walk! Still way too much snow but a definite sign of Spring has arrived. The Canadian Geese have returned! I am sure in their tiny little brains though, they too  are wondering what in the heck is going on. Poor things are having trouble finding open water and i am sure there is not too much food to be found either! So this is a pretty crappy iPhone picture...but for real they are here!

Here is another view, still to much winter for my liking, but what can I do? I am hopeful that todays walk will show more signs of Spring! Come on sun and get your "MELT ON"!
