About Time Too!

Which, if you ponder it, is a meaningless phrase - rather like "now then" and "there, there".

Pardon the digression - the spring sunshine has gone to my head. Let us begin anew.

About Time Too!

I can't tell you what a relief it is that the snow has FINALLY stopped.

Last Thursday morning vs this Thursday morning:

Sure, the snow is beautiful. But what I really want to see in April is less of this:

Maybe spring is down here somewhere....

And more of this:

Take me to your omelette!

At last the longed-for change has come; you can feel it in the air and see it in the sky, and hear it in the collective sigh of relief wafting from the mouths of the long-suffering populace. Flocks of geese are once more on the move; formerly-reluctant trees are budding out with a vengeance, and grass is getting greener by the day. Thank God!

Migrating pelicans visited the local lake this week:

The first wildflower has been spotted (quite by accident, while I was taking pelican photos at the park):

Even the moon looks glad:

And this pile o' (somewhat grubby) white?

 Like winter, it will soon be a distant memory.

To make the cup of happiness full, there's even been a bit of this going on (in shorts no less!):

Tallulah and I headed out Sunday afternoon to gloat over the fast-melting snow and enjoy the spring sun.

When the swish of tyres mingles with blackbird song, all is well with the world.

These horses too were enjoying the sun, in their various ways:

One standing, one napping

We rode up hill and down...

Wheee!

...then up again.

We saw old barns on the prairie:

And passed our favourite willowy bend:

It was glorious.
