There may still be little mounds of snow ~ but only in places where it was piled to clear out parking lots. The rest is GONE! Woot! We’ve been hitting temps in the double-digits – positive double digits. It’s amazing to see the difference in attitudes. Oh, I almost always get a “bonjour” in return to my “bonjour” but now it is almost always accompanied by a big smile. And even though we don’t want to talk about the weather, it had been such a painfully cold and miserable winter that we cannot help but rejoice that spring has finally sprung!
In two different walks, Zeke and I came upon a few flowers making their appearance…
There were spaces to run around
Oh? There is water under my feet? Really?
We then went to our river, the hidden part, and enjoyed the shadows and played “Hide and Seek”
What? I look wet? I don’t understand!
You can’t see me, can you?
I’m just having a drink of water!
If I run around, crazy-like, I’ll dry off!
See? Not that bad, right?
Spring is to be enjoyed…even if it means extra vacuuming for me!
Its looking pretty good Dale. And May is just around the corner. :O)
True and with May comes gardening!
And one not so good side-effect called weeds, but why quibble. Have a beautiful weekend Dale. :O)
You know, Paul, even the weeding can become an almost meditative task. You too!
You have a good point there. I tend to think about other things while pulling weeds. Plus have you ever noticed how no one ever bothers you while your pulling weeds. Maybe that’s because they’re afraid they might get asked to help. :O)
Yes, there is that. No one wants to “disturb” you whilst you are concentrating on such an important mission….
True… pulling weeds could leave you quite disturbed. Fortunately for me, its nothing more than getting reacquainted with an old foe. as they always tend to come back.
They do at that!
Have a wonderful Saturday Dale. :O)
Right back at ya, Paul!
:O)
Don’t talk to me of the extra vacuuming, but aren’t the bright new colours wonderful. 🍀
Ha ha! In my house the fur turns into tumbleweed! And yes, my photos don’t show it, but green is starting to make its appearance!
You can stop your complaining now then 😉
I promise. No more complaints from me! 😛
Oh I remember those tufts of fur 🙂
Ani just gently carpets everything in black…
But spring had definitely sprung 🙂
Ahhh… Zeke is kind enough to do a nice mélange of beige, rust, black…
Ani just does the other colours with mud 🙂 Though it looks like Zeke does that too 🙂
Yes… lemme tell you, when I wipe his paws and think all is well and then he lays down on the floor near me and then gets up and there this lovely black sand “design” left behind…
LOL… I wipe the paws but the cream sofa still ‘gets it’ every time 🙂
Cream sofa? Oh I would have a conniption fit!
I’ve not heard that one before.. but whatever it is, I get the feeling that I do 🙂
Ha ha! Basically means to have an apoplectic fit! 😉
Thought so. Yep… that about describes it 🙂
🙂
I’m glad you’re finally getting some flowers making their appearance and Zeke is obviously enjoying the burst of spring too 🙂
Yes! And how could I possibly get mad at that face? 😀
Glad you’re finally seeing some hope of spring. Hard to believe you still have some mounds of snow where you are but at least they’re disappearing. Have a great weekend, Dale.
They are the ugly, filthy mounds that take forever as there is so much dirt from cleaning the parking lots (kind of works like sawdust in keeping it from melting). You have a wonderful weekend too, George!
Violets and crocus !! They’re like the dawn of spring😍. Great photo walk With commentary !!
So happy they’ve finally deigned to make an appearance! Thank you, kind lady!
Yes i hope you’ll be in full spring mode soonest!! We’re getting 5 days of rain/snow mix and I’m trying to be happy about the moisture 😉
Snow! !!!! Noooooo!!
Good luck with that happiness. I shall send rain instead of snow vibes!
Ahh … It feels great to see these pictures and the strength of the season return. A time for regeneration.
Indeed my friend! Same in Ottawa?
Fun! Love the dog commentary. So cute. Happy Spring!
Thanks, Britt! He’s such a character and a sweet thing!
