#103 Sunday laze, pre-spring cleaning haze, 80's ReflecShawn

Another lazy day, chez nous. 

It all started with sleeping in. Then, pancakes for breakfast. After, 3 1/2 hours of listening to 80's music while lounging, and putzing about. All the while the patio door was open with a gentle spring breeze coming in.

I decided to clean up my laptop. Deleted a couple thousand emails, deleted just under 28 GB of old files. All in prep of next weekend and some more actual spring cleaning...

I think I can only deal with one more week of the windows in the stat they are in, but with messy week's worth of weather in the forecast, I'll wait til it passes.  Next Saturday it's gonna look like we have no windows, (they'll be that clean!)  And then it'll be time to swap out our boots for shoes, and parkas for light weight jackets. And so it goes...

And, as it usually goes in Montreal, after 2 weeks of spring like weather, It'll be shorts and flip-flop weather.

And soon I'll be counting down Winter. :-)

#096 Seasonal ResignaShawn

I'm not admitting defeat, but I am recognizing that it would appear that Winter is not only officially over, but technically as well.

We've been having above zero temperatures now for about a week and tomorrow, it's going up to 14'C or so...

So, while I'm not happy about it, I'll resign myself to the fact that Winter is gone, but also coming again.

In the mean time, we've changed from flannel to regular cotton sheets.

I've not worn my boots since Tuesday.

...and of course we've already began using the barbecue.

Silver linings.

#079 Disappointing AccumulaShawn

Well I knew we wouldn't get as much snow as was forecast last night, but hope springs eternal. (pun intended)

Sure it was nice to wake up to a coating of white on everything, but it soon disappeared with the rain and mild temps. The people at work teased me all day. *rude*

Makes me long for last Spring when we received a record dump of over 30 cms of the good stuff. *sigh*

One can only hope that Saturday's snowflakes are more reliable. It's not that I want a lot, just enough to piss off the warm weather crowd. :-)

Maybe I'll make a quick trip to Notre-Dame and light a votive... I wonder who the patron Saint of Snow / Winter is...

#078 Seasonal RotaShawn

Today is the last day of Winter. (Technically.) 

Which, makes tomorrow the first day of Spring. (Technically.)

Here's what I know...  The forecast is calling for snow tonight and tomorrow ...10-15 cms, and another 5-10 cms on Saturday.

So all I can say is, bring it on!

Well, that and...
