hi, rose,
sure wish i could trade places with you right now... i live in south texas and we are in drought conditions with 90+ temperatures. i love the very little i have seen of western canada, and you are so fortunate to live in such beauty.

i followed the seattle trip, and it was so good to see all of you! the pictures were wonderful, and altie's article was wonderful - made one feel as though we were there.

thanks for sharing so much, and hope that maybe i can make the next reunion.

Raven

joser-

we didn't even hit 48 degrees

we had winds up to 60 mph today. it was dusty...
and some people had trees fall on their lexus's...
but it's going to be really bad for the tornado
alley folks in the next two days.

we're looking for the mid 80's for this weekend
on the lake... (temp F... not wind speeds)

rose~

i had to dig out my winter hat today.
we didn't even hit 48 degrees - brrrrrr.


really?!
that does seem pretty brrrrrr for out there at this time of the year!

we've had a warm, dry spring out here in eastern Ontario.
the past couple of days have been in the low 70s
but it seems even warmer than that.

i'd have to say that the foliage may be close to 2 weeks early.
yesterday, the cherry and pear tree blossoms were all open.
seems waaaay too early for them as we can get hard frosts until
late May, and that would nix any chance of fruit for this year.

still, it is nice to see things looking more like summer.
and there are already *lots* of insects for me to photograph!!
(important stuff!)

the summery weather has got me switched over to
cooking summer time meals...
plenty of salads and pita sandwiches full of vegetables.

yesterday, i worked in the vegetable garden
getting it ready to plant seeds.
(guess that means we'll be here for at least one more summer...
but that's okay).
