It’s Officially Spring!!!
There’s beautiful little blooms peeking out in my back yard.
Spring is the season for all the pretty blossoms.
Looking forward to the beautiful warm, Spring days ahead…
Month: March 2016
Pi Day
Longer days
I LOVE this time of year. SPRING!!!!! The days are getting longer and NOW with the time change we have more day light hours. Yippee!! What’s interesting is that my body starts to adjust to this time of year about 2 weeks before the time change. I start waking up earlier and my body seems to need less sleep.
AND, It doesn’t get dark now until after 7, almost 7:30.
Ahh….
And next weekend, it will OFFICIALLY be Spring and Bridal Shower time and then Easter and before we know it time to fly to Cuba for the wedding…eek…Ok, Ok so I’m getting ahead of myself BUT I love this time of year!
Spring Forward
It’s Spring Forward Weekend!!!
Haha, thought this one was cute !
A good start to March Break!
Well, thanks to a nice little freezing rain snow storm that swept through last night, kids are getting an extra long March Break. Next week is March Break in Nova Scotia and today schools along the South Shore were canceled. An EXTRA day for their break. Good news I guess, because there really haven’t been too many “snow day” cancellations this winter.
I guess you are never too old to want to travel on Spring Break because our son James is traveling this week too! And believe it or not he’s headed for “the land down under” So jealous James!!!
Have tons of fun and take lots of pictures!
So I think on this snowy day, I’m gonna enjoy my coffee, clean my house( it should stay cleaner long with James gone haha) and get started on a few projects.
It’s Friday, and the start of March Break…ENJOY!!!!
Where are you headed to if you’re traveling?
It’s About Time!
Our Prime Minister, his wife and family are in Washington for a three day visit with the Obamas. “Mr. Trudeau GOES to Washington!!”
This visit is so long over due!! I have been following it in the news a little bit just because I think Justin & Sophie Trudeau are such a beautiful couple and they are ours! He is our Canada Prime Minister and wife. It’s kinda like Prince William & Kate…kinda. I love seeing and reading about them.
Anyway…the Trudeaus are at the White House for an official visit and state dinner in their honour and believe it or not, it’s the first visit of it’s kind by a Canadian Prime Minister in over 19 years. 19 years!! Way to go Justin and Sophie!!
They are such a “styling” couple!
Celebrating some special WOMEN!
Today is International Women’s Day!
Taking a few minutes today, thinking about all the special women all over the world, that I’ve had the privilege to meet, and the friendship we share. Enjoy the day that is yours!
Woke up to WHITE
Well, the signs and forecasts were correct!
This morning when we woke up it was white…and snowing! Ugh….
it’s so pretty though, almost like a first snow, and we really haven’t had too much this year BUT it is March 5 and I really like the “no snow kinda days” we have been having lately. Well…the snow came back! And there’s LOTS. About 15 centimetres down and still snowing and blowing at 8:30am.
ENJOY your snowing weekend on the East Coast!
It’s like this before a MAJOR storm
It’s March! And this winter has been fantastic. I can’t believe the difference from last year. Many days the sun has been shinning and warm through my windows…actually making me feel like I should be Spring cleaning. Oh the dust bunnies on those kind of days haha. But I will wait a just bit.
Last year EVERYONE was tired of snow and snowstorms, begging for a reprieve from snowstorm after snowstorm. It’s one week til March Break, one of the busiest weeks for travellers heading south to escape the cold and snow.
This year is not so bad…many will still go…We usually enjoy a Winter escape in February, but this year is a little different. It’s Cuba in April for our son’s wedding, (later than usual) and I’m just thankful the weather has been so great, otherwise I would have wanted two vacations.
People in Nova Scotia who love to get out and about and photograph our beautiful province have been sharing some gorgeous photos …sunrises, sunsets, beach and wave photos, and signs of an early spring… and because we are a coastal province, many learn to watch the water to see the signs in the winds and the waves. I guess the last couple days the water along the coast has been acting the way it does before a MAJOR storm comes.
“The Bay of Fundy had plenty of power tonight. It’s not that the waves were overly large, it was the wind speed and energy coming from the ocean. It’s like this just before most major storms – I hope I am wrong.”~ Phil Vogler
Weather predictions are that we are in for a snowstorm this weekend. It’s hard to believe looking outside…other than the temperature is now -10 rather than the +15 it was earlier in the week.
What will the weekend hold? For the last couple storms we have been on the right side of the currents only getting rain. I don’t mind rain, it doesn’t need to be shovelled. Either way, even if we do get a major storm and (cover your ears) snow…it won’t last!
Have a GREAT weekend! We are in to March now and just a few weeks until it’s “officially” Spring! SPRING is my favourite season of all!!
