welcome back kotter winter


when i came back home, there were of course no leaves or buds on the trees, and no green-ness of any kind in site (way up here at 55° 44' N 117° 1' W, 400km northwest of edmonton). i always get two springs when i come home... having experienced spring already in southern saskatchewan, coming home i get a second spring.

but this year, i get four. first, in saskatchewan, all the snow melted and it was lovely at the beginning of april. then, we got a big snowstorm, and it was winter again for a week. then, spring came again.

then, i came home. it was lovely and warm two days ago.

then, i got up this morning, and their was six inches of snow on the ground and everything in sight!

i can not remember ever having snow on my actual birthday, or in may for that matter. i'm hoping the snow is all gone by monday.

i mean, i like snow, i'm just ready for nice weather. again. nice weather that stays for awhile.
