spring!

What was it I was saying about long weekends?  Wow, what an awesome 4 days last weekend to relax and recharge!  The weekend mostly involved sleeping in, watching movies, dinner with friends, lunch with friends, and a jog on the trails in warmer weather with that gorgeous warm sun beating down!  

Nice way to relax after what feels like a ridiculously long winter might be a bit of an understatement.  I also realized, this is my favourite time of year - the sun comes up earlier and is getting warmer, we have longer daylight hours, I can ditch the winter boots, my tulips and crocus' are starting to poke their heads out of the dirt and the birds are out in full force.  Soon, my yard will be awash with colour and butterflies and dragonflies will be floating through.  And maybe, just maybe the odd hummingbird.   Encouraging, no?

This year, we've also had some trumpeter swans show up in Smiths Falls - I had never, ever seen swans in flight and wow are they something to see.  And something to hear... that part is less nice, but I can live with it.  They are more than clear in their trumpeting that spring has arrived.

And that's kind of where I'm at right now - spring is here and everything is starting to come back to life, including me!   So off I go to enjoy what is proving to be a gorgeous day here in our lovely little Smiths Falls!

The sun is beaming and so am I.
