Well this past weekend and Monday it was 20C outside (sorry don't know the conversion 54?maybe) and the kids were outside running shoes, sunscreen & without coats, today -8C (below freezing) and boots, snowpants, hats, mitts scarves - what is this sillyness?
I was all ready to get digging and it all froze up again
I told you guys that our robins here keel over frozen each year!!! The tree buds have frozen & won't show up for a long time after the thaw! This just sucks!!! Wher is this spring I saw two days ago?

Did you get the same thing too tweetie?
Wait for at least one more freak snow fall tweetie, then it'll be safe to plant (After Mothers day usually).

I keep trying to pull it north Tweet, it just doesn't want to stay. I've decided to go south for a week, hope they get rid of some of those storms down there.

The worse thing is (this is soooo bad...) I had decided to forgoe the $82.50 monthly bus pass cost and took my bike out to bike to work on April 3rd (20 km each way - 12.42 miles - got the calcultor out) and biked in to work - with mitts on & long bike pants, T-shirt, sweater & windbreaker coat on & made it to work (with the wind in my face at times) in 40 minutes (no conversion necessary here) - not sure how I did that. But brought my bike in for a tune-up and now have to wait 2-3 weeks for it to come back (sigh) I tried saving money & getting exercise (this was my new years resolution last year & last summer I took the bus most days) this year I HAVE to take my bike (I'm beat when I get to work but at least I sleep better - & I need to shed these extra baby pounds (my baby is turning 6 next month). I'll have to wait until May to bike to work (which may be good as we got snow again - they used the "F" word on the radio - "flurries" - bad word!

I'm still looking at a three foot snowbank in my back yard from where the city plow piled it up, jerks. I sure hope we don't get anymore, we hit 60 today which was so nice and for the first time actually had the doors of the house open to let a bit of breeze through. Didn't last too long though, wind switched to the north and that's still cold.
