Waiting for Spring

If you live in Canada, and more specifically southern Ontario, you will know what I mean when I say that spring is just around the corner and you're dying to see it.

We have snow, and then plants pushing up out of the ground, and then is snows on top of them again.

We are so eager to get outside again and clean up all the sticks that have blown into the yard over the winter, but it's still so muddy because the ground is so soft, that the post winter clean up isn't that practical yet.

And now, in late April it's the rain.  One day it's cold and raining, then next day a bit warmer, but still raining.

Half the time the sky still looks grey like this, and we have these little ponds of water in the grass from the melted snow.

The funny thing about the area we live in, is we tend to get these mild winter-like temperatures well into the spring season and then WHAM! It's summer!  In the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) we live in, we don't get very many days of classic spring temperatures between 15 - 20 degrees.  

So what do you do with rainy days and weather that's still a bit too cool?  

- walk the dog like the lady in the picture above is (a Brampton Picture)

- catch up on house projects inside

- Plan your garden and outdoor projects on paper.

So there you have it, hang in there, before you know it the nice weather will be here.
