Another Fine Sunday in Very Fine Month of April

How do you figure this continued run of super weather in April. Heck, even March was very fine: for March, that it. On Sunday afternoon, we were drawn outdoors. First there was a Tim's sandwich and coffee by the Mississippi River (still the little one in Ontario, not the mighty USA river).



Then, on a drive along rural roads, I spied the first Trilliums. They weren't profise in most places, and this one wasn't fully open. Nevertheless, a lot of progress was made in one week.



Later, we ended up taking Nikki Dee on much the same drive. In this case we stopped to visit some horses.



I keep on having to remind myself that it's still April and that this weather is highly unusual.

We do need rain though. Already the county has a fire ban in effect. Could be a long, hot, problematic summer.

  2. Warm during the day and cold during the night: almost all of April was brilliant. I bet by the time our national holidays kick in (Queen's Day, Liberation Day) it will be pouring with rain. I just hope Paris will be sunny.

  3. Sounds like a perfect day.

    I've seen other wild flowers, but no signs of trilliums yet.

  6. It rained hard all day Sunday here in SW Ontario and it was cold. But we really needed the moisture. Overall, April has been extraordinary for sure.

  9. I've been thinking the same thing, AC. It's been great weather and then I think of those areas that are hit by tornados and earthquakes and it somehow doesn't seem fair.

  10. I'm reading this blog while it is still snowing out there (has been all day)!!
    On Saturday I saw a girl out walking in a T-shirt and shorts - today everyone was in winter coats. How strange is this spring!?
