This is a rite of spring. I look out my window and see this.
They do this a few times in spring. They are sheltered, and the stronger sun keeps them warm in their coats, even when it is a crispy and windy day.
I have shown you photos of the fire hydrant almost completely obscured by snow, so we have come a long way. Since our property faces the wrong direction, our yard has further to go.
Now, I would like to tag on this video at the end. It's from a Montreal Canadiens hockey game last week. In the runup to the game, they filled the ice with the colours of the Ukrainian flag. Then a cellist and pianist played Imagine. It was quite stirring and worth watching in my opinion.
It can be said that the Montreal Canadiens do tributes better than any organization. One journalist humourously points out that it they are on a par with the House of Windsor in this regard.

Thank you for the video. It was so moving.
Growing up on a rural farm, we've never had the proximity to do such things. But back in the day, we would all get together to celebrate a "new building" or "new person" added to the collection, generally over a side of beef or roasted hog. We would spend many hours chin wagging and sometimes playing games. I miss those days.
Smart neighbors...enjoy a patch of warm sunshine! Love that song! I've been part of a choir singing it and often will share it on FB. May the Ukrainians have peace soon.
The cello was hauntingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I love that outdoor get together and smiled at the expression "chinwag." I don't use it but feel the need to work it into my conversation. Glad the snow is dissipating.
I did an outdoor sit for a bit the other day. Sure felt good!
That's very cool with the Montreal Canadiens. Thanks for sharing that.
I think we all are stricken by the pain and danger that the Ukrainians face and I feel guilt that our country is not finding more ways to halt this whole show of hatred and greed. I do find it amusing that they talk across the driveway. Is this because of COVID?
I've experienced bright warm sunny days when you can sit out in early spring. As a kid on the farm you'd find a haystack and bury in a little bit. It was pleasant and warm.
Great video!
I had a long, sunny walk to the mail box this week.
The Habs do these things right.
Very moving.
By that picture you look like you have less snow in your yard.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Nice that the neighbors are getting together at a distance and perhaps it's not too far off when they can do so closer. Enjoyed the video as well.
That's a great spot to safely visit!
Thank you for sharing this. It was a really moving tribute.
