Look Maw, No Jacket!

We're back to the cold on this Sunday morning after the overnight temperature dropped to below freezing. 

But yesterday was a different story.

After walking downtown wearing just a jacket and not a coat, I actually doffed it in the car as we sipped coffee and  feasted on delicious blueberry scones down by the water.

I will spare you the de rigueur car selfie in favour of the one that Sue took on our very brief stroll in the park.

Did you notice? No jacket on the old boy, and no snow or ice in the background.

There was, however, a lot of water, so we didn't get far along the path. We did not require Gandalf to shout, "Thou shalt not pass!"


There was a lot of ponding all around the path.




Our promenade may have been a short one, but how lovely it was. It was one of those almost sublime, early spring days that winter-weary Canauckleheads appreciate so much.

  1. Yay for your spring day outing. No wellies for wading through the ponds, but also no coats. I loved Sue's portrait, with all the shades of black and shadows...and your bright smiles.

  2. We are heading into warmer weather also. The water displays how much snow you had in a different way.

    2. That is mostly from recent rain although some spring melts actually leave more ponding that this, depending on how much snow fell and how rapidly and late it melted.

  3. Grab those days when you can -- and soon, they'll be all no-jacket days!

  4. No snow or jacket! What a turnaround--hope it lasts. Is that water from snowmelt?

  6. Yesterday our temperature here in Montreal was 21. Today it is plus 2. Tomorrow will be colder like today, but the temperatures will rise again as the week goes on.

    1. Oh, these temperatures are in Celsius. For those who are in Fahrenheit, yesterday was in the 60s and today is in the 30s.
