Swept

Yesterday morning, I heard a noise outside my window. I investigated in time to see the street sweeper go by, cleaning up the winter’s debris near the sidewalk where the snow gets piled. It’s almost a better sign than the return of the robins because some of those silly birds come back way too soon. Guy up the street was thrilled enough to post of the occasion on fb, and here I am blogging. Silly Canadians we be. 

BTW, the front yard glacier has now been gone for a week, and it has been raining cats and dogs with no white stuff in view.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, but I heard another strange noise outside the other evening. I looked out to see two kids playing with balls, without coats. I am not sure when I last heard or saw such a thing.

  1. What a happy little avatar you are! But I have to say, just to look at him, I would have guessed he was you.

    We have had torrential rains and storms rattling through, and I have had some wonderfully coatfree days. Saturday, we are supposed to have another round of them. SUNDAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO SNOW.😵‍💫

  3. Spring is definitely coming to your corner of the world. All the signs are there! I'd like to think the same here but next week some temps in the 20s. (Maybe that's at night but in any event, too low!)
