Every year it seems like we play out the same scenario in our house. It will be the end of March and things will be warming up and spring will seem on its way. Vern gets all excited for the coming of spring and he packs the winter jackets and boots away. (Mind you the family enjoys the thought of no snow and warmer temperatures, and we hadn't used our winter jackets for a couple of weeks.) So on Saturday with it being March 31st. Vern worked very hard cleaning out our storage room to make room to pack the winter boots and jackets away. It was quite nice to get the winter boots packed away and out of the front hall but the kids and I cringed at the thought of our winter jackets being packed away. (After all we are living in Canada and we have gotten snow in May before.) But we thought maybe this year would be the year of full SPRING ahead, no turning back, and the winter gear could stayed packed away until the fall. However, these last few days have gotten progressively colder. We can no longer live in denial as the cold and snow is back. Ruth and I have been shivering in our spring jackets and we were ready to take the plunge to move back into our winter jackets. Like I said, this scenario has been played out in our house many times. So this afternoon after running an errand with Ruth, we came home to our winter jackets laying on the table waiting for us. (smile) Although, the thought is painful to know we are putting the winter jackets back on, at least we are warmer. We have had a bit of snow off and on today and are supposed to get about 2-4 inches of snow tonight. You know you're in Canada when - spring showers at times means, snow showers!
