Spring approaches..

Last couple of days have almot been "warm-ish"...about 10C at the height of afternoon..

We will bid winter adios soon..

YEAH!!

We are a little winter weary,but hope springs eternal..

And Spring will soon awaken Mother Nature from her slumber

Once again we will standing in a circle,rejoicing in the Circle of Life.

From Robert's colony..

No new members for almost 2 years. Then suddenly there are 4-5 more?? The lumberyard nearby is temporarily shutdown from snow damage...are these some of theirs??..or the nearby clearcut ??..something has changed,and where is the female..?

Off to the vet tomorrow for these 2..

Robert has yet to name..

What a difference a month makes...

Had an avalanche off the metal roof...FWOMP!...

Down to the garden below...4 feet of snow,on top of the 2 feet we already had on the ground..

Lots of damage,but have been able to salvage most of the shrubs around the house..

And then it was gone!!!...good riddance,and don't come back...ever!!!

Since Victoria received 4 feet of snow in one night in the winter of '96-97...the natives get

easily spooked by the mere mention of possible snowfalls now...

The grocery stores are packed,the lineups are long...the gas stations are busy..

Everyone getting prepared for the worst..just in case...

But then again...it is Victoria...

Snow shovel??

What's that??...

Putting salt on the road??...what??...not on your popcorn??

Wear pants??...you mean I can't wear my shorts everyday??

Spring is on the horizon....
