There first day of spring was absolutely wonderful
here (Ottawa), 6 degrees Celsius. There I was,
wandering downtown, no coat, regular shoes,
considering putting the winter coat and boots in the
basement. However, my husband reminded me that putting
away the winter clothes is a sure way to bring back
bad weather. So, here I sit, looking out the window
at...yup, snow. And it will snow all day according to
the Weather Network. 

Parker, I will trade a cooling charm for a warming
one. Don't need anything to melt snow, as that is
mostly gone, except for what's falling now and the 3
foot piles in my back yard (used to be 6 feet high)
that just don't get enough sun.

Sheryll, who desperately wants to be anywhere but
Canada in the spring and is eternally grateful she no
longer lives up north (annual snowfall in Goose Bay,
Labrador - 14 feet)
