just because its Spring

On Monday, the 12th we had a very nice spring day.  The ice was melting on the lake.  Someone decided to take the dog out for a canoe ride.


That was the last nice day for that week.  We had snow, frozen rain, wind and cold weather all week.  There was ice all over the trees.  Pieces of ice would drop from the trees unto out deck and it looked like ice cubes all over the deck.  The ice was so heavy on one tree that the tree snapped right off and blocked our trail to the lake and landed very close to the shed.


However, the good news for the area was that the transit strike ended.  

We have had a busy week.  Monday afternoon we went home teaching and then to Tara's for Matthias's first birthday.  We stayed for family home evening.  Nathan wasn't home; he was in Calgary for the week.

Tuesday we both had appointments with the Dr. and then we had district meeting and spent the afternoon at Taras.  It was a beautiful spring day.  Bob and Keaton went for a walk and Tara and Lochlan walked over to the bulk barn.  I stayed with Matthi.

That evening we had supper at the mission home to meet the new couple coming to the Temple.  Bauers are going home in a couple of weeks and the Edwards have come to take their place in the office.


Too much sun to get a good picture.  This is the Temple president and his wife and all the Temple missionaries.  The Edwards are second from the right.

Wednesday was another beautiful day with temperatures in the twenties.  We had the temple in the morning and I slept all afternoon and then went to the Family History Center in the evening.  It was my fifth and last Wednesday subbing.  It was a very quiet evening - only one patron.

Today is another beautiful day.  It is supposed to get up to 28 degrees C.

Unfortunately this beautiful weather is not supposed to last.  Snow is forecast for next week.
