March 20th, first day of spring! Or so we think. These past couple of months of been very difficult for the average Canadian. When we think of spring we usually relate it to snow melting, birds chirping, flowers blooming, but in this abomination of a season we are mixed with blistering winds and new snow storms right when we are supposed to be receiving the spring every single one of us deserves. I'ts into April and we still have that cold white stuff lying on our front lawns. Isn't it about time that it all goes away and we just have a normal, calm spring? I guess not, instead this winter has lasted us much longer than we have wanted. In the past 2 years we have been able to take off our snow boots and winter jackets and put on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt for March break. But here we are, in April, still waiting for the snow to melt, and still waiting for the time to come when we can open the windows and doors of our houses to let the nice warm breeze from the spring air rush through our house filling it with the scent of flowers and blossoming plants. We should be able to take off the winter jacket and snow boots to put on a nice pair of shorts and maybe even sandals. So what do you think, could our time of warmth be coming ,or is mother nature going to keep on messing with us?
