As you can see from the pictures, I drove out to Swan Haven to see the swans today - a sure sign of spring even if the weather doesn't know it's spring yet. The open water is quite a distance from the viewing point, so you must use a scope to see the swans if you want to see them larger than white dots, but you can sure hear them. They'll soon be flying over my house once they are rested and ready to head further north.
My bedroom is now painted and put back together. Made and froze an apple pie and chicken paprikas, awaiting Shaun's arrival. He said he would be in town on Monday night (that's tomorrow - guess I should phone him and see if his plans are still the same). He plans to start work right away - construction again.
Although the snow is all gone in town, there is still about a foot and a half on my lawn and my driveway is shear ice. It still drops about 10 degrees below zero at night so even though it warms up during the day the thaw is slow. I want to put in a small veggie garden this summer, but can't see the garden yet, so must be patient. Will be flying to Vancouver for the weekend in the beginning of May - a weekend deal I'm taking advantage of, so I'm looking forward to that. Not much else new here. Saw the movie Vera Drake - it was good but a bit slow - Vera was either very happy or very sad in the movie - she played both emotions well. Niece Jenn and her family are off to Disneyland this coming week - I'm envious. I'm sure they'll have a good time in California. That's about it for now.
