Happiness is...
...BOOTS!
I'd forgotten how fantastic trudging through snowbanks can be when you're wearing knee-high boots! It's not so cold out, and if you're bundled and ready? Snowbanks are a blast! The snow outside is that thick, heavy, scrunchy kind. It's the kind that stinks for skiing, but is PERFECT for snowman-making.
The only problem is that the sun is shining so brightly, that any snow persons would melt very quickly.
I may just have to build one anyway...and time his/her/its demise! :)
Is there anything that screams renewal and rejoicing more than a beautiful field of thick white snow? People can complain all they want about the snow today...I'm looking at it as a reminder of what Easter is all about.
Alleluia...he is risen indeed!
Happy Easter Sunday, people. :)

Wow! That's almost enough to make me sad that pretty much all of our snow has melted here in frigid Manitoba. Almost- not quite.
Maybe it's because I don't have cool knee-high boots.
Happy Easter!

i thought it was "friendly" manitoba? frigid is more amusing, though :) (a friend of mine was married to a manitobian and swore it was a misprint and was supposed to read "fiendly")

If you miss the snow that badly, Princess, feel free to come up north here to the end of the road (Just hit highway 6 and go north past Thompson - Don't turn towards Gillam - and keep on going) where there is still 4 feet of snow.

I think you might be nuts. But in a fun, happy way.

Build the snowman if you still can and take a picture. I bet it'll be nicer than the one, if there are no leaves in it.

Arthur I would love to meet you (and Sadie too - Maritimes, here I come!) but there's no way you're getting me that far north!
Feel free to drop me a line the next time you're in Winnipeg though!
