March 2026 - for me was a month of WAITING...
Waiting for Easter, as I moved through the 40 days of Lent...
Waiting for MORE Hours of DAYLIGHT - and MORE WARM WEATHER.
Squirrels appear here and there on my calendar - and there was one early morning rabbit spotting. But no green buds appeared on trees.
Hopefully they'll appear on April's blank page!
Today is Easter Sunday...
May you have a joyful and peaceful day... Enjoy our beautiful world... and the people around you!
Here in Ottawa I'm hoping for NO rain!
But if it does rain, I'll remind myself that "April showers bring May flowers"!
But for someone looking for a simple food decoration that connects to the original Easter story, here's an easy idea... an open tomb with the stone rolled away...
Ingredients found at a nearby doughnut shop!
Love it!
Snow is finally melting here in Ottawa ...
I recently took my first spring walk in the college grounds.
It was quite walkable... I was glad to be back...
I was astounded, however, by the size of the gigantic snow mound (mountain?) that blocked a path I like to take.
The accumulation of snow cleared from the college parking lots, it seems larger than piles I remember from previous years.
I wonder how long it will take to melt and disappear!
This picture was taken a week ago - on Thursday, Match 26.
And the next one was taken last Monday, four days later... Both show the same corner of our yard.
Most of our snow has gone, and I raked up a large container of pine cones, dead branches and grass!
In a matter of days, we jumped from winter to spring!
As I look back on my photos...
I realize that we may have had a lot of snow...
But we also had many beautiful sunrises...
And sunsets ... if I happen to look up at just the right moment!
