hello May!

If this absolutely gorgeous day is any indication of what May has in store for us, I’m going to be one happy lady. I’m glad I caught this stunning show Mama Nature decided to put on.

bye-bye April, you were good to me

aprill21-30
Days filled with sunshine and the promise of Spring. A trip to the greenhouse that soothed my soul. Lazy sunday mornings listening to the rain and relaxing drives down some of my favorite roads.

Thank you, April. See you next year.

rainy days of sunshine

april13-20
Rainy days and sunshine? Rainy days and Sundays? meh, whatever :) The ice has melted, the sun has come out and dare I say? Spring is truly here to stay.

And in the midst of it all, horrific happenings in the U. S of A. Hard to celebrate anything amongst the horror and chaos of the Boston Marathon explosions, but I choose to see the resounding bravery, unity and strength in the aftermath. I choose to celebrate life and hold fast to hope.

This was my week.

Consciously, or unconsciously, a lot of hope and optimism in this week’s photos.

Well, all except that last one ;)

So really, what’s Spring without a little bit of an ice storm? A whole lot of ice storm, actually.

Our entire town was shut down as a result of this storm. Power outages were frequent, with some outlying areas without power for a couple of days. A lot of towns in Southern Ontario faired about the same. Trees and hydro lines down everywhere. I finally ventured out in the middle of the afternoon to take these photos, and simply stepping foot out the door was beyond treacherous. I figured that the yard would offer better traction and it was so crazy to hear the grass breaking and crunching under my boots – it was like a clear lake of ice. I’m hoping nobody saw my two foot shuffle across the driveway.

And yes, I think I need a new birdfeeder :)
