   Tell me about it. It’s time. Unfortunately those rodents declared 6 more weeks of winter. Don’t shrug off the coat too soon, Jose, and looks like we’ll be waiting a minute or two for those blooms, Elona.

   Yeah seriously. The spring can’t come any sooner, so I can do things like take off this ridiculous coat and not worry whether I’m going to fall ass backwards onto some ice. And I’m sure you’re going to see a little more spring just because you wrote this post. In the interim, let me stop breathing so the gust doesn’t make me colder :: shakes head::

   Tracy,
   I’m waiting for spring too. Just heard that this January has been the coldest here in Mississauga for 170 years and we’ve already had more snow this year than all of last. You’re waiting for poppies. I’m waiting for the pussy willows to bloom.

   Luckily, right mow 6 of my orchids are blooming to distract me.

   Imbolc less than two twirls of the Earth away.
   Really.

   I was looking for crocuses today–a bit too optimistic, but no longer ridiculous.

   Yahweh. (Apparently Hebrew doesn’t transcribe here, or at least on my end–but maybe it does on yours–????)

   Amen.

   You’re absolutely right, Steve. There is no better and more hopeful place than Montreal during those first warm days as the blanket starts to melt. Walking down the street you can trip over people you haven’t seen in months who are out trying help shrug the blanket off the streets. Ooooh – I’m looking forward to it!

   Tracy,
   It’s coming… Just hold on.
   But oh… do I have NOT fond memories of snow and cars in La Belle Province, especially in NDG. The parking/snow cleaning nightmare just seems like it will never end. But it does. And folks living in the south have no idea of how northerners like those in Montreal celebrate even the first hints of spring. Even when it was still cold (above freezing though), I can distinctly remember everyone out sitting on their porch or steps along the streets in Westmount and NDG in tshirts and shorts just soaking in the sun – hoping to tease summer to arrive even faster.

   Thanks for making me visualize all of that again… Good memories!

   Spring is on the way!
