Spring in Montreal...................

DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THIS.......................

It's Tuesday - March 19 - roughly 6 o'clock in the evening  - I need to run to the store to pick up a few things
Care to join me for a beautiful Spring Walk?

The plow hasn't been down the street yet - how lucky!!!  OK let's go - the store's only 5 minutes away.

I may have bragged for the last couple of weeks that the snow was melting and it was very spring like here
in Montreal
SHUT UP SUZAN -  seriously, just SHUT UP - you'd think I would know better by now .....................

Can you hear the birds chirping in the trees?

Do you see the " buds " on the bushes ?

Don't these " Pines " make you think of summer by the lake - adirondack chairs and camp grounds ?

Doesn't this no parking sign scream " Tulips " ?  Just the right amount of color to send my heart soaring in hopeful glee

not enough color for you?
how about this big beautiful bouquet of Street Lights ?

and it's not ALL red - there's splashes of blue too!

Birds are starting to build their nests

Spring planters are getting filled

Terraces are almost ready for the outdoor patio sets

So if I did commiserate with any of you last week ( quite smugly I would guess - because that's what I DO )
over all the snow you had -
And if I did unintentionally intentionally brag that it really was Spring Like here in Montreal - all I can say today is
PAYBACK'S AN ITCH..............it really is

Do you have a " Spring " in  your walk yet?
Does this help?

nah, I didn't think so - I'm going to go eat my words with a bag of chips I just picked up at the store.
If I can't have spring - I can most definitely eat a bag of chips - the whole bag by the way -
because that's what happens when Mother Nature messes with me...................

O Canada! Our home and native land
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise
The true north, strong and free
From far and wide, O Canada
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee

except when it's like this Canada - then I'm all like
"Oh say can you see - from the dawn's early light............."

from somewhere in Florida

this is what I got to hail tonight ( at the twilight's last gleaming )

I will ALWAYS stand on guard for you, Oh Canada
But right now,  I wish I could do it from Florida................

Montreal - where you can get 3 seasons in one week, lovely isn't it?
Just freaking lovely!
Happy Spring Everyone :)
It looks a little better today - no less snow - but the sun is out -
Thank you Mother Nature for that, at the very least! ( and I promise - no more gloating )
