It's spring somewhere

This last two weeks has been weird weather. First we had freezing weather and huge winds. Last Tuesday we had a big dump of snow with a storm overnight, about 5 inches on our deck when we woke. Today it was +12 and sunny, and will stay that way for about a week. The big hares are back inour garden and we see prints from Mr. & Mrs. Skunk, who appear to be living under our front deck this winter. They take nightly strolls but don't bother us at all - so far! We make lots of noise to let them know we're about and we're fine as long as some stray cat doesn't nail them! I guess they are after the same mice for food.
Liz and Clive are tormenting us with photos of spring flowers (inset) in the parks in England already. It's hard to believe spring is somewhere while we still have gobs of winter. Looking at my photos of Puerto Vallarta, it would be nice to be in the sun again...
Today Ted and I went walking in Glenmore Park for an hour or so and didn't need jackets. We are so fortunate to be around so much parkland and green space. Ted is waiting to hear from a surgeon about orthroscopy for his knee, but walking is easy. If it stays this warm all weekend, we'll have a quagmire before long.
