After a really, really long and cold winter in Canada, the only thing anybody wishes for, is for the snow to go away. Last week, during the March break, the temperatures were in positive, we almost got fooled by the fool’s spring! I know it is called fool’s spring for a reason. We can see birds flying, snow cleared away, few shoots protruding from the ground, and voila, we think it is spring. And year after year, there is snow within hours or days of the Spring equinox! Told you. It is fool’s spring. The real spring is yet to come. Sometime in early April, the ground will really thaw and then yards would be full of myriads of colors and buzzing insects. Till then we have deal with snow on a March morning. Thankfully, it is light, and we will not need to get the snow plovers out. But really, who knows, we can actually get a snowstorm. As they say, you can never trust the weather!
