All you have to do is call, and I'll be there.. You've got a friend..lol.
While reading a few of my friend's posts earlier where spring has sprung already, in my little corner of the Universe in Ontario, Canada, I am still waiting for Spring..
For the last couple of weeks, the promise of Spring with Robins returning, gave myself and others false hope that my own Spring Had Sprung..
Being born and raised in Canada and I would think parts of the Northern States, you just know especially in March, that Winter can and does still have a firm grip on our weather..
Add Climate change in there along with the "New Mother Nature" trying to take over and Old Man Winter battling one another, and you learn that Spring itself, does not fully happen until at least the end of April..
Do not quote me on that though as I have seen snow and cold temps here on our May 24th long weekend "Up Here In Canada."
Seeing all " Four Seasons" here myself in one 24 hour span since January 1963 until now in 2024 ( among seeing Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons, do this song Live in 2018) "You Learn" like a fellow Canadians song that all four seasons here happen in one day..
Winter is Back for me here right now with no sign of Spring, for this "Canadian Girl."
You just learn, no matter the signs of Spring, with possibly warm temps in March and any flower poking it's head up along with Robins and other birds, Winter is not finished battling with Mother Nature at all..
For those of you here, experiencing Spring and seeing your photos with both gardens you have, flowers blooming along with vegetables in your own neck of the Woods, as of Saturday morning, this is what I had both experienced and was shoveling, in the first two photos..
One never puts away their toques, parka, mitts, long johns, winter boots , shovel, snow tires if you are from Canada and or the Northern U.S States, even when Spring in your area where you reside has sprung..Never plant anything either until

after April, no matter just how mild it is..
Mother Nature has other plans. Weather wise at least..
Seasons are definitely not as marked as they used to be when I was a kid. And I'm it's not because my memory is playing up!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on that one my friend.It has all changed since we were younger..
DeleteI don't put my electric blanket away until May 😂
ReplyDeleteWise woman you are my friend..👌
DeleteI'm over here wearing a hoodie, spring may have sprung here in Florida but the mornings are still chilly. :)
ReplyDeleteYou never know, you could end up with another "false Spring" before the real one comes along.
No doubt in my mind that at least until early May say, it truly will not be spring here at all. Sounds chilly indeed for you there at the moment. I have heard from a few snowbirds here I know that FLA. can and does get chilly the odd time there..
DeleteYes, until summer hits, then we're just like you. Humid and incredibly hot no matter what.
ReplyDeleteSmiling here as not all Americans and others from all over the world have any idea just how hot and humid our summers are up here....lol.
ReplyDeleteThere's lots of stereotypes that hold true then there's the ones that don't. :)
DeleteIt is that stereotype of other countries we all have..lol
ReplyDeleteI still need to blog about stereotypes shortly...lol.
ReplyDeleteJoy,
ReplyDeleteWe had a mild and snow free February and 3 weeks in March. Then snow last Thursday and again on Sunday with melting away after. And flakes in the sky today.
I say spring starts here (43º N latitude) on March 1, but that winter will argue about it until at least May 10. And I often wear my toque until the middle of May before switching to the hat I sign off with.
🤠
Hello you. Nice to see you again. Sounds like we share the same weather system so you can definitely relate..lol.
DeleteIt's similar here in Minnesota. We had an exceptionally mild spring going, then had a three day snowstorm that ended yesterday. I'm not gonna shovel my driveway. The sun is strong enough by March that it should melt itself off...maybe not until next week though.
ReplyDeleteYes we have a lot of similarities with our weather as Minnesota is not that far away. I hope your snow has started to melt now. Mine is all gone as this week has been mild and sunny for the most part but rain is on the way..
