snow boot snivel (is snivel really a word?)

I am well aware that most of my fellow Canadians are still stuck in a deep freeze, anxiously waiting for spring. But folks, I live on Vancouver Island, where it is balmy and warm and wet.

Spring comes early, we gloat and we we brag for a couple of months. We take pictures and post pictures of spring blooms and sunshine. We start to prepare for the heat and to talk about summer holidays.

Everyone knows around these parts that after Easter we can bust out the sandals and capri pants. I even got my spring pedicure (the products are just for show - I went to the spa). I'm ready. My feet are ready. My sandals are ready. So would someone please explain this?

Record snowfalls today. The most snow on March 28th since 1962. I won't tell you what else happened in 1962, but it was a good year. A snowy year, but a good one.

My sandals are still in the closet. They want out!!!!

(But doesn't the snow on the blossoms make for beautiful photos?)
