Hasn't today in Edmonton been just the most glorious day? The sun shone ALL day and the temperature got WAY above freezing to +8c..........people back home may not appreciate how warm that can be but Lloyd and I spent time outside in t-shirts today......snow still on the ground of course but after -20c temps all winter long anything above freezing feels warm......
We spent all day today outside.....I had my chair out on the driveway and sat with a mug of tea for a while soaking in the suns rays.......the children played outside the whole time....building snowmen, making snowballs (this is the only time of year that we have the right kind of 'packing' snow for snowballs and snowmen as the rest of winter the snow is too dry and powdery).............Sam used his spade to dig and crack lumps of ice off of the driveway.......and we all had rides on the sled while it was tied to the back of the quadbike.......
Even the chickens came out for some sunshine!
And all around us we could here the wonderful sound of water dripping....YES the snow was starting to melt :) They say tomorrow will be cold but that the rest of the week will be ABOVE freezing :)
Let the THAW commence!!!!
