Hi, All, I am not writing a whole post today but I am going to share a video I saw on Facebook in case you haven’t seen it. I really enjoyed it so I thought I’d post it along with a couple more photos to get us really in the mood for spring. I took...

Spring is in the air!
I know it’s only March 6th and I say this too early every year, but the air does seem different recently. There is a thaw going on and that can’t help but make us imagine we feel spring in the air. Spring is absolutely my favourite season. I know people complain about the garbage that...
