I'm Soooo Ready...

for nice weather that is! After growing up in Ontario I know how lucky (and spoiled) I am now to live on the west coast. No big snowstorms or even any snow to shovel as far as snow goes, no hail or thunderstorms and no humidity and unbearable heat in the summer. Sure, we get snow but it's nothing to panic about (unless there is none on the mountains) and we get thunderstorms once in a while as well as the odd sweltering hot day but mostly we get spring and fall all year round. And yeah - we get rain during our 'winter' months.
But  all that being said, I am so ready for summer this year.
So then what is with the big tease that Mother Nature is giving us?! Just when I think it's okay to pull out the patio umbrella and take the cover off the barbecue it either rains or is cold and windy - or even worst - all 3!! This has been the strangest weather. 26 degrees celcius in Ontario in March while it's only 8 degrees celcius in BC. It was shorts and t-shirts in Alberta then bam - 2 weeks later a snowstorm on Easter Weekend. Weird!  Mother Nature is certainly a stubborn and unpredictable woman!
But okay now Mama, enough is enough! The calendar says it's spring and I LOVE spring! The cherry blossoms and magnolia trees are co-operating and now it's time that you did too. Stop the tears and quit your huffing and puffing and give us a nice long warm hug.

This is why I love spring (photo compliments of my talented friend Aletta).                                                                                                                               

And this is why I'm looking forward to summer!
