Spring....?! First day of spring and we had 20cms of snow fall..... Vin & the girls were wearing sad faces as the school buses were still running. Then....joy! Anita, from school, rang to report that the buses were not running !!! The girls couldn't get there ski pants on quick enough to get out & play in it! Ralph, Janices's Dad arrived, in his backhoe, to shovel the driveway. I asked Till to go & invite him in for coffee. As Ralph was seating himself at the table...he said..."thanks for & the coffee invitation".....then he looked at Till...."and the tune up about 'stealing' your snow"!!!! All was forgiven, especially once the girls had made tunnels through the pile that Ralph had pushed up at the top of the driveway!!! The really big pile at the bottom of the driveway was the perfect battlement for the ensuing snowball war. Now Ralph was not only forgiven, but praised for his handiwork! Fickle women... Although 20cms of snow was on the ground, it really was a beautiful spring day.....warm & sunny. I am not sure what the temperature was, we were too busy in the snow!?! The day before....the ground was brown & bare.....overnight blizzard ( the snow was not falling, but coming in sideways) and voila! Instant Narnia!!!
