Today is March 23, the second day of spring. I've been reading on other blogs about daffodils, garden planting and even some swimming and shorts-wearing. But here in the Great White North, our alarm went off as usual at 5:25am this morning and I got up to take a look out the window before dragging myself stumbling into the shower. This glimpse out the window looked like the middle of winter. Despite hearing the warning on the news, it was still surprising to see the roads covered in snow and the car with a good 5 inches on top and around the tires. I did a quick mental review of my schedule for the day, realized I didn't have any pressing that required me to be physically at the office, and heaved myself back into bed announcing "I'm staying home".
He put on a brave face and said he couldn't work from home, but he soon changed his tune when he heard the traffic reports. See out commute is an hour the highway and with crazy, winter traffic, that can easily multiply to 2 or 3 hours - each way.
So instead of spending the morning staring at brake lights on the 401, we are in our jammies, sipping coffee, eating bagels and staring out the window looking at this:
Yep, winter's not over yet - this is Canada after all...

Ah, man, so glad to live down south... even if we are hitting 90s already! I wanted to thank you for reading about my project on Modern Jane and for leaving a comment. As a new blogger, I sooo appreciate that!
Ohhhh daffodils, I'd kill to see some. We had temps in the 70's last week and now we're back to 40's and rainy. Not as bad as the snow but still, I'm needing spring in a BAD way. But still, pajamas and bagels doesn't sound to bad...
