Given my recent thoughts that Spring must be just around the corner, I guess (?) that it has arrived… but Canadian style!
We had 3″- 4″ of snow yesterday; much the same overnight, and some more expected during today. This morning I met our next door neighbor and we both agreed that Spring has arrived. Much as we would like some warmer weather, we are now into a typical Canadian Spring.
To celebrate the season, my neighbor will be getting his snow blower out. Carol and I will be getting our shovels out, and Ray will be roaming the back garden, or tethered to the front porch… and we will all be celebrating this gorgeous time of year! For those of you in hotter climes… we are not going to share our good fortune!
Below is a very brief video taken early this morning!
A New Direction Perhaps? 
Well, I am quite disappointed you don’t plan on sharing any of your “Spring,” Colin! Dry as a bone here and currently 75 degrees at 3:00 pm. *Sigh* Seriously though, I’m happy at your good fortune.

It’s supposed to be even warmer tomorrow. And yet the Hudson Valley is getting upwards of 12-18 inches of the white stuff.

Based on Trumps thoughts, I guess we could blame the Chinese for monkeying with our weather? đ

Precisely! Blame everyone else and never take responsibility for our own actions. I’m sure he signed an executive order to that effect. đ

You took the words right out of my mouth but then… there are the alternative facts? đ

Oh, how Bailey would love to join Ray on his snow adventure. I could really relate to welcoming spring with another snow dump. March and April are generally the big snow dump months. Bailey loves it which adds fun to a chore.

Hi Cupcake… and not only do I get a back brush, but I also smell a little of cedar! Woof! Ray.

I loved the video it just warms the heart to see an animal doing something they enjoy. We thought our spring had arrived as the last two weeks have been in the 80’s here. They now say we will only see about 45-55 as a highs the next 3 days with freeze warnings at night. Enjoy your Spring!

Given our lack of control over the weather, it does seem to be prudent to decide to enjoy it! The alternative is simply not fun:)

Our dogs have had fun in the snow as well already. They are back outside now, with my youngest, as the snow continues to fall.
See, we were nice and sent you some, Enjoy! đ

He still loves to be caressed by the bushes. So, I prefer our Central European spring… lol!

Hi Erika. He has always had an interest in cedar hedges! Perhaps he is putting the scent of cedar on himself? đ

It’s really nice to see Ray enjoying the snow as it makes me feel a little bit better. We are getting snow here today as well. I am not happy about the snow and will not be celebrating it. (Sorry) I know it is pretty, but I am also pretty sick of the cold. So yes, I am glad to see that Ray enjoys it so much.

Hi TC. Given that I cannot do anything about the weather, it’s more a case of deciding whether to be happy with it, or miserable about it. I chose to be happy, and can focus on that when I see the beauty of the fresh snow on the shrubs and trees; the neighborly gestures that it draws out; Ray’s clear pleasure at playing in the snow, and I even get a workout clearing it! Much as I will look forward to wearing shorts and tshirts, I can handle this!:)
