Finally a Little Rain

At last - spring - if only for a day. It has been sooooo warm here - at least 5 degrees warmer than TO pretty much every day for well over a week.

Here is a picture of the leaves from the walk this past Monday.

And here they are again yesterday.

You could nearly watch them grow. I swear there were barely any buds last weekend. And by Wednesday, you couldn't see the place next door. Mother Nature in over drive.

The rain is a good thing, since the road is a dust bowl and everything needs a rinse. Our neighbour Janet was in the lake day before yesterday and said it wasn't that cold - SURE!!

On the bad news side, the black flies are here. They were swarming on Thursday when we walked, but still not biting. I am pretty sure this rain will activate that response. But if we get some good hot days next week, maybe they will be gone for the long weekend.

Spoken like a true cottager.

Hope to see you soon.
