I know I suffer from depression. I know I have to try to stay positive and see that really I have so much to be grateful for. But seriously, if this is a test of my ability to remain sane, it’s hitting a line now. My sunny disposition is getting a little cloudy.

I shouldn’t have to be paying for snow removal in April. April showers bring May flowers? At this rate April snow storms bring May flooding. I won’t get in my flower beds before June. Arrrggghhhh!!!

But saving grace this is Easter weekend. I have my granddaughters Friday night to help me remember the changing of the seasons and the wonder of my pal The Easter Bunny. Then on Easter Sunday I am running away to The Leaf at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg. https://www.assiniboinepark.ca/leaf/lifegrows

Beautiful gardens, butterflies, and no jackets needed. A friend and I are going to wander and see the beauty, take lots of pictures, and remember the beauty that spring and summer will bring.

Just when I am ready to scream at hearing of another snow storm, I remember that Quebec and Ontario have massive hydro outages because of ice storms, and I know a little snow never hurt anyone. So suck it up!!! I know I don’t want to move. I know I love my community. I know I am blessed to be warm, dry, fed, and I have the means to care for my needs. I will take a deep breath and remember I will be in paradise on Sunday. Happy Spring Time Everyone!!!

May I be safe. May I be healthy. May I be happy. May I leave with ease.
