A not-so-Spring-like weekend.

Our weather has been nothing short of a nightmare for anyone excited to welcome in Spring. It snowed all day on Saturday with a few intervals of rain. It's been cold, damp & windy.

Sunday morning started out at -15C but we did have lots of sun.

It was a good weekend to get some cooking done in my teeny kitchen. I have an addition to show you that I think will make working in this small space a little easier.   We have installed IKEA cupboards, which we really like, but I could not get used to digging in a cupboard for my pots and pans. I am used to having an island at the old house where pots were in close reach so adding a small pot rack was the answer. Plus it freed up a valuable cupboard.


My daughter and her partner were over for dinner on Sunday. Roast beef with all the trimmings for the guys (including Kane) and veggie lasagna, cole-slaw & steamy-hot rolls for the non-meat eaters.
Chocolate cake with chocolate fudge icing for dessert.
And tea. Always tea.

So, we hope for more spring-like weather this coming week.
We need more sun to thaw the earth and keep the kitties warm.
We need to hear the Spring birds arrive and see the first of the crocuses appear.
We need longer days.
There is so much beauty to look forward to and we are all more than ready to welcome it.

"Where are you, Spring?"

"We long to see you again."
