It's so funny that when we talk temperatures from November through April people always add either "above or below." I'm glad you're back writing. I've been away, too, so I'm spending the evening catching up on my favorite blogs.

Yes, all the photography on the blog is my own. PEI is beautiful in the summer but brutal during the long winters. Gardening doesn't happen for awhile yet. I hope your home and your property help keep your spirits up. Stock up on good books to read and a few indoor hobbies. I help pass the long winters by feeding wild birds and although there will be snow for awhile yet, at least the spring songs of the birds and the new spring migrants help brighten each day! Keep smiling, and blogging! :o)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195392082083680330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-89343193365864490552014-04-01T21:38:07.987-03:002014-04-01T21:38:07.987-03:00I'm hanging onto that thought!! spring can...I'm hanging onto that thought!! spring can't possibly be too far away now.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-39943088290642203192014-04-01T20:24:58.414-03:002014-04-01T20:24:58.414-03:00Hi Aaron, the 'snaps' still aren't don...Hi Aaron, the 'snaps' still aren't done with us yet.

But after 15 years in London I could not even think about going back to that kind of weather. Loved your ‘Plus1’ video – we could have needed something similar here this winter with 3 months of rain, so happy it’s no longer raining here, I even had my hose out last week-end for the first time to water the pots, and I didn’t mind :-)<br />Hope spring arrives for you soon!HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-55683498622155219772014-03-19T03:13:02.075-03:002014-03-19T03:13:02.075-03:00Best Rick Mercer ever!!
