Ahhhhh spring! It doesn't officially start until Tuesday but with weather in the high teens today and sticking around all week, I think it's safe to say that spring has sprung! A part of me dreads that a freak snowstorm will hit us in the weeks to come but for now, I'm soaking in the rays!
Saturday was St. Patrick's Day and either we were oblivious last year or it was just a bigger event this year because the streets were littered with green people all day! Carl walked to the library on Saturday morning around 9:30am and I got a text from him that read "looks like they are already setting for drinking in the student ghetto"...And a few minutes later another text came in "did I say setting up? I meant they are already drinking!" The students were out all day and all night celebrating St. Patrick's Day! It was chaos! We spent our evening at a friends having a slightly tamer night then the students outside! This morning we thought it would be quiet around town but on our walk to church, already people were outside sitting on couches and roofs enjoying the sunny weather!
After church today we went out for brunch with some friends and then decided to take a longer walk home and go down by the water.
Beautiful! I am loving this weather!...And all those comments on Facebook about the rain and snow back home are not convincing us that the Vancouver area is where we want to be :)
Oh dear - to think the weather in Kingston is better than your family and friends in B.C. :( Well, we still love you and hope you will come home to sunny......um, well, sunny at the moment, lower mainland! We miss your sunny smiles! Love ya - mom
