That's it, we're through February. Turns out it was one of the coldest Februarys Saskatchewan has ever had. That's cold because we have had some cold ones. March is coming in nicely though, whatever that means. I look at it like everyday we get through with nice weather is one less bad one. I'm hoping for a lot of good ones in March.
Have a great one today

Dear Loved,
We have had a cold winter too. But yesterday we saw some tiny green shoots coming up through the snow. Can you believe it? They are tulips-to-be. So there is hope. Every day, we are one day closer to SPRING! Have a good day today and an even better one tomorrow,
Love, BJ
Hi Loved,
We are being hit with another snowstorm, as we speak. Calgary has certainly experienced winter this year!! We usually have a chinook wind blow in now and then in Feb. and March, but not 2018.
So, I'm thinking when Mother Nature gives you snow, make snowmen!
Stay warm,
ME

👋Hi folks!
🌏Now that Saskatchewan, Ontario and Alberta have checked in, I can report on winter 2018 in British Columbia🗻. Here, we have seen too much snow❄, put up with too many blustery days💨 and spent too long in the deep freeze🐧.
👀March did make a quiet showing but I couldn't even conjure up a mental picture of a lamb.🐑 There are no signs of tulips pushing through🌷 and the only snowman⛄ I've seen is one standing by the side of the road, pointing south with a twiggy arm👍 and holding a sign marked 'Albuquerque'☀.
🙊I won't dare to say that things can't get any worse but I do hope that a glorious BC spring🌄 will soon begin to take over from this arctic winter✨.
Love Lucy💕

Haha. Louise, I'm laughing at your description of the snowman by the side of the road. It made me think of when I gave Barbara the quote: "If life gives you snow, make snowmen", she replied, "If life gives you snow, go to California!"
From very snowy Calgary,
ME
xoxoxo
💌As you know, Mary Ellen, a lot of people do exactly what Barbara suggests.✈🐦 It's not a very practical or long-term solution, though.🌏 We Canadians have become very good at playing in the snow.🎿🏂⛄🗻

💌Our greetings are being sent to you from Calgary where we are visiting family in the week leading up to Easter.🎍 In fact, we were only reminded of your March 28th birthday in talking about yesterday's celebration with Sarafina👸.

Hi Lucy,
Noah just sent me a reply to your greetings. He said, "That's Awesome. Tell Louise thanks for doing that."
And yesterday Zachary said, "Awe, that's sweet. Thanks for sending it to me."
I always copy and paste and send my grandkids your blog greetings in case they don't get to see them. They always appreciate being remembered on their day!
You are incredible!
Love,
ME
