Is it Spring Yet?!

Smiley Snow Shovelers

It's hard to be completely grumpy about a late winter snow storm when three gallant, smiley, strapping young men take a break from their activities to whisk away the white stuff for you. Thanks James, Sebastian and Simon - much appreciated!

Beautiful Butterflies

It also helps to watch Rick Mercer's take on it ... although this might be a little too true to be funny, when you think about it ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkDvqQKGgDA
















There are many other small mercies, like a membership to the Butterfly Conservatory. The conservatory combines a few of my favourite things - like bright light, saucy birds, green plants, warmth, and of course, beautiful butterflies. A trip there is like a mini tropical vacation, and reduces the chance of harming people who talk about their trips to warm places ...

We are also, again, grateful for prayers, cards, emails and texts of support, and food. Shout-out to Dawn and Tracey across the street who manage to provide warm meals timed to correspond exactly to Supportive Husband's arrival home from work. Hard to find a more concrete example of loving one's neighbour.

Monday is the last of the first four chemo rounds. After this, they change up the pre-chemo and chemo drugs for the next four. Need to keep things interesting, I guess. Hang in, everyone. It's almost April.
