Yoo-hoo ... spring?

It's supposed to snow again tomorrow. Sad, really. We had indisputably spring-like weather for the past three days, so it isn't difficult to see why I thought that spring had really arrived in Calgary. I even saw four robins yesterday!

Over the weekend, I did indeed plant my two calla lily bulbs and have set them out in their pot in by the sunny window in the kitchen nook. Chris later started some potted herbs so that the callas have company beside them on the kitchen table (guess I'll have to wait another year to have a herb spiral ...). Chris cut the lawn and even tossed some new grass seed out with the hopes of bulking it up this year. There are buds on the tulips and the ornamental onions, and the two hardy rose bushes are sprouting leaves. See? I'm not crazy for thinking that it was springtime!

On a related topic, Chris emailed me a link to this barbeque fact sheet yesterday. I must admit that we've never done anything to rehabilitate our barbeque for another season of use before, aside from removing the bird nests last year when we were still living in the apartment ...

Spoooky...I planted herbs and sprinkled some grass seed yesterday. Make sure to get some basil once the danger of frost passes (does it ever really?).

Calgary is sadly prone to late snowstorms these past few years. You guys get all the junk coming off the mountains.
