Southern Ontario saw some pretty awful weather this past weekend. Right when the snow had all melted and everyone was ready for spring, winter hit in full force. Everything was closed all weekend and we were all trapped in our houses as we were pelted with record amounts of precipitation, mostly in the form of ice pellets and freezing rain. This morning we emerged from the shelter of our house, sick of hibernating to find a picture perfect January day... As an added present, the plow had left an impenetrable wall of chunks of ice at the end of our driveway. While Gus and I grumbled away and attempted to excavate the driveway with ice pics the kids saw possibility. The morning's lesson, when life gives you ice...make an ice fort.

Last week Gus and Ted deserted me, leaving me with our disgustingly late spring while they went to Florida for a conference. The day they left, Jose and I took the kids down to the infamous
tunnel to Tarabithia. I had noticed really cool icicles under the bridge. The kids had an awesome time with them, while Jose and I felt sorry for ourselves.

| Love Darwyn's expression. This is pretty much what I am feeling about ice at this point. |

| You can run to Florida, but you can't hide. We are coming to get you! |
 |
| Yum! |
