March-ing towards Spring

March began to get mild, as it often does down in these parts....but then again, we never really did get the usual February "winter". We took advantage by walking at the provincial park more often than we might normally in early March.

We used the electric fireplace a little more, trying to avoid having to put more oil in the tank before winter's end. A local handyman started work on an extra support beam in our crawlspace. I fired up the burn barrel to get rid of some old papers, both ours and others'.

We also made a trip to London area for a late celebration of Jane's 50th - while we quietly celebrated at home on The Day itself, a few weeks later we undertook more expansive festivities with the Coxeses and extended family.....involving board games, BBQ, much music and much laughter!

How apropos!

Still a bit cool but no snow helps!


Many balloons matching many years

Luckily it was a short drive!

A rousing round of Viticulture
