Were any of you affected by the Colorado low that came through my region (SW Ontario) all day Saturday and Sunday spewing freezing rain and ice pellets
"the likes of which we've never seen before?"
(Eek, who do I sound like?)
The upside, it you can call it that, is that I stuck a really good book in front of my face for hours and hours on end so I wouldn't have to look outside! My author of choice at the moment:
...if you haven't read any of her books you might be familiar with her main character: Inspector Lynley on PBS Masterpiece Mystery!
Other than a couple of very careful trips taking out garbage and recycling and throwing seeds to the poor birds and squirrels, I've been stuck inside.
BUT, I didn't fall on the ice and break my hip!! See, there's always a silver lining :)
Knowing that we were in for the "storm of the century" I headed to Kilally Meadows for a couple of hours on Friday before all
HELL broke loose! Things are "greening up" with signs of wild flowers to come:
 |
| Mystery Plant |
 |
| Moss |
 |
| Skunk Cabbage |

| Skunk Cabbage |
 |
| Marsh Marigold |

| Marsh Marigold |
If you look hard enough there are all sorts of treasures quietly growing...of course, after all the rain you might need a snorkel!
