Here in Canada we moved our clocks forward one hour last night.

Will the loss of one hours sleep be worth the extra hour of daylight?

Oh yes it will especially after our extremely long, harsh winter and the extra daylight will bring hope of Spring's arrival and the addition of colour to our white landscape!

                      



This week is also what is known as "March Break" ... a week long break from school for the children.

This Grandma is excited to be able to spend some quality time with some of her grandchildren. 

Three special young fellows are coming to spend a couple of days while their parents go to the work and later in the week a possible visit from the granddaughters...and on the last weekend the other two young grandsons may visit.

It will be a busy week for this Grandma.

So I am ready ... pantry and refrigerator stocked with some of their favourite foods, bedrooms ready, some new crayons, pencils and books purchased plus I have some outdoor activities planned. 

Maybe a walk through some of the trails and parks that we walked in the Summer to see what they look like in Winter.




And we will hope for some sunny days and milder temperatures to coax the beauties that lie beneath the snow to come out and play!


Happy Sunday everyone!
