More Spring Cleaning
I didn’t get much done yesterday, so the spring cleaning jokes have spilled over to today. I hope you can see the humor in them. I gotta admit, that one spoke to me, even though the tree has been down since January. I buy this argument. My wife on the other hand… As tempting as […]
That Time of Year
It is teh middle of April and the last of the winter snow melted from my back yard on Friday. That must mean it is time for some Spring cleaning, both inside and out. Want to lend a hand? First, we have to decide where to start. Which is more important, the outside or inside? […]
Only In Canada
Woke up yesterday to falling snow. It is the end of April. In Germany by this time of year I was wearing shorts. Here it was hat and gloves. I guess the stereotype of Canada as a cold, snowy country is true. Meanwhile, Germany yesterday looked like this, according to a friend there:
Spring In Canada
I missed Winter. I’m not ashamed to admit it. Four years spent in southern Germany, with the annual snowfall was less than a centimetre (except for one glorious day in early 2021) had me missing winter. Even when it was -20 this January I was reveling in the cold and snow. Still, when I woke […]
Rubbing It In
My Canadian friends are reminding me that Winter is nowhere near over. I read news reports of record low temperatures in Texas. Weather seems to be a topic of conversation everywhere. Most of the time the comments aren’t complimentary. Not wanting to make anyone envious (or maybe I do), it appears Winter is over where […]
Take A Deep Breath….
I was going to post something about COVID-19 today. It is the hot topic after all. However, if you are like me you are probably getting sick of hearing about coronavirus. Tell me something new, don’t repeat the same information. But there is nothing new. The virus will spread. Most people will get it. The […]
More Signs of Spring
Walking through the vineyards yesterday and came across these trees in bloom. I should know what they are (crab-apple perhaps?) but my brain seems to be turning to mush these days. I hear it is still unseasonably cold in Canada. I’d feel guilty about enjoying the German sunshine if I was the sort of person […]
Signs of Spring
My friends in Canada keep posting pictures of snow on their Facebook pages. And with Spring about to begin, I heard the temperature there was -10 Celsius. So I have been reluctant to tell them there is no winter in Sulzburg. They had record snowfall, we had no snowfall. I have these very nice new […]
Spring Weather
I’ve been hearing about the weather in Canada; doesn’t sound like Spring is coming anytime soon. Is this when I start to feel guilty about living in Germany? I’m writing this Tuesday on my bus in to German class. I’m feeling decidedly unmotivated. Nothing wrong with the class, but it is 25 Celsius (that’s 77 […]
