APB: Spring Missing

It has been nearly two months now since the sun passed northward across the equator, marking the vernal equinox. Despite the fact that March 20th marked the first day of Spring, we have little to show for improvements in weather. Yes, the days are getting longer in terms of daylight. However, weeks of cloud cover and persistent rains have thwarted a great deal of outdoor enjoyment. And this coming Victoria Day long weekend is typically considered strong evidence of the coming of summer in another month. Hopefully the weather will change soon to allow for more outside activies, Until then, we still have lots of tasks to do inside Ulgedook Cottage.
