The remaining snow has the consistency of a Slurpee so it’s fading fast. This week we’ve seen our first robin, Canada geese are showing up in pairs, and we heard the first lawnmower. I saw my first gopher, chewing on a Tim Horton’s cup, and the first ladybug reminds us to wait a while before raking up the leaves. They say to wait until temperatures are 10C or above for seven consecutive days to keep ladybugs cozy and happy. And, it was time to fish out last year’s wasp nest from the wall to our walk-out deck. Luckily, no one was home. Happy Spring!
