Saturday morning was a shock. It shouldn't have been, as I saw the snow fall on Friday. It was cold and the bird bath had ice on top of it. I put the heater back in, although we are supposed to go up to 11 C.
Snow (2 cm) and 25 mm rain. We should have double-digits for the rest of the week. I'll put the fishies out!
Lots of rain and the deer were enjoying the grass.

The day dawned and it was pretty, with the hope dawn brings.
Off I went off to fetch the trailcam cards. The tulips weren't too bad. The daffodils fell over in disgust.
Lenten Rose wasn't happy, though.
My buddy, Cinnamon, waiting for me to go walkies.
The grasses are growing. The ducks stay at the far end, hiding from us.
Cinnamon was so happy, he flung himself up the tree.
That's not bad, with the sun on his face!
I love this part of the forest. It looks like a path.
The robins are nesting, one had nesting materials in its mouth. I cropped it, but it is difficult to see.
I'm thinking a green heron! I've never seen one on the pond. This is a screen capture from the video.
I could hear and see the Canada geese circling around the wetland honking away. I don't know if they were looking for someone to land. The crows were hanging around us, too. They are worried about Cinnamon, methinks.

I'll just put this there. We're going to get through this.
After the girls left Friday, I watched a delightful movie, Chasing Waterfalls (2021), filmed in Maple Ridge, and Squamish, Pinestone Lake Lodge, B.C. There was a lot of variety in terms of casting of BIPOC actors. It was cute. I drool over the scenery.
