A few snowflakes this morning, but the ponds at the Technoparc were clear and the geese were cruising. Still, spring seems a long way off,,,

Saturday Photo: Another Kind of Sunshine
We had a total eclipse here this week--quite a show.
And today I have sunshine in the form of sunflowers in my kitchen. So nice to see these reflections of the Sun inside...
Very cheerful in this world full of far more somber things.

Saturday Photo: The Roman Empire for Today
For a project that has a lot ot do with what we remember, collectively, I'm been doing a lot of lateral thinking and Googling around and found that last year a whole lot of women asked a whole lot of men that question and recorded their answers on Tik Tok. https://youtu.be/FTHL9a3M_q4?si=u-aBVdB9wyHGxC2W
Their answers were amazing (to me, at least): very often, even two or three times a day!
Would love to know how often YOU think about the Roman Empire, FB buddies...
The photo, BTW, was taken at Conímbriga, Portugal, which was one of the farthest west of the Roman outposts on the continent.

Saturday Photo: Let's Celebrate All Holidays....
So Quebec and Canada are secular? Why then do we have national holidays on Good Friday and Easter Monday? Why not Eid Muburak or Passover? Or none at all?

Saturday Photo: End of Winter, Sad Rink
Visited some young friends this week. Their Dad had made a rink in their front yard which only got a little use this winter because it wasn't nearly as cold as it should be.
And this, it appears, is the end of the rink for this year. A little ice left, true, but you need rain boots instead of skatkes. The neighborhood squirrels have discovered it, too. I saw one perched on the edge, leaning over to get a drink one afternoon.

Saturday Photo: Snowdrops--Is This the New Normal?
This photo was taken in April 2008 when we still had snow on the ground. The snowdrops this year are already up--March 9!--and the snow cover is long gone.
I'm afraid this is the new normal... Climate change is upon us.
