I'm not trying to rub it in to our friends on the prairies and plains. We know it has been a particularily cold winter thus far. Here however, the cold(ish) season is over. Spring is in the air. Trees are adding new growth, buds are forming and flowers are blooming. Javier was over and trimmed our grass, lemon tree and palm. He's a good gardener and very polite, always calling me "patron" or boss. Our neighbour gave us a grapefruit tree and we are going to plant it soon. It's hard not to be a good gardener in this climate. Back in Alberta, nobody starts planting gardens until the May long weekend and even then, we have seen it snow after that on a few occasions. We must admit we really enjoy the weather here. Today, we need to study for our Spanish mid-term exams at university after we come back from the market and the Christian book store.

Not fair!
It's -17C here (with the wind chill it feels like -28C).
And our groundhogs are all lying frightened in their burrows.
Spring is as far away from us as you are.
But you remain in our hearts and prayers.
Now I'm going to go turn up the heat.
Shalom.
