Spring is in the air........maybe

The fact that we had record-breaking temperatures on Mother's Day, and this.........
 



  gives me hope that spring is here.....

With the North Atlantic Ocean lapping at our feet.....

We get to see a little fog pretty often.  I find it quite beautiful, as it rolls in.....

  
 


 I find it amazing that it can be so bright and sunny in one area, and just a kilometer 
or so away, the fog just seems to hover like an umbrella over another area.

It can roll in, and roll back out in minutes. 
It is so pretty when you are at a higher elevation and can see the landscape below 
and above the patch of fog.

Until today, as I was preparing this post, I did not know that an area of Newfoundland ranked
 #1 on the list of "Five Foggiest Places in North America"!  
That's right, click here to find out exactly what part of Newfoundland captured the title.  

Amazing stuff, that magical, mystical fog.

Cheers

It's April 27.....and another 15 cm of snow!!

After last Wednesday's record-breaking 49 cm of snow, most people are more 
than ready for winter to be over.   
But, alas!!! 
Look what we woke up to this morning.....


Another 15 cm of snow. 
Hubby had to blow out the driveway so I could drive to work.  
The conditions were so bad, practically everything in the city had a delayed opening.  
Even Metro Bus was pulled off the roads until 10 am! 
By the time I left for work, the skies were getting blue and it was almost 3 degrees Celsius.  



Barbecue, anyone??

Oh well, as they say here in Newfoundland....
"if you don't like the weather, wait a couple of hours" 

Temperature went up to 8 degrees.  
No wonder all the snow melted!!

I snapped this shot of the driveway when I got home from work around 5 pm........ 

Cheers

Fog rolling in to Flatrock

After the big storm on Wednesday, it's nice to see the sun again.

I went for a good long stroll this afternoon and took a few photos.  I drive by this little pond every time I go to the supermarket.........
I also thought you all would enjoy seeing how the fog was hovering just offshore today.....



The houses right along the shore did have to contend with fog all afternoon,  You can barely make out the homes on the hills.....
I feel very blessed to be living in such a beautiful place.

Cheers
