We had more than six months of long cold winter, about a week of spring, and now it's summer! It was 29C (84F) this afternoon. No complaints from anyone around here, no siree. It's lovely to wear shorts again. Even in the heat, there is one persistent snow bank in the park across from our back lane. It's on the northern side of a slope so it doesn't get the direct sun for long. I imagine that there will be snow banks in the rural shelterbelts for a few more weeks.
Our sweet Berlyn turned five months old on the weekend. She is adorable and inquisitive and finally giving her parents a break by sleeping through the night. Here she is in her jumperoo.
I had to use the flash to get a clear picture because she was jumping gleefully and with much energy!
Dan had shoulder surgery last week and seems to be healing nicely. Being one-handed hasn't been much of a problem for him because he has been glued to the TV watching hockey play-offs.
Finally, welcome back to earth Chris Hadfield! You did Canada proud!
