“A Bicycle Ride Around the World Begins with a Single Pedal Stroke” – Scott Stoll
First day of Spring and it is +4 degrees, the sun is out, a slight breeze blowing. Ralf is working and I went for a 5 km walk. The walk was lovely, I could hear the birds singing it feels like spring.
What a tease Mother Nature is, Sunday was lovely, Monday March 21st, it snowed! and the rest of the week the weather just got nastier each day. The forecast for Wednesday and Thursday was a “Winter Storm Watch” for Barrie and “Freezing Rain” for Toronto.
The freezing rain hit Barrie with a vengeance and our parking lot does not lot look like a winter wonderland, it looks like Jack Frost went insane. Trees and branches are down all over the property, so sad.
The tree on our patio has a thick layer of ice on its branches, you can see the buds encased in ice.

Thursday night the power went out and didn’t come back on until 1:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon!!
It was supposed to be in like a lion out like a lamb – it looks as though it is going to be in like a lion and out like a lion. Come on spring I want to ride my bike to work.
My first day at work will be April 4, fortunately I was not scheduled to work on Easter Sunday. Fortunate for the kids who attend the Easter Egg Hunt at Bradford
I prefer our spring. So far it has been real nice lows at night in the 30sF and today it is 64F. Yep, I’ll take my spring over yours. Riding tomorrow with a friend. Going out for about a 30 miler, depending on how he feels. He has been having some leg mussel problems, so we will just go with the flow. Hope it warms up soon for you.
I would take your spring over ours as well. Winter storm watch yesterday and temperatures of minus 8 today (Sunday)
