Spring on the Prairies
Comes like a surprise
One minute there's snow on the ground
The next there's sun in your eyes.
- Connie Kaldor lyrics
The shift between seasons (equinox and solstice) are days that Isabel has always acknowledged. This year is a particularly interesting one with the rare occurrence of the First Day of Spring and Easter falling during the same week. And a full moon, too!
This week included...
A sunny St. Patrick's Day afternoon....comfortable chairs in a south-facing solarium.....a surprise visit from 3 Abernethy Friends and their chauffeur.....muffins and cheese and hot tea for the guests who came carrying daffodils and Easter cards.....Mum was at her best in new spring clothes with left hand dancing across her letterboard for over two hours as news of home was exchanged.
On another day, Isabel took four other visitors ~ a three generation family ~ along for the ride when she headed out for a haircut at Wascana. Imagine this parade and Mum's nurse clearing the halls of Wascana as they made their way to the salon. We wonder if that salon will ever be the same!
Considering what the last 8 months have held....we are thankful that Mum creates a party anytime she is able!
Happy Spring! Happy Easter! New Life abounds!
