JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT
WINTER HAD LEFT

It's been so warm lately,
signs of Spring everywhere.
Thoughts had already turned
to gardens and seeds,
green lawns and tulips.

We put away our warm winter clothes,
our hats, our gloves.
Ol' Man Winter had finished his show.

Then . . . POW!
That's when nature lets you know
who's in control.

A heavy winter snow.
It caught us all off guard
(especially the weather man!)

MOVE YOUR CLOCKS AHEAD ONE HOUR
. . . UNLESS IT'S ILLEGAL!

Throughout most of the United States & Canada,
it's Daylight Savings Time.

We moved our clocks ahead one hour last night,
lost an hour of sleep,
but gained more daylight in the daytime.
(Confusing, I know.)

This is an idea proposed by Benjamin Franklin,
and still stirs controversy till this day.
Fact is, most of the world does NOT adopt the practice:
China, India, southeast Asia, most of Africa and South America
and the top half of Australia.

So, if you want to know what time it is, where you are,
just check your cell phone . . .
except, of course, if you've got an I-Phone.
(It seems I-Phone forgot to automatically
adjust the time for their customers,
at least in the U.S.)

Somehow we let our law makers and governments decide
what time it is, and when we change our clocks
and when we don't.

IT WAS A GRAND WEDDING

Amberley and Nick tied the knot
in grand fashion at St. Francis Xavier Church.

And then the party started . . .

It was beautiful from start to finish*.

(*and some may still be going!)

DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING . . .

Spectacular wedding this weekend,
totally traditional, with all the trimmings.
All about getting ready . . .

Grand cathedral . . . bridesmaids, groomsmen . . .
rehearsal ceremony, rehearsal dinner.
Places everyone!

Tomorrow's the "big event."
And I'm excited.

(I do love shooting weddings.
The more traditional, the better.)

TO BE CONTINUED . . .

ANY DAY NOW . . .

Spring is about to start its show,
Maybe in a day.
Daffodils, hyacinths and magnolias
Will certainly lead the way.

The show is about to begin!

(Hooray.)
