Old Man Winter must be off on a bender. The snowbanks are gone. My thermometer is reading 26C in the shade and it's only 2PM. I had to close my windows a little while ago. I expect there will be flooding in some river valleys.

maeve... are your fruit trees budding?

I noticed in Sobeys this AM that only two bottles of Maple Slurpup were on the shelves. Usually, there would be close to 100 (various sizes). I wonder if Quebec maples will be affected. La Belle Province produces 4 times the amount that all other jurisdictions combined produce. That would hit a lot of Quebec(ers) hard.
