May 1st Spring Celebrations

Mother Nature is one month late in pulling her April Fool’s joke and delivered a whopping punch to Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan today.

My sister-in-law, Sonia, sent these photos of the snow storm that pounded the area and shut down highways.

Two feet of snow on the driveway.

But wait, there’s more…

There's a barbeque under that snow.

Ironically, we were in Dauphin last weekend visiting my parents and we used that BBQ to cook great steaks while we enjoyed the spring weather.

At least our nephew, Blake, got some quality time with his Dad on the skid-steer today. (Don’t worry, Blake was only on the shut-down machine for the photo op. Safety first!)

Who needs a Tonka when you've got the real thing?

Oh well, I won’t tell my brother we’re enjoying the hot tub outside today.

Happy shovelling!
