Springtime in Alberta

When it's springtime in Alberta,

And the gentle breezes blow

About seventy miles an hour

And it's fifty-two below.

You can tell you're in Alberta

'cause the snow's up to your butt

And you take a breath of springtime air

And your nose holes both freeze shut.

The weather here is wonderful

So I guess I'll hang around

I could never leave Alberta

My feet are frozen to the ground!

Yes, this is the lovely weather I am looking at outside my windows today. Yikes!  In Calgary, we don't say "April showers bring May flowers".  It is April snow, and sometimes May snow, then June showers and the flowers don't really arrive until July.  Then, we have a good frost at the end of August, and gardening season is over.  Do you wonder why I quilt rather than garden?

I haven't decided what I'll work on, but I'm wandering down to my sewing room right now, and I should be able to keep myself entertained (and warm) for the afternoon.
