March 13, 2026

The latter part of winter (I shan’t even presume to think about calling it the end. This is Manitoba, Canada, after all) has a beauty all its own.

The sun regains its strength, and vibrancy, and shares its warmth. The sky is a vivid cerulean. The trees are just starting to wake up (we can see a few new buds here and there). The snow is crunchy, so crunchy. And the ice below it is changing and showing forth. Best of all, the chickadees are changing their tune.

It is the promise of spring.

And it is amazing.

(Enjoy these photos from my most recent walk on the frozen river. I’m trying to get on it every day before we lose it to the thaw!)
