Skye says don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers with your booper! Spring has finally arrived in the Canadian North and Skye’s yard is filled with beautiful blooms. 🌸💕

@Satori How beautiful! 😍🌸🌸🌸 You all must be so relieved that Winter has passed. 🐰💕🌸🌺🌼🪺🦋
@MartineBunny We truly are! And it looks like we are free of snow, hopefully until fall! 😊🌷
C.@cazabon @MartineBunny Yep 😆 It’s okay, my expectations are low, since July is the only guaranteed snow-free month 😂
Nope. Literally true. It snowed here in Regina on August 30 two years ago, and The Northern Pikes, from Saskatoon, called their album "Snow in June" for a reason...
But everyplace has "bad" weather in one way or another. I understand Scotland is frequently overcast and raining, and has really short days during the winter...
@cazabon @Satori Yes, that’s what it’s like here. The sky is often grey and It does rain an awful lot. But the most unusual thing about weather in Scotland is how quickly it changes. In one day you could have sun then rain then sun again then hail stones, then sun 😂 Always good to carry an umbrella here, even if you think it’s going to be sunny. But we definitely don’t get winters as cold as you do in Canada. The freezing temperatures you have in winter are astonishing. 🥶

the only people here who carry umbrellas are tourists - it's GoreTex or fleece for the natives, rain be darned

When my family moved to Saskatchewan from another place, I tried to use an umbrella once.
Once.
It's way too windy here for umbrellas. Mostly they'll turn inside-out the moment you open them, or be ripped from your hand - but even if not, the rain's coming down sideways, so you can't keep yourself dry regardless...
@cazabon @RainCityBunnies @MartineBunny Yes!!! Saskatchewan is windy. When we drove through and stopped in Moosomin for a Skye break and dropped our keys down the hole where the seats join the floor (sigh. Yes.) the car doors nearly blew right off. Regina was also quite windy, we found.

@Satori @cazabon @RainCityBunnies @MartineBunny Try Blow Me Down in Newfoundland. Seriously, it's real. And really windy. We had a Honda Civic at the time and I thought we'd get blown off the road.
@Byronrabbit @Satori @RainCityBunnies @MartineBunny
I believe you!
I'm going to get there one day, too. Only province I've not been to.
@cazabon @Satori @RainCityBunnies @MartineBunny It's a world unto itself. The language was a challenge. "Where ya be coming ta?" for "Where are you going?" So beautiful, in an isolated windswept way. L'Anse aux Meadows, worth the trip. Saw my 1st iceberg in Labrador. If you go, include St Pierre et Miquelon. Definitely worth seasickness 😀

Thank you! I'll put it on the list.
True Factoid: my step-grandfather was a machinist. In WWII, he went to Newfoundland - not part of Canada yet - to work in the shipyards, building naval and cargo ships for the war effort. And after the war was over, he got the standard decoration/award/whatever for "overseas service".
There's also a cute (Canadian) #movie set around the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, "Young Triffie". Very funny.
