The weather has been steadily in the above-freezing range for about a week. Cautiously, we ventured outside to be met with a wonderfully sunny day and a temperature of +8.
I relished the clean sidewalks and prayed that this wasn’t some sick twisted joke that Mother Nature is playing on us. I can see good ‘ol Mama Nature standing back, waiting for us to get accustomed to this lively weather, only to unleash her fury on us with the blizzard of the century and a temperature of -50. We are in Edmonton after all, and the only 100% guaranteed snow-free season we get here is the month of July.
…seriously, I know a guy who’s birthday is in August, and five seven years ago it snowed on his birthday.
Anyhow, I needed to buy a bus pass so thought that the girls would enjoy a trip out. We grabbed the train and headed to the library.
They had a blast. We hadn’t been there in a while, so they spent almost 2 hours playing with train sets, puzzles, colouring pictures and playing on the computer.
Oh yeah, we also grabbed some books. I limited their bounty to 3 books each. Since there’s a good chance that I’ll end up having to carry them in my back pack and my wheelchair doesn’t have it’s anti-tipper bars on well…you get the idea.
