About two-three weeks ago, two of my neighbours took out their snowblowers to remove the snow from their backyards...
It was one of the first nice day of spring, nice enough that I could have opened the patio door... if it hadn't been so noisy :(
We have a while to go before the lawnmowers, thanks heaven!

I guess I could be in Colorado right now, with 30 inches of snow!

You mean there are worse places than Quebec for the weather?
I'll have to stop complaining :)
Here, it's not the snow now : it's the water. There are inundations(sp?) at the usual places in spring...

Glad to see you emerging from the snow!

YAY! You ARE still around! I've been missing you!

Shame on your neighbors for ruining your peace and quiet! I know! Send them and their lawnmowers down here to me! :D I got a huge yard they can cut to their hearts' content. >:)

Arrgh! I'm gonna have to get a lawnmower sometime soon. I haven't cut my grass in two years now, (since both my old lawnmowers got stolen! >:( ) I'd hate to make a habit of that.

If I could send you all the lawnmowers on our block, 'Retta, I would! Especially mine.
