Here we are mid-April. It must be almost spring, right?
Yet, we had an inch and a half of snow on Sunday, and another flurry on Tuesday. Doesn’t the weatherman know it’s SPRING??
What is happening where you live? Leave me a comment and let me know.
Best, Sylvie
I went for a bike ride yesterday, for the first time this year. The rain had stopped, and although it wasn’t sunny, it was a nice day. And as I rode, I saw some signs of spring.
My Mom always called this bush spyria. When I moved back to the west coast, I got a book of plants of British Columbia, and although most folks call it ocean spray, Mom was right– spyria is the correct name. I shouldn’t be surprised. 🙂
What is happening in your neighbourhood? Any signs of spring yet? Drop me a line and let me know.
We have bald eagles around our land, and this winter, starting in December, a couple of eagles built a nest in a cottonwood tree just down from the house. Here it is, full of twigs and tree limbs. We kept seeing them flying past our house, carrying big branches in their claws, and followed them around until we found what they were doing. There is an eagle parked in the nest now, so we figure the eggs have been laid. That means they should hatch in 5 weeks, around the 12th of April. Very exciting. I’ll keep you posted. 🙂
This is the fourth book of the Lies He Told series, title is Game Plan. Here is the cover.
Investigator Randy Bonnar’s search for a missing husband uncovers a plot so thick even the cops can’t penetrate the secrets in this romantic thriller by bestselling author Sylvie Grayson.
Georgia knows she makes bad decisions. When she has a flat tire while riding her bike, Randy offers to help, but she doesn’t trust him. Then she seizes control of her future and hires him to follow her estranged husband, Howard. The facts he uncovers are devastating. Soon Howard’s greedy business partners are threatening action if she doesn’t stop the investigation, but as Randy digs deeper and uncovers more secrets, they lead in a direction she could never have imagined.
Randy understands his job—protect Georgia—even though it’s not clear who or what he’s protecting her from. Has the husband left a string of big gambling debts with a determined and violent collector on his trail, or are his nefarious business partners after his share of the investment profits?
When the truth is finally revealed, Randy and Georgia may not survive.

We had a big snowfall after Christmas that lasted several days and nearly snowed us in. One of our neighbours has just moved here and I haven’t even met him yet. But he plowed the whole road and cleared access, as the public plow usually fills in our road entrance and blocks us in.
Then a second neighbour very kindly plowed our long driveway as he cleared his own.
A third neighbour has a creek running through his land that empties into the ditch that parallels our road and drive. Here it is now, a gentle stream.
I was out for a walk the other day and this is what I observed.
