These pictures are from our walk in the neighborhood this weekend. As you can see we can hardly say spring is here. And it's been pretty cool, dipping below the freezing point, so not much has changed. Oh yeah, it snowed this morning, just a little bit.
The spring salmon season is starting also, and Joe is itching to go fishing with his new rod. In fact, he has gone out a couple of times so far, but where he really wants to be is inaccessible: the harbor packed with ice. Still, last weekend he fished a river till he couldn't feel his fingers, and ice would form on the eyes of the rod. Brrrr. But this is totally normal this up north. This year what's NOT normal for us is that we know exactly when we can escape from the cold. In a month we'll be flying to Hawaii, whether spring is here or not. Currently our Japan room is our Hawaii room with almost all our summer clothes.
Eventually, spring shall come.
