The last two days have been absolutely nasty. I can’t believe the drops in temperature when I was hiking in shorts and a tee-shirt in January! Some people have reported seeing snow, but I haven’t. It’s just been very blustery with a bit of rain.
The walk home tonight was brutal. I had needle-like slivers of rain slicing at my face while I walked into a wall of wind. It took me twice as long to claw my way home, and I arrived out of breath with tears streaming down my face from the exertion and burning lungs. And this after an absurdly busy shift. I am wiped!

Well, I’m back from checking out what made the noise. I found one of the empty garbage cans rolling around near the back of my car. That might not sound impressive to the average reader. But Croft and Norma will know that this means the can jumped from its enclosed perch and then rolled something like 20ft.

Whew, nothing’s broken. It’s scary out there!
Norma, your daffodils are coming up and were doing okay this afternoon, bent by the wind but not broken. I’ll assess the damage in the morning.
Yeah, daffodils in early March, then this. Crazy!
Wow, nice storm! One thing though, the driving rain will expose any more leaks in Miranda. If she can survive a Campbell River wind and driving rain storm she is good to go! Now if it would only stay dry long enough to tackle that leak.
As I put in my most recent posts, I’ve got a lot of work to do to make Miranda watertight, but it’s going to be a multi-day job. I’m going to have to wait till I get to Dawson this summer.
