spring flowers and good food

[Sheilajeanne]

Soo, it rained heavily last night, and currently the temperature is 10 C/50 F!

We have both a rainfall advisory, due to all the rain and melting, and a fog advisory. Last time we got significant fog, there was a huge pileup on the 401 east of Toronto.  Be careful out there!

Yesterday the township was cleaning out the catch basins in town to prepare for this. 

Very happy to have some springlike temperatures, though I may want to invest in a pair of rubber boots!

A pal just dropped off some gear that I will deliver to her a few days in to her trip.

She is doing a xski trip, following an ancient trail. She will haul a toboggan, and has 45 days to make over 700km. 

I don't know all the details, but there is a local filmographer raising funds to support more coverage. I am going to go to Frank Channel bridge to drop her supplies and take any excess gear. 

She is following a traditional route called the Idaa Trail, and has a special interest in local indigenous history and culture. I, on the other hand, am simply impressed with the planning and committment. Which, when you think about it, was the impressive part of the traditional users, too.
