When
we got home, one of our jobs was to go through the mail. There
was an envelope from one of my friends with a sticker on the
back."Let it snow", it said I got a kick out of the
words she added, "but not here".
Don't have to worry about that I thought, It's the end of April!
Well,
this morning it's snowing! Terry gave a blow-by-blow
prediction of the coming snow with his weather app, so we knew it was
coming.
Yesterday
we drove 48 km to where Baby B [ our little travel trailer] is parked
[we can no longer park at the condo] just to drain the water out of
the lines. The temperatures were supposed to plummet to -8°
C or something like that, and he was taking no chances with frozen
lines. Been there, done that.
Today
at 9:00 am the snow is swirling outside. Predicted depth is 10
or more cm. As I looked out the window and turned on the gas
fireplace, I thought of an old hymn. At first it didn't seem to
make sense to me,
Fairest
Lord Jesus,
Ruler
of all nature....
I'd
always thought of the hymn as one extolling beautiful springtime
flowers and such.
Ruler
of all nature... Hmm... Yes, He rules all nature. For
some reason we have snow in Alberta at the end of April. Who
knows why. It makes no sense, but it's a fact. I'll just
have to go with the flow, and not let the weather define me. I
may not continue gardening today, but there are plenty of indoor
tasks that need attention.
Happy
Spring in Alberta!
