Seeing An End To February

What a crap-tastic month for weather February turned out to be this year.
Even here in Southern Ontario, where there are just not as many hardy folk as there are in my home province of Nova Scotia, we've been getting nailed almost every day with either frozen precipitation or deep cold.
...or maybe, now that I've been living here ten years, I've gotten soft, and am just not used to the kind of winters we'd get in Halifax.
In Halifax, EVERYthing blows over the peninsula (shaped kinda like a foot), and I remember lots and lots of freezing rain my last years there as a resident. Lots of snow acumulaton when I was a kid - but then - as I got older, deep-freeze Februarys and lots of freezing rain, sometimes so thick on your windshield it took forever to scrape it off. I've broken a couple of scrapers off of snow brushes in my day.
Today, however, is sunshine galore, with a promise in the forecast of more sun and temps above freezing tomorrow, too - so February just may go out like a lamb.
...and then there's March. We'll all hope for the best, and in the meantime, I'll present to you some recent shots of the sunshine of my life. These two pictures were taken by our daycare provider, Lianne, who is also a ray of sun in our lives, especially in the lives of these two most important people.
