First day of spring was Friday. First Day of Spring MY ASS!! It has snowed three times since the "First Day of Spring." Here's an idea, how about we change the Canadian Calendar to actually reflect the Canadian Seasons. Spring means, Snow melting, grass turning green, leaves and and flowers growing, not 10 cm of snow falling and bitter cold.
By this time of the winter I have had it so much with the snow and the gray skies, that to think spring has started and then get snowfall, actually feels like a physical assault. Like being punched in the gut. WE should adjust the calendar so that spring starts in April, when it actually starts in most areas of the Country, not March. Our seasons shouldn't be reflective of some ancient Italian calendar, any more than our time zones are. Australia doesn't call our winter winter, because for them it's summer, so if we're still entrenched in Winter why are we calling it spring?
About Me
- Blaine Le Roy
- I live in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada with my partner of 10 years Darrell, and our two Labrador retrievers, Tiffy (Black Lab female), and Elton (Yellow Lab male). I am a 3d animator and Graphic artist, and Darrell does television video filming and editing. We have a house full of rare and exotic plants including a Cocoa tree that I had shipped from Florida. I love reading, have written my first novel (unpublished) and have plans for a second. I used to be a professional singer and now get my vocal kicks in musical theatre with the Saint John Theatre Company, Symphony New Brunswick, and Opera New Brunswick. I'm turning 36 in May 2007, and all in all have a pretty happy life.
