Getting Pretty Excited!

Ok, so there's two more days until we fly out to Ontario! Pretty exciting. We haven't even started packing...

It seems like the trees all just exploded into green in the past two days. Four days ago, I could look out my window and see nothing but gray trees with tiny yellow buds, everywhere. Now, all I see is green everywhere. I used to be able to see the ground and all the houses, now everything is green, in just two days. Is that abnormal? Or did I just not notice it all those other years? Ah well, it's wonderful! And the weather is great too! All of a sudden we're getting 30'C weather! (Or rain... but at least we're done with the snow for now.)

So, funny story, there's an old guy who lives in our building, he's got weird knees so he's in a wheelchair and he's always real cranky, even if you're friendly and cheerful to him. So anyways, I was walking along the sidewalk to our other building when I met him coming the other way from the grocery store. There was a shopping cart with two wheels on the sidewalk and it was a wide sidewalk so it's not like the shopping cart was in his way or anything, and he stopped and tried to knock the shopping cart off the sidewalk. It took him a lot of effort and he couldn't get it on the first couple tries, so finally he stuck his legs out and drove his wheel chair into the cart and knocked it over, then he just kept on his merry way. I thought that was funny. This is the same guy who, when we had a toilet back up and flood the hallway, complained that his newspaper had gotten soaked and we ended up having to buy him a new newspaper.
