Snow in May... Are YOU Kidding Me?

Snow in May.... I guess I shouldn't be shocked, because I have seen snow in every month. That's the joy of being an Albertan. "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute!" But seriously, who isn't sick of the white stuff? I thought I'd be regretting a trip we have planned to Palm Springs over the May long weekend. I thought that maybe our own Calgary weather might be beautiful by now... Well, I won't hold my breath. I have made some brave attempts to do yard work but they fail. As soon as I have the patio table wiped off and the seedling plants I am growing outside, the wind comes up, the sun goes away and BAM!.... It's winter again!! I know all the tricks to bring on BAD weather (wash your car, step on a spider, etc.) but I need to learn the tricks to bring on the good weather. (Maybe plan a ski trip or an Olympic event!?) I think the snowman in my picture better watch his back... I'm about ready to get out my hairdryer! xox Carla
