now and then.

that was last week.

then, this happened.

plus twenty. twenty. degrees. celsius.

it's a mystery as to how this happened, really.

but all of manitoba was rejoicing, sans parkas & toques.

this province was nice place to be this weekend.

after five long months of ice, snow, and just plain cold,

i cannot tell you how good it felt to be kissed by the sun again.

even if only for a little while.

today, a sense of petrichor lingers in the air.

it's foggy and somewhat humid,

and the aroma keeps bringing me back to the lake.

and i'm on the rooftop, nestled under a pile of blankets.

just my camera, notebook, and thoughts.

chloe pops up every once in a while.

just to climb under the covers,

or steal my camera,

or make me laugh.

i'd like to stay up here until next weekend, please.

in typical canadian fashion, i must ask you about the weather in your neck of the woods.
