Spring melt down
At the church parking lot on the Sunday after Easter.
At our pediatrician’s parking lot last Monday.
This one was taken last year. That’s the metal frame of a lawn chair that’s being uncovered as the snow slowly melts. Oh, you wouldn’t believe the things that get unearthed, or should I say, “unsnowed” around this time of the year.
This one was taken last year as well. Yes, that’s a ladies brassiere.
The first time I saw it was early in the morning. It was under frozen water. I couldn’t help but giggle. Later that afternoon, the ice has melted. I wanted to pick it up and throw it in the garbage. But I thought that it would be embarrassing if someone saw me pick it up. It’s not my size anyway. It’s way too big for me. 
I think it stayed there on the ground in front of the 7-11 Store for a few days. I wonder who finally got rid of it.
Let’s do The Twist
Every spring, our school division holds a Children’s Folk Dance Festival for all the Grade 1, 2 and 3 classes. This is an outdoor activity and the venue is usually at a nearby park.
The Festival was scheduled last Friday, with an alternate rain date of Tuesday next week. We’ve had a rainy and cold week, and fortunately it didn’t rain on Friday. I took an hour break from work and went to watch a little bit of the Dance Festival. It was cold at only 10 C and wind of around 30 NW. Most of the students and teachers were wearing their warm jackets and some even wore their hats and gloves. But the cold weather didn’t dampen their spirits. They danced all the dances that they have been learning and practicing the entire week. I only got to see Ryland do five dances: the Virginia Reel, the Macarena, Hands Up, Chicken Dance and The Twist, which I also danced. Click on the pictures to watch short video clips. And let’s see if you can spot me dancing The Twist.
Blast from the past
When I was in elementary school in the Philippines, we celebrated the Foundation Day of our school by performing different dances. This one is the Hawaiian Dance to the tune of Pearly Shells when I was in kindergarten.
Lilacs in bloom
I watched Martha last week and she talked about lilacs. I didn’t know that’s what these plants are called. I thought that lilacs are just “flowers.” They also come in shrubs and trees. Lilacs are blooming now here in Winnipeg. And it’s only now that I notice that there are quite a few of these plants in our neighbourhood. I also learned that they only bloom in the spring. These fragrant pretty purple and pink flowers will be gone by summer. So stop, smell and admire these flowers while they’re here.
