Spring in Canada

It's spring in Canada- we have had some days of lovely sunshine but there has been rain and thunderstorns too ( a friend introduced me to the saying'April showers and May blooms') and it has led my son and I to shake our heads at the variable weather here.I don't think we have been this affected by the changing temperatures,as being in Dubai for the last so many years,we had really hot temperatures and some not so hot.
Here in Canada though we are so aware of the weather,it dictates what we wear when we go out and yes, it does affect moods as well. For instance, it's raining outside as I write this and I do feel nice and romantic, maybe get myself a cup of tea(not converted to coffee as yet) and then relax with a book or watch TV or listen to some music...day before it was glorious sunshine and both my son and couldn't stop smiling at the lovely day.We noticed the birds who came out to explore the lawn, and watched the antics of the squirrel as it went about the yard and the trees.
I wonder if that happens to other people too...am so glad that we have the time and the opportunity here to observe the beauty of the changing seasons,and also grateful for the lovely days..it has taught us to count our blessings and not take everything for granted.
