What a week it has been. It started off with an 11km hike on Tuesday with a nice day and a great walk in the surrounding neighbourhood and slowly deteriorated from there. Wednesday we had torrential rain and by Thursday it had changed to freezing rain. We awoke to everything covered in significant ice by Friday morning and shortly after that we were without power for the morning. By mid afternoon the temperature had risen enough for the ice to melt but the damage had been done. Many were without power and the tree damage was significant in the area. Saturday we went to Anna Mae's for lunch with the family and there were many trees down along the way. Hydro crews were busy working to repair broken hydro poles and the sound of the generators running in Millbank was prevalent. Today, I woke to the brightness of the sun and the sound of a robin singing. Lets hope this is the beginning of warmth and sunny days ahead.
