Spring Storms bring ? ? ?

Did you search anything on Google last week? After all of the very interesting Google doodles for the Olympics, the doodle for Holi 2018 fit right in - bright colourful and celebrating spring.

Holi is a Hindu spring festival celebrated all across India and Nepal and among Hindus in Bangladesh and Pakistan as well in countries with large Indian subcontinent diaspora populations, according to Wikipedia. 

Central Alberta was experiencing snow fall and icy conditions late last week. Albertans have survived one of the coldest February's on record. A couple of nicer days, but overall - the lowest temperatures in decades, according to The Weather Network.

The end of February and the first of March often signal the "dreaded tax time" as T4's must be sent to employee's and people are starting to collect their paper work for Revenue Canada. We still have until the end of April, but deadlines do sneak up on many of us - Yours truly included (and maybe especially!). My stack of projects always seems to have a couple of URGENT projects. This does often lead to many things getting completed.

As The Weather Network was predicting a severe storm including several centimeters of snow and blowing winds, with freezing road conditions, several of our customers stocked up and then hunkered down at home last weekend. Here's hoping you were able to get some of them completed.

One of our staff members is already planning her garden, seeds have been ordered, tools cleaned off and excitement is brimming. She was really excited about the snow over the weekend!! The snow is going to add moisture to the garden soil, and wake up the fruit trees. I have noticed the willow buds (commonly known as "pussy willows") are popping!! They were showing a month ago - they tease and retreat, and tease again.

We do know spring is coming, and there are lots of projects teasing our fingers before Spring does arrive.
