Yesterday has been a wonderful day; blue skies, great sun and a temperature topping 62 degrees. After doing a lot of indoors and outdoors chores, Evelyne and I went for a four mile long walk, part on asphalt and part on snow (on a river bank trail where we normally run during the “good” season) and the effort of walking on snow and twisting our feet in all directions literally killed us. We had taken some light jackets but quickly had to remove them and here we were, walking on the snow in shirt sleeves! We already knew this wouldn’t last because today, the weather is going back to bad again, starting with rain in the morning and then turning to snow. The bottom line is that Monday’s idyllic spring weather will stay as a nice reminder that there is never such a thing as lasting springtime in the mountains!

Spring for… a couple of days!
