So much for the holiday

It's the Victoria Day long weekend, Canada's unofficial kickoff to summer. Our neighbours left town in droves on Friday to "open the cottage" ("The Cottage" = so Ontario) and start their seasonal outdoor pursuits in earnest. We celebrated by turning the heat back on in the house. Yep, it's BLOODY COLD here. Seriously, it's miserable: rain, wind, high temps in the low 50s. And the forecast calls for snowfall tonight. S-n-o-w-f-a-l-l. At least we're not stuck at some damn drafty cottage on an ice-cold lake.

Tom's parents are visiting right now. It's remarkable just how unlucky our guests have been in visiting just when a spell of bad weather hits. Oh well--Henry's having a great time with them.
