April Showers.....Week 30

April showers bring......hail, rain, snow and cold winds. Maybe this is what spring is like in Haida Gwaii.Those 5 days of sunshine teasing me with promises of what was to come, was just that, a tease.
    Last Sunday April 3rd was a typical weather day....for January. The squalls charged through bringing hail and even some snow. It was the type of day where I didn't even get out of my pajamas. Several pots of coffee were enjoyed in front of a roaring fire.... yes, I did say fire.
It felt damp and chilly, so having a fire was just the thing to warm the lodge up.


To think that just last week I was sitting here getting my first dose of vitamine D that didn't come out of a bottle.

                                            To me this picture really represents Haida Gwaii.

                                     What do you do when it's cold and raining out.......bake.

                                        There is something wrong with this picture.
                                         It's April 6th and there is fresh snow on the distance hills.


                                            Nice to see the sun glistening on the water.


                                      The sun finally comes out and with it the local wildlife.



                             Even "Fat Cat" manages to come out and enjoy the sights and sounds of spring.
                             This is his "happy face", really.



     9 p.m......   One of the greatest things about living this far north is the long hours of daylight.

Till next week from the "Outpost"
