The day started out with rainy, wet snow and fog. It was SO incredibly wet outside that I was kicking myself that I hadn't brought my Goretex coat instead of my down parka! But astonishingly while I was taking all the wet things out of my qamoutik to dry them the sun started break through slightly causing the black rocks around the cabin to steam with evaporating moisture.
We left for home just after lunch. It was a warm ride home with lots and lots of ptarmigan all around the trail! The smell of tundra moss and dirt was in the air at some spots where the snow had melted away making me think fondly of spring and upcoming goose hunting excursions that don't seem too far away now. The light has also changed significantly. As we rolled into town this afternoon, I could have sworn that it felt like 3 pm but it was already 5:30. The light has begun it's annual trickery!
My photo of the day is of Gary. (Yesterday's, Person of the day Manon's, boyfriend) He works at the school as a behaviour technician and as an all around helpful kind of guy. I love chatting with him when I am going to or leaving the school since his "office" is near the front doors. He always as interesting things to share. He's from somewhere in Gaspe originally, and has a wonderful sense of humour and attitude.
Theme song for today: Row, Row, Row your boat by ?? (It was stuck in my head, UNFORTUNATELY, and I ended up singing it over and over and over again while driving home today. Ugh!)
