Spring has almost sprung (I hope)

The weather continues to be abysmal but I looked out my bedroom window and spied a harbinger of spring. No, not the winter aconites with their yellow flowers pushing up through the snow but trucks moving stuff into the Courthouse Theatre, which is virtually in my backyard. I guess the Shaw Festival is just around the corner along with lots of new faces in the Valu-Mart as the actors, technicians, etc. take up temporary residence in town again - sort of like a flock of birds returning from a winter down south.
