Last day of rain

Flower in the gardens of Versailles, ParisFlower in the gardens of Versailles, Paris Great days lie ahead of us! April 30 marks a wonderful turning point in this and every year of our life. For some, it’s the personal tax return deadline in Canada, but for others, it is the last day of rain until the fall. And let me tell you, the end of April showers here in Oxford will not be mourned. The last few days have been dreary – not enough rain to fire up some good thunderstorm music like Die Walküre (Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries), but just enough rain to make leaving the house an unpleasant task. The arrival of May flowers (and, I guess, the end of tax season) will be welcome.

Yup, Vancouver too. Although hopefully we get a bit so as to avoid the unpleasantness of having the whole province being on fire, like it was last year…

I’m getting $700 back in taxes.. less than I’d hoped for but still not too shabby!
