O, ye signs of spring

A damp, drizzly evening -- perfect for a walk.

And I wasn't the only one with such inclinations. While raccoons running though the streets is normal, I wasn't expecting to see a rabbit bounding drunkenly through the Ashbridges Bay park.

Not to mention being dogged by two separate skunks. One in the park (who required some finesse as it was insistent on maintaining a certain distance in front of me and my chum) and one on my street who was merrily trotting beside me until it suddenly ducked between two houses.

And the boardwalk was a busy place tonight, filled with lots of people who decided a late, drizzly walk after 1 am seemed an attractive option for them as well.

So spring must be on its way after all.

Finally.

Although I fully expect at least one unexpected and unwelcome dumping of snow. Bloody Canadian weather.
