3/19/12


Saturday morning we woke up and felt like brunch. So, at ten o'clock, we sent our friends a facebook message. By eleven, there was a crowd in the kitchen. We had a veritable feast of waffles and fresh fruit!

More friends kept coming and the temperature kept rising. I was very recently complaining about the snow, but it's all gone now! Not only that, we've also been experiencing unseasonably (worrisome?) warm temperatures of twenty degrees (sixties fahrenheit).

We brought our chairs outside and sat for hours in the sunshine. We drank iced tea, took an enneagram quiz (I'm a three, what are you?), and played football.

I still smile when I think about it.

    1. i think i have taken myers-briggs when i took a personality psych class a few years ago, but i can't remember the results. in any case, this enneagram test was a crazy spot on!

  5. Oh my gosh, are you serious? A few posts ago tons of snow, and now this spring-like view. I can't believe it. Someone should make the snow go away just like that here too! Great pictures, by the way! :)

  6. It's warmer in Winnipeg than in Vancouver?! It is worrisome, but I guess it should be enjoyed nevertheless.

  13. I agree with shirley, you do have great gatherings. I wish I had friends that dropped everything just to get together and enjoy the beautiful weather.

  14. Funnnn!!! All of my family and friends from Winnipeg keep bragging about how mild the temps have been all winter, they sure know how to make a girl jealous. I always move away the worst years

  15. It looks like a blast! Your photos capture the cheerfulness of the time so beautifully. Time with friends has that affect on me, too. :)

    ...and that particular journal entry was three years ago TO THE DAY. (march 19)

  18. Haii Janis! Woah you have tons of followers and awesome photo's! I wish I had a nicer lens for my cam, but alas I am poor. Yeah I've met Mike a couple times, I'm so jealous that he gets paid to photograph people! I need to build my portfolio, but I'm focusing on my jewellery business right now. I always try to do tons of different projects and end up not really doing any! :)

  24. I've found myself thinking of you a few times since it warmed up out there. Yesterday was TOO humid for me, haha. Today was better. You might be feeling the opposite?

    I just took the enneagram test and I'm a two (and am I ever, whoa).

    Hope you enjoy the coming week of warth.

  25. My Mumma is an enneagram enthusiast so I've done a million quizzes :) Thom and I also did the enneagram in our marriage prep talks with st Margaret's.

    Anyway, I am a seven. A huge huge seven. :)
    Have you read about how your type fits with mikes type? It was amazing how bang on that was.

    happy spring days.
