Our indoor programmes finish this week at work and then spring break happens. Happily, this year, spring break coincides with Easter.I say make it Easter every year, but the Canadian government steadfastly refuses to comply with my demands, it's like they are deliberately ignoring me.
I have seen green frogs two days running now, but today, the temperature was a bit lower and there was no sign of the wee beasties again.
And today, the skunk arrived. We have been awaiting the skunk's arrival for two and a half years now - longer than I've been at the Park. The taxidermist was rather unwilling to stuff a skunk due to the difficulty of ridding it of its horrid, skunky smell. It seemed as though he was avoiding Kris every time she called him. But finally, de-stinked and perfectly posed, 'skunk rampant' or whatever, he or she is in our kitchen at work.
Thus far, I haven't yet seen a live skunk, which is fine by me quite frankly, given their stress-relieving habit of squirting foul-smelling liquid whenever they feel threatened. Skunks are related to weasels, and we all know that they go pop.
In work-related matters, I have to go back there this evening for the monthly board meeting. This interferes most annoyingly with my Rabbi-viewing plans, but, well, I should blame the Rabbi really, for not turning up the first time.

I had high hope after reading the title!
Oh! The Rabbi.
You have to turn up late and quote Talmud,
"Who forces time is pushed back by time; Who yields to time finds time on their hands."
I learned at my wee United Church last week that this is the first time Easter has been this early since 1915. The next time I believe is something like 2228.
Neato, I'm learning things, feeling spiritually comfortable, and sitting with a wee group of senior people, lesbians, gay men and a few straight people. Divine.
Sadly, no L Word people have shown up.
