Westmount Park’s Lagoon
One of the truisms about living in a cold climate (including Westmount) is that the first signs of warmer weather involve preparations for the (much too short) summer season.

Westmount Park – Cold Mid-May
A (very) chilly mid-May – it tried to snow this morning! In fact, it was colder today than it was on Christmas Eve.
