Pals! Because the spring rolls on, I prolonged the winter by visiting Banff. I’ve been very fortunate to journey throughout Canada and meet individuals and actually soak up how beautiful Canada is. I really like the East Coast (clearly!) and I regard it as a few of the most lovely pure surroundings on this planet, however there’s something in regards to the mountains that go away me breathless.
My daughter and I spent a few days wandering round Lake Louise and the Bow Valley.
This included a two-hour stroll in Johnston Canyon to see the frozen and defrosting falls. We borrowed some slip-on ice cleats from the lodge and made our approach.
Could is across the nook and it’s AAPI (Asian Pacific American Heritage) Month. Barbie has determined to honour probably the most spectacular and beloved athletes of East-Asian descent. I used to be delighted to see that figure-skating legend Kristi Yamaguchi has been made right into a doll. I keep in mind Yamaguchi’s skating, her smile and her sizzle on the ice. In the previous couple of years the record of Barbies I need is rising however I am thrilled to see the variety of girls athletes being commemorated this fashion.
Talking of fireplace on ice, the attendance ultimately week’s PWHL sport in Montreal’s Bell Centre towards Toronto did break the report as predicted. Greater than 21,000 followers had been current to look at these unbelievable groups face off with Toronto getting the OT winner because of Sarah Nurse.
I had seen a couple of reels and posts a few fantastic custom in Sweden the place individuals collect round farms and watch cows be launched from barns for the spring.
The spring cow launch known as kosläpp and sure, it is actual. The cows frolic and bounce with happiness as a result of being caught in a barn for a lot of chilly months just isn’t significantly joy-inducing. I discovered a blog-post from a lady who attended the celebration in 2017 and raved about it. The submit is a couple of years previous however the custom continues. A Swedish dairy producer named Arla promotes the occasion and asks individuals to register. Supporting the cows of their pleasure is actually one strategy to recognize happiness.
Pleasure Drop celebrates happiness however there are sometimes moments of unhappiness and we attempt to body these with gratitude and love. When legendary hockey announcer Bob Cole died on Wednesday at 90, the tributes got here pouring in.

Hockey journalist Chris Johnson’s tweeted actually resonated with me: “His voice will all the time be the soundtrack to the game in my thoughts.”
Once I consider hockey, I consider Cole’s voice describing the play and retaining Canadians on the sting of their seats by means of many video games and playoffs. The scuffles, the depth was all defined and provided up by Bob Cole. It is protected to say I realized a lot in regards to the sport listening to him.
He was an adored colleague and a pal to so many individuals. And his voice and his character shall be so missed.
I hope you frolic within the contemporary spring and listen to the voices you’re keen on a lot round you.
