This past weekend it was time for the Matthew and Dawn Shire with their daughter Aurora to go down to Gravelbourg and be with Dawn's folks.

This selection of photos tells the story of the early signs of spring coming to Gravelbourg and Matthew and Aurora putting together a snow person. Aurora will be three in May.

As you can see from the pictures Gravelbourg did not get a generous amount of snow this winter and it appears to be already in the process of melting away as we see the horses on the family faarm.
