April in Edmonton

It is the middle of April in a city that seems to be stuck in winter. There is still snow on the ground. As an artist I appreciate the free time from other jobs to just paint. But I am looking at spring cleaning, not only in my house but all the projects that I started. One of my favourite efforts is to use my video camera to make a DVD of the photo albums. I can watch my childhood float by on the 52" High Definition T.V. My memories of my childhood are also enhanced by small drawings that I still have. These drawings were of wash hug on the washline, mermaids in the sea, donald duck and farmyards. My parents would take walks to the Castle Twickle in Delden, where we saw deer and swans. Holland is probably in full bloom today. Well, that was a lifetime ago. I started these nostalgia videos to entertain my mother who is in a care facility.
