Happy Anniversary Hatley

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

OK, the weather this week has been absolutely schizophrenic. Anyone living in the northeast knows what I am talking about… We went from the most glorious spring weekend, where Jasper, Jeremy and I spent the entire time outside on our bikes and getting our garden cleaned up and planted, to the most disgusting torrential SNOWSTORM on Tuesday. Adios herb garden I put my back out planting on Saturday, sayonara beautiful budding tulips, hello shovel and winter boots… (too bad we took the snow tires off so early this year. Oops!)  But now, it is beautiful out again. The snow is slowly melting, and it’s almost as if it never happened – and everyone in my garden has somehow managed to have survived the perfect storm, all but my poor basil :(

Aside from this bizarre weather, this week also marks the one year anniversary of Hatley’s big move to their new office/warehouse in Lasalle. After 8 years in the garment district in Montreal north, the Oldland boys said it was time for a change, and decided to pack up every last Moose one-piece and Alien footed coverall from the existing warehouse and head down to a beautiful spot in Lasalle, right by the water, between the Lachine Canal and the St. Lawrence River.

April Showers…

OK, OK, I know this is my fault… In my last post, I insisted in commenting on how beautiful the weather had been. I take full responsibility for the curse I must have put on Mother Nature, judging from the onslaught of rain we are now experiencing. Sadly, this is the April I am more accustomed to. The 30 degree day we had last weekend was totally abnormal, but oh, what a nice surprise!

Jasper, it turns out, doesn’t mind the rain nearly as much as his mum. Not much will keep this kid out of the park these days, not even a monsoon. He is now completely obsessed with his Hatley Creepy Bugs raincoat and boots, and though they are both way too big for him, he is constantly finding his way in to the closet to pull them out, and roaming through the house with a proud grin on his face. Even though he’s only 17 months, he sure knows how great it feels to look like a big kid!

Spring Has Sprung…

Well, according to my calendar, it is officially Spring! The snow is melting, the little green buds are starting to pop through the sad, ravaged-by-winter gardens, and the sun is certainly starting to poke out from behind the gray clouds of winter. Albeit there is still a biting wind that doesn’t let you forget that we are hardly out of the winter woods yet, but I will take it! There is nothing like a little sunshine to give you a new lease on life. We can only hope that we’ve seen the end of the snow, once and for all! Forgive me all you spring skiers out there… :)
