They had swimming pools, elegant furniture, and cleaning ladies. One friend’s home had custom-made cobalt blue kitchen appliances. Those appliances made a lasting impression on me. I fantasized that when I grew up, I too, would have a pictureperfect home “just like out of a magazine.” Well, I never did get that perfect house. But I did get a magazine! I have found every home, big, little, new or old has a story (or two) to tell. This issue, Sudbury Living visits a beautiful home on Ramsey Lake, a country home in the city (See Page 14). It is really “just like out of a magazine.” The calendar says spring starts March 20 and continues to June 20. But when does spring start in Sudbury? I usually wear my winter coat and boots until late April. My spring coat comes out of the closet for a week or two, then it’s summer weather. Some women I know start wearing sandals or Crocs as soon as they put their boots away and continue to wear them until they need to wear boots again. At the 46th parallel, we experience a shorter period of spring weather than we do warm summer days and cold winter nights. Our spring is short but sweet. I hope the Spring Issue of Sudbury Living will help you make the most of this season of renewal. managing editOr Vicki Gilhula vgilhula@northernlife.ca Contributors Wendy Bird, Heather Campbell, David Ducharme, Judi Koski, Todd Robson, Heidi Ulrichsen Photographers James Hodgins, Marg Seregelyi art direCtOr Lynn Laird l.laird@northernlife.ca Graphic Designer Adam Grose Sudbury Living is published four times a year by Laurentian Media Magazines Group.
