petunias and blue sky
This has been a pretty perfect weekend weather-wise – hello summer! Went grocery shopping yesterday before supper and everyone looked sun-kissed (or burnt!) and mellow and just content. We had what seemed like six months of winter (the sad part is that’s not a big exaggeration), we needed this summer weather. Now I have to…

Favourite Day of the Year
Yesterday, when the guy at the greenhouse asked me if I was happy with my purchases as I was leaving, I told him choosing my flowers was one of my favourite days of the year. I planted my flowers today, and enjoyed every minute of digging my hands in the soil, so it’s one of…

the lowly petunia
I used to think petunias were boring.

Soon
Spring will come soon, the snow will melt, puddles will dry up, trees will bud, tulips will emerge from the ground…. But c’mon, more snow? More cold? Soon can’t come soon enough! I need new pictures to post here instead of posting from deep within my photo library! Bleak grey skies and dirty snow don’t…

anxiously awaiting the colours of spring and summer
The sky is a brilliant blue today, and it’s a balmy -28 degrees (-38 with the windchill) and these Blue Rodeo lyrics (song is “Get Through To You”) are going through my head: Looks like winter’s never gonna leave this grey town I think it’s going to snow all summer Okay, I know winter will…
