Sorry about the Canucks, meggie.
(Preview)
I didn't watch last night's massacre, but was shocked to see they gave up 7 goals. Poor Bobby Lou (or "LaLongo" as my man Grapes Cherry calls him! LOL), he is taking a beating on the hockey message board that Sammie & I visit (HF Board in case you are familiar with it). I heard he was in tears...

Bleeping voles !!!!
(Preview)
The stupid bleeping voles devoured my entire clump of crocosmia this winter! There are only two individual plants that came up. It was a gorgeous, gorgeous clump. It is at the end of the day lily bed which is across the front of the property. It will be replaced. The garden center has my phone num...

The irises are starting to happen

The early bloomers are sending up their flower stalks now. Buds are begining to rise up out of the fans. This is like waiting for Christmas to happen. There's lots to do. Busy! Busy!

Rite of spring
(Preview)
It's time to consider hanging the spider plants in the sugar maples out front. Normally I wait until the trees are fully leafed so that the plants are shielded from any full blast of sun but it's going to be cloudy for the next few days. This morining, the first thing I did was go out on the deck to see the y...

So... what's the Swine Flu status in YOUR neck of the woods?

Here in the Toronto area, we have four confirmed cases. Friends of mine are supposed to be leaving for Mexico next week. As of early this afternoon, he was still scheduled to go. He tells me that he will at least return with unique tan lines on his face.... My dad was on a cruise that stopped in Cozumel. ...

It's HOT!
(Preview)
It's 91* in APRIL!!!!!!!!!!!! Today's projection is for 95! It's too hot to tend the irises which is unreal. I love hot, especially in July and August but this is just plain weird. Tomorrow we'll be back to normal upper 60's, lower 70's.

Patriot's Day
(Preview)
Some day I want to see all the Patriot's Day reenactment events. A friend here used to play one of the characters in that and I've heard so many wonderful stories about that. They go there the day before and spend the night because they get up before dawn to witness Paul Revere's ride.

Anybody read "Redeeming Love"?
(Preview)
I am currently in the process of reading "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers. I am a little more than halfway through it. It's an older book, so I know I'm late to the party, but I am really enjoying it thus far -- more than I expected. It is a modern retelling of the story of Hosea, who, in my hu...

Amanda, should I get the guest room ready for you? I just read that New Moon is filming very close to me and has created all sorts of buzz in the area. A story about some of the more fanatical fans was on the front page of the paper today. http://www.vancouversun.com/Entertainment/Twilight+obsessi...

The message posting is confusing. Posts go up everywhere. The same post can show up in different places, yet others don't. There seems to be all different kinds of places for posting. What controls which post shows up where, or not? Is there a way to get control of all this, or is it a case of under...

Twilight

Last night was the eve of the big Twilight-fest. Six 12 year olds drooling over Edward. Well, I will admit it... he's a very cute boy. I think I enjoyed the movie more because I've read the book and I'm not sure I would have felt the same had I not done so. Jacob is very cute too, much better than the last ti...

Today's photos of the Queen have her standing between the Obama's. Her height is barely over either of their shoulders. I've never seen her looking so short. How tall is Michelle Obama?

Ruffles, I hope you can get your head out of the paint can long enough to see this post! I was out cleaning up some of my yard and I was thinking of you. I believe you told me that the root of the iris should be exposed to sunlight, so I was out clearing away all the dead leaves and other plant matter that was co...

I will miss seeing our Trent, but it turns out, some of my friends are going down to Marco Island for the annual soap fest thing, and Trent is tentative...
