We thought it would never come but all things do end. Anyway, beautiful sunny winter days won’t be around for a while now. Spring is very nice but until all the snow has melted and the frost is out of the ground it’s messy and dirty. However, good spring rains will wash the dirt away […] It’s still cold and snowy but change will be coming soon. What’s that in Fahrenheit? Minus 16 Fahrenheit. That’s not so cold. What’s everybody yammering about? Well, most of the yammering is coming from the Toronto stations. What a bunch of whiners. They are too lah-di-dah for me sometimes. Well, look who’s talking.

Last night it was -20 C. That’s cold. We’re all in the same boat. We are all waiting anxiously for warmer weather. I hear the environmentalists are being quiet these days. It’s hard to sell “Global […] I’m crossing my fingers that whatever I sowed will survive until it’s time to plant out. The 4 o’clocks are big already. When I say big, I mean they needed transplanting in their own little pots. I am just now starting to save the single serving yogurt cups. Duh! They make perfect little pots for […] |
