Tulips

Continuing the theme of bringing the spring indoors.

Caboose

Spotted this caboose idling in a siding near the north end.

Pink and White

The weather may feel like spring, but we haven't had much activity in the garden yet. Cut flowers help to bridge the gap.

Good Chew

Darby, in the yard earlier today, enjoying a good chew on a piece of wood, while I did some spring cleaning, i.e. poop patrol. Ah, the glamour! It's non-stop.

Pine Needles

It rained very heavily for most of the day and night yesterday, causing the patio to flood. When I took the dog out for a walk this afternoon, I found a thick carpet of pine needles by the back door. Can't wait for it to dry up, as I am itching to get ready for spring: clean the yard, wash the cars, plant some flowers.

Touch of snow

We had some more light snow overnight.

Wrapping

Park Cafe

We stopped here for breakfast this morning. It was awesome.

Winter's Return

A big storm blew in from Alberta. The winds were strong here but not as dangerous as they were in the south.

Strange Light

It's been windy all day; and when it finally cleared up at the end of the day, the light was odd and the river had a peculiar cast. Snow's predicted for part of the province, but we only have a moderate chance for rain.

Pea Soup

I made this from scratch using up the last of the Easter ham. It's a long slow process making pea soup. Should have started a bit earlier in the day.

Craft Macro

I'm knitting a bedspread for my niece's doll. Her birthday isn't until May, but it doesn't hurt to get a head start. I'm still working on things from last Christmas.

Emma

The snow has completely melted around the shore and its very boggy. I love the look of the reeds.


Darby can still move pretty fast for an old dog.

Custom

Love the old colours from the 50's and 60's. Spotted this truck in a parking lot in PA

Spring Thaw

While taking this shot, I spotted a pickup truck making a mad dash across the ice. As you can see, the ice is starting to melt near the shore. Madness!

Rain Clouds

A false promise

Row Houses in City Park

Spotted this morning on my way to meet a friend for coffee.

Delicious

Shot from current work in progress.

Carnation

A macro of the flower on my desk.

Daffs

It seems the only signs of spring to be found in town are indoors.

Court House

Fab Modernist Architecture

Master of the Backyard

Darby, surveying his kingdom aka the backyard.

Snow

It looked like it might start snowing this afternoon, but it stopped.

Alstromeria

Isa

My adorable goddaughter.

Lit

Madly busy trying to make cards, wrap gifts and get ready for the christening on Sunday.

Snowy Tarp

The weather has been all over the map: the temps were in the teens yesterday and now we have snow.

Earrings

A gift from two of my favourite people in the whole world.

Bean Roasted

En route to the avocat's office

Darby

He looks like he's got Batman ears here, circa Val Kilmer.

Canoe in Snow

A reminder that summer is waiting somewhere down the road.

Fungi

A truly amazing collection of fungi spotted while strolling down to the lake. It has been crazy warm and most of the skidoo paths have melted, and those still out ice fishing are wearing their shirt sleeves.

Random Dog

While walking Darby up at the lake today, this young pup joined us midway and followed us all the way home.

Floral Tribute

My brother sent this truly amazing bouquet. It weighs as much as a small child.

Horses

When I stopped this afternoon, they came right over. I wish I'd had some lumps of sugar to give them.
