spring: Less than 4 Weeks to Spring! - 03/03/16 01:35 AM
Whew! We made it into March!
(for some reason, even though I have saved the post 5X, over half of this blog is missing when I preview it. This is getting very annoying)
 
 
It's been raining like crazy & snowing at the higher elevations, so it's definitely spring weather!

spring: Spring Equinox; 4 weeks away! Any Plans? - 02/23/16 12:29 AM
Some people live in climates where there are no seasons.
Living in Canada, there are always seasons.
& I'm glad of it.

 
 
Every season has a beauty all it's own; from colourful fall foliage to sparkling winter snow & lazy summer dappled sunlight.

Spring is the time when Plans happen!
 
 
 
Whether garden plans, or yard designs, summer holidays, or renovations. Knowing … (6 comments)

spring: Saturday in the Yard, Spring visitors... - 04/30/11 06:40 AM
Saturday in the Yard, Spring visitors...
We have a pond that is 22' by 20' with a waterfall and 30' stream feeding into it. Girl made. Hand dug. Lost 5 lbs when I did. Now, although there needs to be some revamping because of things added and taken away in the yard, the birds don't seem to care, they love coming by for a bath or a drink.
My husband, the sweetheart that he is, heard me crabbing about my old camera, so went out and found me a new Nikon DX so I've been breaking it in!

It's hard to stay positive when you wake up to this for days in a row...
I guess I'm just ready for spring... I've been perusing my pix to see if there are any I can put in blog posts and there are so many nice spring & summer ones! 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 I felt I had to take this picture when I got up this morning, since it's snowing again...
 

Our deck in Edmonton faces the park in our cul-de-sac, so we have a lovely view year round. Even with snow, the trees look pretty, … (18 comments)
