It’s going to snow all week?

by

I just took a peak at my Weathernetwork icon on my desktop and discovered that it’s supposed to snow every single day this week. What the heck?

We went through November, December and half of January without any snow and all of a sudden it’s snowing every single day? Is it trying to make up for the dry spell or something?

Oh well. As I’ve said before, if it’s going to be freezing cold outside I’d rather that my garden plants have a nice layer of snow over them to give them a little bit of protection. Especially since I didn’t put down any leaves or extra protection on the beds this past autumn.

Anyone else having a week of snow?






Finally, a clothing line for the large busted woman

by

Judging from the responses that I get on this blog I must assume that a large number of my readers are women. Certainly the more vocal readers are women at the very least. So that’s why I decided to tell you about Eris Apparel and their new line of clothing.

Their new garment sizes are made specifically for the large busted woman. Fortunately or unfortunately this is not a problem that I have – mine is more the long leg, high-waisted, poor fitting garment problem.

I do however understand that large busted women may have a very difficult time finding blouses and jackets that fit properly. The shirts may fit in the arm, and shoulders and the overall size might be correct but the top is often too tight in the bust. Well, now you don’t have to worry about that. Not if you purchase some of the beautiful lines of clothing being introduced by Eris Apparel you won’t. They’ve designed clothing that will fit an average sized woman who just happens to also be large busted. Women with cup sizes of D to G will find this new line of clothing particularly helpful.

Visit the Eris Apparel website to see their whole line of clothing ranging from Blouses, bras, dresses and outwear plus many more items. I think you’ll be pleased with the quality and style of their selection.

It’s been snowing here on and off since Friday. Here’s a glimpse of what it looked like Friday evening:

January Snowstorm Toronto

When it gets this way outside, I remember some of the beautiful scenes of summer, like this:

I love this Dahlia photo. You know, I have these planted in my front boulevard and I didn’t take them out of the ground last fall.

Oh oh … they probably won’t make it. Oh that’s so sad. Well I have had Dahlias come up again in the past. It’s a risk. We’re Canadian zone 6b here, but USDA zone 5b. Dahlias are zone 6 or 7 I believe, but then we’ve had a mild winter up until the past two weeks so they might make it. I hope they will. I want to see these beauties again.
