Longing for Spring!

by Tricia

Well, as some of you know right now I’m having a blog party over at Tricia’s Musings to celebrate my first year of blogging. Yep, Tricia’s Musings is one year old!

I’m having a pseudo ICE garden party over there. Go have a look at the photos of the ice garden and the ice bar. MMMMM lots of chocolate over there too. Yum!Ok I know I can’t complain about our winter here at all. Others have had much worse, particularly people who usually have great winters … but winter has finally arrived as of this week. We’ve had snow, finally, and now very cold temperatures. Right now it’s -12 c (10.4 F). Brrrr!

So I’m jonesing for Spring. Here’s a flower, a tulip and other spring flowers, that I’m longing to see in just a few short months:

Red Tulip

I’ve noticed that only a portion of the Green Thumb Sunday members have been playing lately. I know that while I’ve been posting regularly I haven’t been visiting as often as I should. My reasons are that I’ve been too busy trying to raise money to keep the bills paid (I’m home sick with no income coming in so I’m doing paid posts to earn some money), and I’ve been very ill lately.

I am wondering why others aren’t playing though. Have you lost interest? Or is it just because it’s winter and you don’t have photos to post? Remember photos do not have to be current. They also don’t have to be of a garden or a plant. It could be a nice scene from nature, something outdoors … use your imagination.

I created this meme so that we could show off our creative talents and our gardens. A great bonus that we get from interacting with each other is that we get a boost in traffic, some extra links to our sites, and perhaps some regular visiters too.

I’m going to go through the list and people that haven’t played for at least two months or haven’t even updated thier site in the last month will probably be removed. I’ll leave messages if I’m considering removing you from the list.

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

Canadian Geese

by Tricia

Grab the Scavenger Hunt code.
Photo Theme. Join the blogroll. Visit participants.

This weeks theme is Wild

There are a lot of Canada Geese here in Toronto.

One of the best places to see them, and feed them if you’d like to is down in the Beach area. Ashbridges bay has boat docks and a nice little park with paths that wander along the shore line and you can see ducks, and geese and even the occasional swan in that area year round. Of course you have to be careful where you walk because geese uhm … poop a lot. I believe I heard a report that they go every 2 minutes!

This site isn’t official part of the Saturday Photo scavenger Hunt but I’ll applying to have this site added today. I may not be able to fit the theme in every week if it really doesn’t fit this blog but we’ll see how it goes. I should have done this earlier.

Save the Snowman

by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

Suicidal Snowman

hangedsnowman

This poor snowman. He’s so confused. He thought he’d never come to life this year since it’s been unseasonably warm and one of the key factors needed to bring him to life was absent. That’s right- there was no snow.

This past Monday the snowman was born, but there still isn’t all that much snow. Even worse there are no snow women. None at all!

Poor guy. He spent all of December and half of January just waiting to come to life and start a small snowman family, but without a Mrs. Snowman his dreams have been crushed.

Does anyone know of a mailorder snow woman agency? He needs love. Lets save him before he melts and hangs himself as he slids off th bench.
