I’m back from Vegas

by Tricia

Sorry for the lack of posts since Wednesday. I had planned to write regularly while I was in Vegas, but I barely had an internet connection in my hotel so I was unable to make any new posts!

That was such a drag! I was in Vegas for two blogging conventions and ended up with out internet access. How Ironic huh?

Well, I can tell you that the weather was much nicer in Las Vegas than it was here in Toronto while I was away! As our plane took off on Thursday afternoon I noticed what looked like snow flurries hitting the planes window! Ah it was snowing!

Last year you might remember that Vegas had snow in December, A few inches I believe, and we hadn’t even had snow here in Toronto by that time. Quite the change this year!

Las Vegas was a little warmer this past week than it normally is around this time in November. I’d say it averaged about 80 F during the day and low 70’s at night. Very comfortable temperatures since there was really no humidity to speak of at all.

I got home late last night or perhaps you might say early this morning and I already miss the Las Vegas weather. It was raining and cold and just plain gloomy looking outside today! Not inviting at all.

It won’t be long before the cold weather sets in, I’m sure of it.

We still had our patio table and chair set up outside so my husband tried to spend some time outside this afternoon in order to take them apart (they are metal and glass) and store them but he only got the job half done as it started to rain heavily.

Tomorrows supposed to be cool but mainly sunny. Perhaps we’ll get that patio furniture put away tomorrow and if I’m feeling up to it I’d better start working on putting the garden to bed for the winter too!

Have you finished all your autumn garden tasks yet? Is your garden all tucked in and ready for winter?

I’m back!

by Tricia

Sorry everyone. I’ve had both a busy and not so great week and I just couldn’t manage to get to this blog to make some posts.

As you know I post regularly and a gap this long has never happened before!

I’m back in business though. I’ll start getting more posts going on this site over the weekend. Naturally the next post will be a photo hunter post, but I’ll try to fill you in on the garden in other posts soon.

Take a look at my photoblog

by Tricia

I spent some time yesterday evening updating my photoblog.

The blog now has a new theme – really just an updated version of the theme I had been using, but it looks so much better! The link colors are orange instead of gray and the set up is a little bit different too.

If you visit Breath of Life you must take a look at the archives page. I love the way it loads with thumbnails of all of my photos. The other theme did that too but it took some time to load. This one seems to load very quickly and it’s wider so it’s much more appealing.

I usually save my best photos for my photoblog so if you like the photos that I use on this blog and on some of my other blogs you should really like the photos on the photoblog. The majority of the photos are plant and flower related – I know you’ll like them.
