Glorious Morning Glory

This is a photo of a fading Morning Glory. I took this photo last Sunday in the late afternoon.

Morning glory vines are very vigorous. I’ve spent many years pulling tiny plants out of my back flower bed but each year some come up. This one escaped me until it grew enough to bloom.

The morning glory’s vine flowers bloom in the early morning – often at first light and by the time that the sun is full, perhaps 10 am or so, the flowers begin to die down and close. Each flower only lasts one day.

As I said I captured this one in the late afternoon as it was dying. It was still a beauty.

If you want to see a gorgeous rose pop on over to my photoblog Breath of Life.

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

I wonder if someone were to kiss this crowned frog if it would turn into Prince Charming?

This is another piece of metal artwork that my husband and I saw when we went to the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition in downtown Toronto during the summer.

The show was fantastic, but I enjoyed the metal art work the most.

I’d love to have this metal sculpture either in my garden or on our front porch to greet visitors.

Our neighbors house is for sale!

September 28, 2007 by Tricia

Chris should be home from work any minute so I just went to the door to unlock it for him and while I was there I peeked outside. Chris walks home from work since we only live about three blocks away from the Hospital. I didn’t see him, but I did see a For Sale sign on our karaoke neighbors lawn!

Yeah! Finally!

They must have had a ton of repairs to do before they could put their house up for sale. I heard sawing noises as late as yesterday and hammering etc as early as what? Mid- August or so?

I’m not certain it’s their best moving putting their house up for sale at this time of year. They have a teenage son and they say that they want to move close to the husbands work (which really isn’t all that far from here) so does that mean their son will have to change schools? I think he’s in grade nine or ten. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have wanted to change schools while in one of those grades. Poor kid.

Well, we’ll see how things go. If they do sell I hope we get better, quieter neighbors! If we don’t, well, that will just re-enforce the fact that the next home we buy will be detached!

DTIDATA Specializes in Hard Drive Recovery

September 28, 2007 by Tricia

I frequent quite a few forums and it’s not uncommon for me to read posts regularly about someones computer breaking down or how they got a virus and can’t boot their computer anymore or worst of all how they heard funny noises coming from their computer and then their hard drive suddenly failed.

Did you know that when you hear strange sounds or a clicking noise coming from your hard drive that it’s probably best to shut down your computer and not attempt any recovery attempts? You can end up causing more damage to your hard drive if you continue to run it when it’s in a degraded state. Doing this could make your data unrecoverable!

If you suspect that your hard drive isn’t working properly and could fail or know that it’s broken thats the time to get in touch with a hard drive repair specialist.

DTIDATA specializes in Hard Drive Recovery. Their staff of engineers keep themselves up to date on the latest technology related to hard drive data recovery. In fact, their R&D team is responsible for developing new recovery technology so you can rest assured that when you have your hard drive repaired by DTIDATA they are using the latest and likely best techniques available.

DTIDATA has a class 100 clean room that they use for all Hard Drive Recovery. This will help ensure that no dust or particles will get into your hard drive as they work on retrieving your data.

Once you send your hard drive to DTIDATA for Hard drive recovery and it’s received by the company they log it into their database and assign a case number. They then send you a message that includes your case number so that you can track your hard drives recovery.

One thing that I really like about this company is that they don’t charge any diagnostic fees. If they can’t recover data from your hard drive there’s no charge, in fact they don’t charge you at all unless they recover 100% of your data. That’s how confident they are in their service.

Hopefully your hard drive continues to work well for a long time to come, but if you ever do need to have your hard drive repaired or have the data recovered remember DTIDATA.

Yeah more money!

September 28, 2007 by Tricia

The strangest thing just happened. I got a paypal payment that said “Mass Payout” and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what company it was from for at least 15 minutes.

It was for a decent amount of money too.

I finally managed to figure out who it was from and sighed with relief. If I hadn’t of figured it out I would have been going through all the various affiliate companies websites looking at my account on each of them to try to figure out who had just paid me.

I guess the lesson here is that if you send money to someone from Paypal make sure it’s clearly marked who it’s from or what it’s for so that the recipient can thank you!
