Green Beans

October 14, 2007 by Tricia

Join Green Thumb Sunday

IMG_1601

I took this photo a couple of weeks ago.

The green pole beans that I grow in a large container at the back of the house were beginning to die down, but some of the beans were hanging nicely in front of my metal sun ornament so I decided to snap a few pictures and this was the result.

Do you grow green beans? I actually like eating them raw although I can’t do that very often with my stomach problems. (raw veggies kill me) Raw green beans taste great. If you haven’t tried them before you should.

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

Lets skip Winter and go right to Spring

October 13, 2007 by Tricia

Grab the Photo Hunt code.
Photo Theme. Visit participants.

This weeks theme is Smelly

Karlrosenfieldpeony10

I think it’s finally starting to cool down a bit here. I’m not a big fan of winter so I almost wish that we could just skip winter and move on to spring. At least then I’d be able to admire my lovely Karl Rosenfield peonies again.

These peonies have a delicate sweet scent. So yes, this flower counts for todays smelly Photo Hunter theme.

How many of you have dated someone you met online?

October 12, 2007 by Tricia

I was just thinking about two of my friends that I haven’t seen in a very long time. Funny that both of them now live on the other side of the country in Vancouver yet they don’t even know each other.

I was thinking about them in part because I haven’t seen either of them for quite a while and also because I was reading a story about the increase in online dating and how many people are having success with it and as it turns out both of my friends ended up meeting the men they eventually married through online dating sites or communities like Meet You Later. I’m not sure if that was the one, one of them used or not. Don’t quote me!

I think they are the only friends of mine that I know of who ended up marrying a person they met online, but I know several men and women who regularly meet others online and then in real life and begin dating.

I wonder … how many of you have met someone through the internet, not necessarily a dating service, and started dating or even married?

Again I need to find a non-ajax poll to use on this site. If anyone knows of a good one that doesn’t slow down site load I’d love to hear about it.

I think this winter is going to be a cold one!

October 11, 2007 by Tricia

I’m not looking forward to winter this year. I have a feeling it’s going to be a long cold winter.

Why? Well, last winter was very mild here for the most part. Yes it was very cold here and there, but we didn’t get much snow and it was above freezing quite often. Then the summer wasn’t too bad either. We had a cool June for some reason, but then July and August were fairly normal temperature wise.

When the weather is fairly reasonable through three seasons I know from experience that the next winter is usually pretty bad. Perhaps I should start packing now and look for some Orlando real estate so I can be in a nice warm area when it’s freezing here.

If you’ve never lived in a cold climate you probably have no idea how appealing that idea really is right now.

Actually considering that I’ve been working from home for much of the last two years I have thought of moving to another area with a better climate. If I can get my husband to work on his websites perhaps I can talk him into working from home too? Then we’d be all set to live anywhere as we’d both be free agents.

Do you ever think about moving to another country?

Shooting in Cleveland School

October 10, 2007 by Tricia

It seems that school shootings are becoming more and more common place. A sad fact indeed.

I’d like to say this kind of thing doesn’t happen here in Canada, but it seems to happen quite regularly here too.

It appears that a 14 year old male student has allegedly opened fire on his fellow classmates at Success Tech High School in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.

At this time it appears that four people have been wounded. Two of the wounded are said to be teachers.
