trees at beach

I feel bleak, cold, gray ….

Sorry. I haven’t posted for a few days because I’ve been very sick.

I’ve had fevers high enough to melt the little pads off my mouse (that make it glide easily) when I lie on my side on the couch looking at my laptop computer. Now that’s hot.

Just as I was about to start posting on Tuesday afternoon I looked at the stats for several of my sites and discovered that some very hypocritical elite bloggers had made a post about my gardening blog. My first post after my illness imposed blogging break was a rebuttal on my gardening blog against hypocritical bloggers.

So yes this old picture of trees in early spring that I took at Toronto’s beaches a few years ago reflects how I’m feeling right now.

Sad. Angry. frustrated. Bleak …





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.

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!

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!
