On a daytrip up north, the barn (and the cars inside!) are still snowed in. Any guesses how long the dirty snowpiles will take to disappear? But back in the city the sun rose in a fireball on the first day of Spring, giving notice of warmth to come --- some day!
On our street, emergency vehicles arrived like a flock of angels hoping to do a good deed. But then a Meter Maid arrived like the devil, spoiling somebody's move. And on THE prime corner in the Beach, a relic of the 1930's is about to be torn down to become yet another multi-million mansion. It reminds me of my grandparents' house in Windsor that looked soooo big.
The big event of the week was a bloom that has gone bust. The Canada Blooms show used to be full of spectacular displays that opened your eyes to colours and creativity in the garden. It was a stand-alone show 5 days long that packed in the crowds. Now it's a stretched 10 days tacked on to the National Home Show, and mostly a time for vendors to sell stuff. There's still whimsical floral notions and an overall theme (this year's was "Wild") but it's a long way between the Wolf In Wood to the Sheep In Rock.
Oh well, if it looks like spring (tulips!) and it sniffs like spring (hyacinths! mulch!) it must be Spring. Get out your Begonia Bikini?
