Are You Ready For Spring?


I sure am!!! ðŸŒ·ðŸŒ·ðŸŒ·

This winter here in Northern Alberta has been long (already), very cold (even for the Prairies) and with LOTS of snow. I love all four seasons, including winter but I am so ready to see the warmer weather, flowers and clear skies return.

Hope you enjoy this photo and haiku from my Haiku Reflections poetry series.

SPRING: BRING IT ON!!!

Spring Is On the Way!!!

 

I haven't posted anything here for a long time. Thought a pretty spring photo and haiku would be a nice update choice today. 


It has been a warm March here in Northern Alberta, to date. Hopefully some much needed snow or rain is on the way. 


Happy Spring and  Lucky St. Paddy's Day too.

Spring Fever Has Hit (Early!!!)




Happy (Almost) Spring!
    
How's your weather been?

Here on Vancouver Island, it's been mild but lots of rainy, dark days. 

I am so ready for spring, even though it's not even February yet. 

How about you? Has spring fever hit???

Hope you have a wonderful week. 😀

Down & Dirty by Ellen Zachos (a gardening book!)





Down and Dirty by Ellen Zachos

                                                                                                                                      
With gardening season just around the corner, this wonderful book by talented author and gardener: Ellen Zachos, came to mind today. 

I am definitely a novice gardener, but I   the idea of being a lot more skilled at this oh so popular hobby.

Yes, I've had my patches of potatoes, the occasional perfect tomato, some pretty flower beds... over the years.  But as for a true "green thumb" mine definitely ain't!! 

 This particular gardening book appealed to me so much. Not just because it is so visually beautiful but mainly due to it giving the "gardening challenged" like me, the hope of actually creating a beautiful and unique garden. All of the numerous garden theme projects in this book provide a welcome creative challenge; but most of all, look like lots of fun too.

You can read my full book review here that I wrote a few years ago. 

No matter what kind of gardener you are, novice, expert or somewhere in between, I think you will   this book!!! 





PS: I noted this collage in my photo archives when I was putting together this post. One that I created a few years ago. Thought it went well with the theme of this post too.

Spring flowers can't be too far away,  now that we are on Vancouver Island.  The spring season comes even earlier here, compared to other parts of BC. ;-)
