COVID 19 has still been dominating our lives and the news. Every day there are updates on the number of cases and deaths. The slow opening of beaches, parks and patios has been big news. We still have to do our social distancing. It seems that on some patios, people are moving from table to […]

Finally, flowers are blooming. The world is beginning to fill with colour again replacing the grey left behind by winter. I think the arrival of summer lifts our spirits after a long cold winter, and spring this year as well! As we drive around, we see the beautiful front yards that home owners present, not […]

I think that sweet little old ladies should be able to gripe occasionally. So here goes! If I hear one more person say that something is “to die for” (such ‘that apple pie is to die for’ or ‘that purple dress is to die for’) I think I will scream. Really? You would be willing […]

April was a very wet month here in Ontario. I hope that means there are going to be lots of flowers in May. The grass is turning green so there is a bit of colour, and when we add the early flowers to that the colours should brighten our spirits. There sure has been a […]
