Alright you Southern Gals, always bragging about how green things are and your flowers are in full bloom, now its my turn.  I went out today for my walk and decided to take my camera.  I want you to eat your hearts out when you see the natural beauty of my neighbourhood.........


Forsythia bush across the road:

and the very best photo of them all - my personal favourite to share with y/all


Yes ladies - that is S N O W lingering beside the 3 story parking garage at the Big Mall.  By mid-winter that snow is piled all the way to the top of this and over the edge - if you like snow - its pretty neat - for those of us that hate it - it takes this long to melt the darn stuff away........

Now stop telling me how pretty your gardens are - its freaking depressing!

Oh, Rusty, you're so funny!! I know you love the long winters or you wouldn't be living in CANADA!!! LOL!!! There is green on those bushes though and the snow is melting, so that should give you hope!


So, if it wasn't for the cold snowy weather and a DIL that needs an attitude adjustment, you're the happiest little Northern gal on the planet..right?!! LOL!! Oh, wait a minute, let's add the boss who needs to move to a different planet! Yea, take care of that problem too and you're one happy Northern gal!! LOL!!


By this time next month, it will be warmer..promise!! Hang in there lil' chickie!!
