where did the warm weather disappear to


ah ha!!! my Rhubarb plant survived the cold cold winter we had in Victoria. Not sure what the name of the plant at the rear centre is called but it's looking okay...
Started cleaning my deck ONE day when it was very warm...will wait for another warm day to continue.....
I think I'll do tomato plants etc. in the now empty flowerpots...

Conning me out of my armchair

Jackson said "Get Out"...I said "YOU want Grammer to move out of her chair?"
He said "Hmmmmm"...so I moved...then he scrambled up into my chair and cracked up laughing..I am so glad I had my camera close by... What a perfect picture!

Magnolia tree

I spotted this beautiful Magnolia tree in full bloom!


The tree is by ToysRUs on Blanchard St.











































































needle-felting bunny...

Tonight I took the needle felting class at KnottyByNatureFiberStore on Government St.
We had such a fun time...my 'accomplishment' is on the left of the picture...will try and make another one while it's fresh in my mind.
