Skate

I've been wanting to skate outdoors all winter but pond rinks have eluded me in Sarnia up until now. A small rectangle cleared on the pond at Canatera Park. 20 minutes in my old white lace-ups, just before the Olympic Opening Ceremonies in Vancouver started.

Thinking about planting

February and March are perfect for planning a spring plant; seed catalogues usually get mailed around this time of year. There was so much rain last summer that our balcony green dreams never really sprouted but maybe this year will be different.

Momentum

[imagine a great picture here]

I plowed through January despite a run-in with a nasty cold, I turned one year older (and set a laundry list of goals) and I surprised myself with almost daily updates to this electronic space. But February arrived last week and I find myself flopping around. I need to refocus the momentum and celebrate the beauty and the valley. Maybe I'll find some mojo on the hills of Mount Holly this weekend.

Colour of sunshine

Yellow birthday flowers glow on a day when it hasn't stopped snowing since yesterday at 4:00 p.m. Delivered by My Secret Garden. Thanks Dad!
