There isn't too much wildlife around us ~ rabbits & such, although when you get out to the mountains there's tons of elk, deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goats etc.

And last week we had two coyote attacks on small children in city parks.  yikes.  One of which we frequent....

had a great weekend - cleaning out my flower beds, cheering my perennials on - they're growing so well - I'm terrified of what a blizzard would do to them - and you know we aren't done with the snow yet...

it was so warm last week here, then it got all cold and unpleasant again. there was supposed to be snow last night and today but there isn't any sign of it so far and it's gotten a bit warmer today.

and on that note: i've had some of the best conversations of my life with cab drivers. another reason for me tot ake cabs everywhere. that and the fact that public trasportation can be a pain in the goddamn ass.

Wish me well...

Why are you having freckles removed, Jen?

*more hugs*

*pours cup of tea*

I had a mole removed once - proved to be far more icky than I thought it would be. 

*hugs again ~ gingerly*

*hugs jen*

I know how you feel.  And I still have some babies at home.  Although there are days when I'd be willing to send them to you for a while....

Puppies are good, too.  I miss my dog.  That unconditional love is amazing.

:)  That is why I'm not letting my daughter aged past 8 years.  That's just how its going to be.

I know how my sister and I were as teenagers and I just shudder at the thought of having one in my home.   I'm scared.

yikes!  is it really that bad?  My dad told me that his theory is teenagers have to be awful - if kids were sweet and cute like mine are right now - forever then we'd never want to let them go.  If they are typical teenagers it helps with the letting go.

Don't know if he's right or not - my kids are still cute & sweet & I'm the centre of their world :)

I'm glad I don't have a teenage daughter. I don't think I could take it. It's hard enough with a teenage son.

G'maen, all. I lived through the night. I have three stitches. I dun know what they look like yet, though.

It's a lovely sunny day here. Nice temperature, decent wind level, all that. On the weekend our Farmer's Market starts up. I'm really looking forward to it. They close down a whole street once a week until October for this. All summer long they have live music in the evening. I love it muchly.

*waves hello*

*waves to flupi*

Snowy this morning ~ blech.

Yeah, market's are wonderful. I'm really excited about the opening this year. They close down several blocks for the opening and have all kinds of sales and events and fun stuff.

Calesta- Snowy? I can't believe it. I was sure it would be over for you. Ah, well, May is coming soon, then you can look forward to summer shortly afterward. I'm looking forward to fall. My son wants winter. He's come down with allergies for the first time ever. It nasty. I even have him home from school today. He can't seem to stop sneezing. I suppose I should find him some medicine.

My favorite farmers market was the one in Saskatoon ~ it was so much fun.  I also love the one in St Albert (suburb of Edmonton) but it doesn't start up 'til the first weekend in July.  Nothing's growing here yet....

I knew the snow wasn't finished with us.  I don't think it was enough to knock out any of my plants though (crossing my fingers).

:)  Its okay - I know its not going to last.

I don't like stitches.  *gives jen some advil*

Its so cold and wintry here today.  *sigh*  My hubby has an outdoor soccer coaching clinic tonight.  Glad its not me :)  I think I'll take the monkies to the nice warm library.
