SPRINGTIME AT MOM'S

My mother's backyard this past weekend was more lush than than you could imagine, given the prairie weather. It was so nice to go home and see everyone. I love wandering around back there and letting her show me all her growing seedlings and changing landscapes.

They have been eating fresh spinach and lettuce for the last two months thanks to their new home-made cold frames! Quite the feat when you consider it was still snowing infrequently up until a couple weeks ago.

All the many construction projects of the back yard are finally almost complete, which means this year they get to just sit back and watch it all grow.

NEW YEAR, BIG DREAMS

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I had a great (last minute) trip home to visit all my family and friends in Edmonton. After spending a week in the freezing cold that comes with the territory of winter on the prairies, I think I am more ready than ever for spring. Unfortunately it's still grey skies here in Vancouver, so for now I will just have to enjoy the Dace Spring 2010 preview:

And fantasize about spending the summer in Europe, where I would get good use out of these Fall 2009 outfits, which are conveniently now on sale:
