But it rains all winter there! I gave up on that after 15 years of it, I'll take the cold if it means sunny skies. Although by March I'll be rethinking that statement ;-)<BR/><BR/>Oh, it's March.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I really should take some photos of the neighbourhood yards, I'll see if I have some old ones, but I have a feeling I don't.Zabethahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707695353117499996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002602.post-70059163507510312182009-03-01T06:16:00.000-08:002009-03-01T06:16:00.000-08:00Pictures?

I suppose one must wait till spring though...<BR/><BR/>Speaking of pictures, I've been watching the Toronto weather via 'a daily dose of imagery'. The photos make you appreciate 40 degree weather!Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10446337419977796973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002602.post-86915045199387724642009-03-01T05:39:00.000-08:002009-03-01T05:39:00.000-08:00Here in the frigid north (:-) of Toronto, we have ...Here in the frigid north (:-) of Toronto, we have lots of sun and minus a million degrees, but no rain, lucky you.<BR/><BR/>In my neighbourhood, the Portuguese part of town, front yards are tiny and some of them are actually miniature lawns of carefully tended grass. The rest are a glorious mix of vegetable gardens, flowers, religious statuary (what can I say, it's a Portuguese thing), parked bicycles, garbage and recycling bins, shrubbery and raked gravel or patio stones, and even just plain weeds (definitely not a Portuguese thing). It makes for wonderful evening walks enjoying the variety of sights from one yard to the next. Even the little clipped lawns look nice, as a novel contrast.Zabethahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707695353117499996noreply@blogger.com
