The last few days have been crisp, cold, and clear. Jack Frost has magically touched the lawn, garden, nearby rooves (or roofs?). Take a look at these epimedium leaves, outlined in frosty crystals (click any image for a slightly closer view): I plan to leave the fairy house out for the Winter again. ...

After many rainy days, today was crisp and clear and beautiful. My landscape crew arrived in the morning, and by end of day we declared the garden project "done". I am very pleased with the result. It was definitely worth the wait. I told my daughter it would be a "secret garden", so she is disappoi ...

Today was a very good day for the garden project. The weather actually cooperated, it was overcast and only misty. My landscape crew showed up as promised. We made a LOT of visible progress today. First, to lay down the stones. My landscaper was very patient with my requests to wiggle this way and t ...

As the world rushes home, or off to soccer, or is walking the dog I am sitting here in a lovely breeze at my favourite cafe. Now I notice others are arriving, for an end of day pause. Turns out there is a French Class Monday, late afternoon. Quelle merveille! Before I go, here is stage one of my gar ...

It hailed this morning, just as I was saying good-bye to the kids at school at 9am. I had left the umbrella home, taking a chance with the overcast sky. So I was pelted by hail all the way home, which fortunately is only a couple of blocks. Happily, my landscaping crew still arrived later in the mor ...

This morning we had a short reprieve from the rain. There were actually mostly-blue skies when I walked the kids to school in the morning. But by noon it was heavily overcast, and by early evening, rain again. The forecast is not very comforting: However, I was very pleased to see my landscaping cre ...

This is a frustrating week for me. I have already waited patiently for over a year for my garden project to start. Seeing the beautiful clear weather this week, I phoned the landscaper, and found out that he is doing his "last" lawn cutting of the season for his clients this week, and will not be co ...

I was pleased on Wed to see my landscaping crew of 2 arrive at 10am, and resume my garden project. They were scheduled to come Thursday, but the weather was clear during the day on Wednesday, and it was expected to rain after that - which it did. When I returned from work on Wed, I saw that they had ...
