things are starting to pop…

on my walk a few days ago, I spotted a batch of dandelions… according to a gardener I follow, that means we can start planting😉…

the trees are greening, the wild rose is coming alive and the lily of the valley is popping up…

and I can almost see the poppies getting taller as I watch, lol…

how blessed am I to have the opportunity to enjoy all of these signs of spring;-)…

two lovely signs of Spring today…

early this morning I was taking out the garbage and recycling… hadn’t been able to open the garbage container for a few weeks as it had frozen shut… happily it melted enough that I could finally open and fill it up…

as I was putting them out my neighbour came by and we had a short visit… it was warm enough for us to have a chat… he offered to bring them in once they were emptied… nice to connect with neighbours as the season improves…

and I was so excited later in the day when my BestCanvas picture arrived… it is a beautiful shot I’d taken at the Park of a lilac blossom and it looks amazing…

I’ve printed many of my photos and have a wall of my water lily shots, but it was rather energizing to have something on canvas… I feel like an artist, lol…

lilacs are one of my favourite flowers and another sign of Spring…

now, if the snow would stop coming, and the sun stay out longer, it really would be Spring…

been thinking of what a great day we had on Sunday…

this picture is an example of the fun that filled the day… the daddy was photobombing a picture…

it is quite wonderful when the stars align and everyone is happy and cooperative…

the sun shone and our group walked and ran and jumped… who knew how much fun you could have in a skate park without a skateboard, lol…

I was especially happy when we ended up at The Forks because I’d been wanting to have a photo with the Winnipeg sign…

when I was visiting my daughter in Ontario we went and had photos taken at a variety of signs… two different Ottawa ones and then at the Canada 150 sign… in Kingston, we took night shots and daytime ones, at the Kingston sign… over the summer I’d taken a few pics at the Canada 150 sign at Assiniboine Park…

so it really seemed important to get one here…

done…

was recently at a hospital and noticed these signs…

was thinking back to the various hospitals I’ve been at over the years… 

when George was in St. Boniface Hospital for his heart surgery we were able to use our cell phones in his room but not in the halls of that ward as the phones might affect pacemakers… 

a few years later, when I was there, I could have my phone in the room without a problem… was able to use my phone at HSC a few years back as well…

now there isn’t anything saying you can’t use your phone but they don’t want you to take pictures of others… what are people doing that the hospitals need to have these signs all over… yikes…

today people use their phones to keep family and friends informed about how the patient is doing, without having to leave them to find a spot inside or outside of the hospital where they are allowed to use their phones…

while I was there I found my way to a bathroom, made it outside, and back to the room without getting lost… I am notorious for not being able to find my way around in unfamiliar places, lol…

those big girl pants…

no time to walk on the treadmill this morning but I did get a nice picture of the Japanese Maple… the leaves are coming out in full force…

  
this is a real sign of spring…

the snow that keeps coming down isn’t the most difficult thing we’ve had to deal with lately… it is the grayness… the sun hasn’t been out very much over the last few weeks and that affects many of us…

have noticed that it occasionally comes out late in the afternoon… 

and so it did today… got this lovely shot of the orchids in the sunshine…

  
and this one…

  
just amazes me how happy a few minutes of sunlight can make me…
