WTF ??

Romeo is a little confused as to why there is a tunnel in the backyard now that leads to the bird feeders. There is a good 4 feet of snow accumulated in the backyard now and the entire jungle is under a thick blanket of snow.

The Day after...

Yesterday we got hit with a huge winter storm, including an experience that I have never had before, thunder and lightning during the storm. We got a good 40 cm of blowing snow and to say the least, things are pretty snowed in.

Let's go sliding

Romeo was hesitant the first day, but had now been running around the yard and sliding in the snow like a little kid.

Winter Shminter

Angelina is less than thrilled with all this white stuff, and is cautiously making her way around the yard. Atleast it's really easy to find the monsters in the snow.

Brave New World

The boys are checking out the change in the yard as we got dumped on with a huge first snow storm of the season. Of course their first point of interest is the area around the bird feeders...

Feed the cat....

My sister sent me this video.... and who ever did this must have a cat as it is pretty much how Romeo tries to get us up each morning to be fed... more or less...

Inspirations- Flora Garden Festival

My favorite space -- the Pod Garden that is just too hip and cool (actually it looks very 1970s).

Some gardens were plant free but appealed to my inner child with their cartoon-like appearance.

Another cool use of recycled materials, it was like being on a trampoline.

This was a great use of recycled materials and loved the light effect the discs make on the ground.

It was great how they used both sides of the canal in the Old Port for the exposition, including some really cool floating gardens.

Some of the modern furniture mixed in was very interesting, and extremely comfortable. Looks nifty!

I love the artists that would give something unexpected like these beautiful stain glass windows that look like they have been there for years.
