Join It’s beginning to get colder here in Toronto and soon .. the snow that falls will stay on the ground for days or a week at a time, or perhaps like last year it might stay for months! As I was just saying on my gardening blog, my plants have finally realized that winter [...]

If I’m feeling well enough tomorrow Chris and I were thinking about officially starting our holiday shopping. We still aren’t sure what kind of gifts we’re going to buy all the kids in the family!
