I’ve got the “it’s getting cold out” blues

October 17, 2008 by Tricia

Brrrr it’s getting cool here in Toronto! I guess it won’t be all that long before we start to get some snow. Perhaps a month at most. I just hate the thought. I like the look of snow – especially when it’s falling and when it’s freshly carpeting the ground, but shoveling it is another story.

Chris and I have talked about taking another trip to Las Vegas. We went last year in November for a blogging convention, but if we do go this year it will be pure vacation. Things are a little different this time round – money wise that is. Last year around this time the Canadian dollar was higher than the US dollar. In fact, by the time we went to Vegas in early November it was worth 1.12 US. Now though, our dollars taken a plunge and it’s only worth about .84 cents US.

If we do go we’ll have to watch our spending. Maybe I’ll start looking for a hotel in las vegas that has very reasonable prices. That way we’ll have a little more fun money!

I’m still not sure if we’ll go on vacation or not (when I say vacation I mean more like a long weekend). If we don’t (say our dollar drops even more!) then maybe we’ll try to plan something nice for early in the new year. I’d love to go to the Caribbean – especially when it’s freezing here!

Have you thought of going on a vacation in the Fall, perhaps just to get away for a while before winter sets in?

Lovely Azure Monkshood

Monkshood Aconitum

My Monkshood has been blooming for about two weeks now.

I have one that blooms in June (the Bi-Color), but the Azure Monkshood blooms only in the Fall. I love their beautiful bloom blooms and wish I had more of them to fill the garden at this time of year. They are so delicate and pretty.

Starting to get back into a routine

October 9, 2008 by Tricia

Well … about a week ago I told you guys that I was going to change my whole routine -from how I sleep, to how I blog right down to getting some regular exercise.

So it’s only a week but I have made some progress. No major changes on the sleep front unfortunately, that’s still messed up, but I have gotten into a little better routine with my blogging and I pulled out the elliptical machine and started using it for 30 minutes each day. I do hope to build up to an hour or so of doing ellipticals each day or at least most days, but that will take some time.

Now if I can only get our dog Midnight to stop pretty much pulling me off my feet every time I take her outside we could start taking longer walks again. Earlier today she got excited when she saw a woman walking two dogs and at first she obeyed my command to sit and not bark, but I don’t know if one of the dogs made some kind of move when I wasn’t looking, but all of a sudden Midnight stood up and started running towards the other dogs with me dragging behind. The leash slide through my hand so fast that three of my fingers on my left hand still hurt. Boy was I mad at Midnight!

That’s what I’m dealing with on that front … but she’s pulling less and less each month so maybe walks with her can become part of my fitness routine again soon too. And of course, hopefully I start to sleep better again too.

Are you working on any goals to improve your health?

The love owls

Wordless Wednesday

the love birds

Funny how you rarely ever see an owl these days … yet these two sure found each other. Aren’t they cute? They look like true love birds, don’t they?

Flowers gone to seed

Last Monday my husband and I took our dog for a walk through one of Toronto’s large city parks and I came across some lovely wild flowers and I thought you might be interested in seeing them this Green Thumb Sunday.

I have no idea what kind of flower or rather flowers seed head this is.

It’s lovely though. If you click on the picture you’ll be able to see a larger version of this picture on Flickr …

The whole seed head is composed of tiny tiny components.

Someone on my photoblog, Breath of Life Photography, stated that it looked a bit like groups of tiny spiders. It’s not, but if you take a close look it does kind of look like that.

This on the other hand is a weed that’s gone to seed ..

The seed head spikes sit above a cluster of roundish green leaves. I have these growing in my lawn but they never get close to maturity like this one has. Again, I don’t know the name of this plant / weed, but it’s interesting even if it’s extremely common and wants to take over my grass!
