A European Vacation

by

One of these days Chris and I are going to go on a European vacation. When we go I’d want to go to England, France, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. I’m sure that if we can take a long enough vacation I’d add a few other countries to my list too!

We won’t be going for a long time, but if you are, you might be looking for Hotels in Berlin or perhaps some beautiful Hotels in Vienna? Try cheaperthanhotels.co.uk where you’ll find discount hotel room rates and you can book them right online too.

If you go to Vienna you might enjoy going on a wine tasting tour, or if you are there for New Years you should attend the Imperial Ball.

Me? I’d go on some hiking tours. I’ve learned of a hiking tour called the 7 Resort Walk in the Austrian Alps and it sounds like a lot of fun. It’d also be great exercise too. Of course I’d have my cameras on hand as I’m sure the scenery would be absolutely amazing!

I’m sure some of the Hotels in Vienna are quite old as well so there’d probably be some lovely restored hotels to stay in as well. I enjoy visiting historic sites and buildings so it would be very interesting to stay in a hotel that had some history to it as well.

I know that several people that read this blog are from Europe. What kind of activities or locations should we visit when we go to Europe some time in the distant future?





Petunias still blooming away!

One last look at the lovely purple petunias before they start to die down as it cools here in Toronto.

Petunias are such and easy flower to grow. They look good in a hanging basket or planter on their own or combined with other flowers such as snapdragons, spikes, small hosta, and annual geraniums (Pelargonium).

I’ve found that butterflies, moths, and hummingbirds enjoy petunias as well.

BTW if you want to see a beautiful rose please visit my photoblog Breath of Life Photography.

Update – wow, I was dozing when I made this post. Two weeks later I finally realize I never gave it a title! Duh!

This summer my husband and I went to an outdoor art exhibit and the exhibit that I enjoyed the most was the one put on by a metal work artist.

This looks like a blue jay either guarding it’s nest or possibly landing or flying away from it’s nest. What do you think? I love that there’s actually eggs in the nest too.

All of the metal art work was made from recovered metal such as propane tanks and oil tanks.

Our basement is such a mess

by

I haven’t begun my Christmas shopping yet, but I am thinking about it.

Our basement is a mess! We have a lot of tools in the basement – among many other things. Our basement is a general storage area and isn’t used for anything but storage, washing and drying clothes, the toilet and showering.

My husband tries to keep the tools in order. There’s a work bench in the basement and he keeps the majority of our tools on or above it, but I think I might try to find a better form of tool storage if I can. Depending upon what I find and how pricey it is I could perhaps make a gift of a tool storage system one of Chris’ Christmas gifts.

It’s not like he needs a Christmas gift this year though … I mean we got him an HD video camera this summer. That should cover at least one birthday and Christmas I think! Me too. I don’t need anything. I got a really nice SLR camera this summer when we got Chris the video camera. I think we’re both good for a while.

But we could use something that would help us organize the basement. That would be practical, wouldn’t it?
