what is it about colour that is so attracting?

It can brighten things up like nothing else.
A mood ; a room ; a season
It's snowed here over night and it's planning on snowing on and off all day
The 17th of April and we have white snow!
Very happy I picked up some cut flowers for the dinning room. To bring hope into our home . Hope of colour and warmth.

Right now we could do with a little of both

I'm back !!!!!


I know , I know it's been a bit....
I apologize for that

The list of excuses is long and pretty standard stuff; like time flys when your living it!
or next thing you know the week is the weekend! or there is the one where we lost our Internet provider .
Ya' that's the best one ... our Internet provider went belly up . Imagine in this day and age having no access to the world wide web!!!
Scary thought but true for several rural residents such as myself.
Rural takes on a whole new meaning when you come to realize what isolated truly means.

The web has become more important than first thought and certainly more so when you are 2 hours away from Zellers , or Walmart or Tim Horton's .
No; it's true but seriously;
several people out here make their leaving off this "information highway " and that is important to remember when big business make it their business to take rural for granted. We have a lot to offer and the world has a lot to learn about "rural" ... when you can get cell phone access in "third-world" country's but not in backyard Canada we ; fellow Canuks have ourselves a problem!!

So my rant is done and we will be back with more "fun" soon
but Until then .......... look both ways before crossing the highway
