59/365 A Primula From My Girls

A Little Gardening

The primrose and the primula 

Are really very simula

But out in Wales 

The slugs and snails 

Make both of them look grimula

It's still on.

Post schoo visit with Grandma to Menchies along with a little Yahtzee and the staring game. Eva wins hands down every time. So serious!
Then a visit to the dollar store.

56/365 Complicated Fire Hydrant

This fire hydrant has garnered a lot of attention in the past two weeks. It is located just outside my office window and every day I watch various crews, trucks, front end loaders and tools working on it. Last week they were working in frigid minus 20 C temps - there is a lot of frozen water on the ground. This fire hydrant is shortly to become the only source of clean water for Aspen Ridge Phase 2 which has been without safe drinking and washing water since it was discovered early January that their water supply was contaminated. And apparently the problem won't be fixed until "spring". Somehow being told we can have free access to City facilities like the field house to shower would not be very consoling to me. It has been 2 months already and still 25 homes do not have safe water even for bathing.

We are thankful we are on the other side of this fire hydrant and continue to enjoy the luxury of safe drinking and washing water.

Saw this fellow on my walk today...

I haven't picked up the camera all day so today's 365 is a last minute abstract of the chandelier that hangs in the stairwell.

50/365 Winter

I was hoping to photograph some deer, or perhaps a coyote or even a bird, but the deer spotted me and bolted as did the prairie chicken, so an hours walk netted me this.

I like the simplicity of it.
