Some more stuff has been blooming in the garden. . . . . am I allowed to be all proud?
The next installment of pictures from my Garden.
Everything seems to be growing, so hopefully I have some more ‘blooming’ flowers soon.
More pictures to follow. . . . . .
I was out in the garden today, I put some soil out - ready to plant flowers next weekend.
Here are some pictures of what is already growing. . . .
Some teeny tiny Violets
Some large and lushious White Tulips
I have no idea what this plant is, its something planted last year, that I didn’t kill. Be impressed!!!! When I saw it at the nursury It reminded me of a pot plant, which amused me, therefore I had to have it.
These technically aren’t growing. . . . . .but anyways, here are two of the ‘tiki idols’ we got for our garden. They’ve been scaring the bloody mourning doves off though, which is a good thing.
Today Colin and I went to Reno Depot to look at lawn mowers. We need a new one.
I went to check out the plant section, and I came across a small little lone plant that looked very interesting.
I picked it up to look at the tag, it was a Venus Fly Trap. It was 4 dollars, so I had to have it.
I’ve been reading up on Venus Fly Traps, they are called ‘carnivorous’ or sometimes called insectivorous plants. They digest bugs. . . takes approximatly 10 days for the process.
Anyways. . . I’m going to take it to work, hopefully it will look menacing enough to get people to stay away from my desk. 
Montreal got hit with another blast of winter.
I had started an entry earlier that I was going to post tonight when I got home about my purple crocuses starting to bloom. I wanted to get a picture to post, and do a side by side from the earlier lightly snow covered buds I blogged about earlier here.
The drive home was dreadful, its like as soon as it melts (and subsequently comes back) everyone forgets how to drive in the snow. Tons of accidents, very slow roads.
I’m grumpy tonight.
Here are the pictures of flowers. . . . .flowers make me happier, even if they are covered in snow.

This year the gardens are up to me. I’ve been thinking about what I’d like to put into the garden, and I’ve been told I can’t just “plant” rocks.
I’d really like some suggestions. I need stuff that is hard to kill, and Ideally stuff that will grow back every year (meaning my gardening for years to come is trimming, weeding and watering only)
My garden has pretty much full day sunshine, and my favourite little flowers are violets.
Hellllllp.
