Even though fall is my favorite, I have to admit spring is a close runner-up. I will not complain at all of my first winter in the east as I really don't think it deserves any negative attention. Also in consideration of the completely miserable winter I missed in the west. I can't believe I missed it and they received such continual horrible weather. I hear there are great signs of spring there now and shortly all will forget this random winter mess.
What I was getting to was that there are already crocuses springing up from the earth. I am amazed as they have been buried for several weeks under snow and ice and yet they are still green. I guess they are smart and knew the temperture was on the rise.
I can't wait to start planting some flowers and other things. There is a flower bed out front as well as a whole backyard and hooks for baskets. This is a first for me so I may cheat and buy some of the tiny flowers already in their growing process rather then starting from scratch as I would rather have colour then find out I did something wrong. Learn from what actually lived and thrived. The front yard is a heat trap and even on the coldest day feels like fire went you walk out the front door when the sun is shining. The backyard is shade most of the day.
I have overheard from his convo with his parents last night that we are going to Home depot this weekend!!!! Finally!! Not that it is far away, just waiting for the weather to mostly commit to spring.
On another note we went into Richmond Hill area (or Markham??) last weekend. It was fantastic and must be known as Asia GTA as there were endless Sushi, Chinese and my fav Vietnamese restaurants. I enjoyed a fantastic Vietnamese lunch which definitely contended with the place back home. I felt like I was home in Vancouver as driving down the streets there were reminiscent. It is the first time I have felt deeply aware that I miss home. I love being here and if the opportunity came to move back tomorrow I don't think I would want to go. To me it isn't the same thing, to miss it and to want to be there. Now going for a visit for sure!

I know the feeling. I absolutely love BC but I'm not sure if I would want to move at all right now. Even though the weather here is still boardering on disgusting. (Hopefully it'll be better this weekend :)
Oh and my hair cut worked out well, it's a cute cut and I love the colour. I send pics after this Saturday so you can get the full affect! :)
I am glad someone else can relate. I can not wait to see pics!! I can't believe it is tomorrow!
