He watched as I made a little hole for the bulbs and kept on lying there.
Finally I got the little job done and Geordie had jumped up onto "his" bench and suddenly the expression on his face was, "Pat, I see a squirrel!" but this look was a wee bit different. So I turned around and a long distance away, all I saw was a tail wagging and I said, "Oh, it's another dog!" And with that, Geordie ran so quickly to the wagging tail.
I then heard some little playful growls and I turned around to find two dogs having such a great time together, most of the time on their back legs alone trying to knock the other one over.
The other dog's owners walked over to find out where their buddy had gone and they called, "Hey, Geordie! Come on boy!" and both my Geordie and their Geordie ran to the other couple!
Well, did I laugh! And so did Geordie! See his smile? He met another "Geordie" and they had so much fun together while we visited my Geordie's master's resting place!
I'm gradually getting used to having an older teen staying with me but this weekend was so different. Two of her friends came over and they decided at about 10 pm to dye each other's hair! They were very careful with the dye and I only had to use a little bleach on my kitchen counter to erase the fuschia/hot pink colour from my beige counter!! I did find some purple on an old towel and some green somewhere else but on the whole, they did a great job cleaning up. I drew the line when they said, "Grandma, want yours done?"
I have a little shamrock plant that was bought by Jack the year before he passed away. I've never had any trouble getting it to bloom each year and I really like it as it's so different from my others that have only white blossoms.
This graceful arched bridge of reinforced concrete was built in 1914, replacing the original 1881 steel bridge, to plans by E. E. Clawson, City Engineer.
A unique feature of the riverscape and important pedestrian link to the city's commercial core.
I just wanted to say thanks for all the lovely posts in the last few days. They've been so encouraging. I haven't had time to turn around it seems so I'm way behind in my blog commenting and picture-taking. Hopefully now that spring is almost here, things will change.
Carol and I met down at LaSalle Park last week. The snow is so dirty where all of the water fowl are congregating and sometimes, it's tempting to try to clean up the snow for the photos! LOL
But here's Mr. Mallard, waiting for a mate. Actually, I do believe that his mate was very close by but not close enough for the photo.
We had a wonderful time and Anna's father and brother came along as well and actually Anna's father took this photo of Carol and I. Didn't he do a great job?
And there's Geordie, sitting in the back seat of the car wishing he could be out running and jumping in the icy frozen water of Lake Ontario! EEEEEEK!!!!

I have attended many concerts and special events in the wonderful auditorium of this old church. The pipe organ is magnificent.
Never saw a green carnation before but thought it would be nice for St. Patrick's Day!
Hope you've all had a great day!
...IF you point that at me one more time..
I thought that the grill was interesting...almost like a piece of art! Do you like it?
This vehicle is not old at all and as you can see it only has just over 83,000 km on it. That's a very low mileage for these vehicles.
Well, maybe another day, I'll get to ride in it.
Have you ever felt as if you'd like to ride in one of these large tractor trailers? I used to teach bus driving but this is a vehicle I wouldn't mind travelling in.
Yep! Two o'clock in the morning! Actually 2:10 am. No piccie! I'm sitting here yawning. I want to thank everyone who posted about the chocolate. I had plans for a pic for tonight but got so busy with other stuff on the website that I just can't do it tonight. I'm so far behind too in getting around to comment on all your blogs but I will get there!
Evidence is growing that chocolate is good for you
Chocolate may be better for your health than tea because it contains more of a chemical that could prevent cancer and heart disease, researchers have said.
Ohh, that's all I had to read! And I gobbled up a huge chocolate bar!
Last night as I was wanting to update both of my blogs, do you think I could? Each time I tried to, everything froze up! And I wanted to so badly as I knew I was going to be busy all day today doing important things elsewhere.
So...
I ate chocolate.
You might say that I indulged!
Tell me...
I was driving back from Barrie, Ontario after sunset this evening and as I drove over one hill, imagine my surprise at seeing over 40 windmills all busy turning slowing on the far distant horizon.
I stopped the car and made this photo of the scene. I never knew we had such a place!
(Please click to see the photo larger)
When I saw this sunset just out of town a wee bit, I couldn't help humming to myself the following hymn that is well known the world over and since it's Sunday, I thought I'd just post it for all who come in here.
Geordie didn't like the fact that Victor was in the cat carrying case but I wanted him to get used to the smell of our home and some of the things before letting him out into the living room.
Victor loved to be in Geordie's arms and the two of them got on so well together.
Then Victor got a urinary tract infection so bad that in a couple of days, he went downhill in his health so badly that I had that terrible decision to make. Geordie missed Victor so much. He moped around the house constantly looking for him.
That's when I got Lauren but it's just not the same relationship. Geordie tolerates Lauren and herds Lauren but he doesn't love her and cuddle with her like he did Victor.

Today I met Anna's mother and we had a lovely few hours at LaSalle Park on Lake Ontario. It wasn't too cold down there. The harbour is frozen and looking across to the Stelco Steel Plant, you could see that they were busy working.
We'll meet again soon. Had a wonderful day with your mother, your father and your brother, Alexander, Anna!

Last night during the big snow storm, I took this photo from my front door down my path. Ohhh, it needs to be dug but I'll wait till morning!

What a wonderful day I had on a day in December before Christmas! The above photo was taken that day looking west toward the city of Hamilton from a lovely park called LaSalle Park inside Hamilton Bay on Lake Ontario. It was so very cold but the friendship and fellowship of three individuals was warm!
Anna and her mother and I met on this very cold and chilly day to take photos together. What a great time we had! It was like we knew each other for a very long time. AB or AnnaBanana is an administrator on the Photography Cafe and is such a joy to work with.
Three Friends in a Tree!
The photo to the right was taken on January 2 on a lovely trip to Niagara Falls. Look at the lovely green grass!
Have you met folks you met on the internet and felt that you'd know each other forever? or for a very long time?
Maybe you've had a different experience though. I'm sure we all have to be careful.
Thanks Anna, for being that type of friend!
This photo was taken by Carol, Anna's lovely mother as Anna and I realized that we were really meeting at last.
As a result of knowing AB, Carol and I are now great friends and we plan many photo outings together in the near future.
