I have a tradition of buying flowers whenever I have people stay with me. I guess it only started in Vancouver, when I first came here I was amazed by all the wonderful flowers sold by the small grocery stores. All the colours just left on the sidewalk - not seen so much in Regina. Yesterday I bought irises and today they are reminding me that I forgot about my love of the flowers for sale. They have become part of the background. Note to self: notice colour today.


My mother and sister are visiting this weekend. Boy am I excited!! A little guilty too because I know I won’t get much work done. At least it encouraged a massive clean up / laundry session. That and I’ll be able to talk to them about the move over the weekend - I am sure they will have some words of wisdom for me.
