I dropped Graham off at his mother’s for unpacking duties, came home, cooked myself a substantial brunch (sliced potato, onion, bacon bits, three eggs, sunny side up) and flopped onto the bed for a catch-up sleep.
Next thing I knew the phone was ringing at 16:00 and I was summoned back for the return trip.
Not a lot more to be said about the day other than it’s been all soft, hazy sun, and now clear black skies and gathering frost.
Still no wild flowers. I reckon they’re hanging back pending another cold snap and then they’ll all come out together. Which is just as well. I need daffodils and fruit blossom.

My daffodils are starting to peek up about an inch high. Of course we still have snow piles that are 2-3 feet high. I can’t wait until spring shows.
Only flowers I see are tiny rain flowers in the back yard.
The thermometer on our shed says 10C — above — which means we get meltage. Woo hoo! And people have spotted Canada geese and black crows returning from the south. Yee ha!! But our daffodils only appear in the local Co-op store for Easter ….
It’s supposed to 10C this weekend and approach it for the next week. That would be wonderful except that mow I’m worried that when my bees start venturing, they won’t find anything to eat.
Oh that breakfast sound lovely! Yummy! With a big cuppa coffee!
We have a thin coating of snow on our lawns, but the weekend is supposed to be sunny and warm. In fact, the ten degrees celsius that Kate of the North and Gord mentioned is just what our forecast calls for on Saturday and Sunday (except our forecast calls if fifty degrees fahrenheit).
Maybe Graham shredded them with his machines.
My gosh, your brunch sounds good! I’ll be glad when my stove is operational again. I’m reduced to crock-pot cuisine, which requires a bit of creativity. I’ve discovered that I can brown onions in butter if I turn my rice cooker up to “high.” That livens up the chow somewhat. I’ll try doing a sunny-side egg in it, now you’ve mentioned them.
