I have a very good friend and when he tells me what a great winter you've been having, I'm glad I'm not on Skype so he can't see me turning green with envy ;)<br />But yes daffodils, or any flowers for that matter, do help brighten things up. I'm afraid I'm not a very good gardener, although I did create a most fantastic patch of milkweed on the island to help feed the monarch butterflies. And although only a few of them came by last summer *sigh* I'm hoping for better this year...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-81605846345887817852015-03-15T08:25:52.611-04:002015-03-15T08:25:52.611-04:00hi Omar....you're right, that wasn't a ver...hi Omar....you're right, that wasn't a very good headline. I was tired. What I meant to say is that I am shocked by the fact that we were making such good if not perfect progress, and now we seem to be going backwards. It's incredibly distressing to me, and I only hope we can regain our sanity, so your beautiful child can be assured of a bright future. You know, I think I fight pretty hard, but if I had a child I'd fight even harder....<br /><br />P.S. So thank goodness I don't, because if I did I'd be too exhausted to get out of bed...;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-9921632286193640692015-03-15T08:21:09.642-04:002015-03-15T08:21:09.642-04:00hi Kathleen....Lordy.

I've never seen anything fouler and more disgraceful. If only for what they are doing now they deserve to be removed from office. As for Mulroney, he certainly had his flaws, but even he was more decent and more Canadian than Stephen Harper. And if I was a conservative I would be very upset with what he has done to that party...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-29433686541642939602015-03-15T00:41:41.539-04:002015-03-15T00:41:41.539-04:00As a homage to Elmer Fudd, let's change the &q...As a homage to Elmer Fudd, let's change the "Be Very Afraid Government" to the<br /><br />"Be Vewy Vewy Afwaid Government" 8-)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630890163958807048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-56735639796701991242015-03-14T17:17:10.935-04:002015-03-14T17:17:10.935-04:00Thank you for sharing!

Does Harper think he is James Bond or our chief spy master. He must have planned this fantasy world when he appointed this man to the ambassadorship. A bit off topic but you haven't touched on this subject yet. I have a half aboriginal grand child and he is very bright and I think he has to go to school in Vancouver or one of the more racially tolerant cities. On the west coast preferably. When his parents were thinking of taking jobs in rural Saskatchewan I was very unhappy but they realized it was not a wise thing to do.
