“Every time I see an adult on a bicycle I no longer despair for the human race” – H.G. Wells

We had about 6 inches of snow on Sunday night. Where is spring, when can I get my bike out? Dick commented that he was glad that he was enjoying his winter in Ohio rather than ours in Barrie. Be very careful Dick, we might head south and move in with you until spring arrives in Canada.  A 30 miler sounds perfect at the moment. I think both Ralf and I are suffering from cabin fever.

As I said before this is really weird weather, Monday we had rain and there were flood warnings. All the snow disappeared. Then more snow and more rain and then cold, cold temperatures.

I started at the Greenhouse on Thursday April 7, 2016. Up and out of the house by 8:30 a.m. wow that is early!!

I love working at the Greenhouse, I have priced and set out mini baskets of succulents, I trimmed bonsai trees, unpacked stinky recycled rubber planters, moved tulips and bulbs from one table to another, and my favorite job set out pansies by the hundreds. Pansies are such happy looking plants and a greenhouse full of them makes me smile.

I also noticed the general public walking into the Greenhouse covered up in winter coats and boots,  shoulders raised up to their ears looking slightly glum and within seconds smiles on their faces. Plants are good for you.

My only concern with working at the greenhouse is – I could be handing my paycheck back to them. Thank-you for paying me, now I will buy one of these and two of those and a few of those.
