Spring, Art, Sidewalk Etiquette & My iPod

Went out for a walk yesterday at lunch and saw this in a gallery window on Granville.


Oh yes, Toronto, it is you. Ha ha.

Some early morning thoughts:

Forsythia, they're like the drag queens of Spring. No matter the weather or time of day, they're in your face with their giant yellow happiness. Smile mofo! It's Spring!

When you get off the bus and you need to do God knows what in your purse or whatever, either move off to the side of the sidewalk or WALK IN A STRAIGHT LINE! Be happy I didn't shove your dumb ass in front of that bus. Good morning!

Finally, had a brief scare this morning when the note pad in my iPod wouldn't work. I'd open it up to write something and it would just close itself. WTF? I tried it again when I got to work and it seems fine now. Played music just fine. And speaking of music, last song before I got to work... Sex Machine by James Brown. Get on up.

Spring

Had the kids outside for some fresh air and a little yard work yesterday. Went around to the side of the house and saw a strange plastic bag that had a bit of a yellow glow to it.



Last fall Bern's dad gave us a bag of miniature daffodil bulbs. They were put aside with the intent of being planted before winter and obviously forgotten. There was a bit of soil in there and I guess it was open enough to let rain water in. I can't believe they survived the snow and freezing temperatures in a plastic bag sitting on concrete.
