Zen Master

Just think of the trees:

They let the birds perch and fly,

with no intention to call them when they come

and no longing for their return when they fly away.

If people's hearts can be like the trees,

they will not be off the Way.

Langya Motivational Quote

Giving snow 'the boot!'

Bye, bye, time to go, see you next year!

The Cold Truth

Silly Montrealers...

We've been watching the snow melt at a rapid pace over the last few days.  We let down our guard and tossed our jackets and boots aside.

Spring is really here, we believed.

Silly us.

Today Mother Nature delivered the cold truth:

huge, wet, icy, splotches of snow.

Happy Spring!

Fresh snow overnight...

The hearts that love
will never know winter's frost and
Chill.

Summer's warmth is in them
Still.

~ Eben Eugene Rexford

The Neighbourhood Watch(ers)

My friend and neighbor through the year,

Self-appointed overseer.

Always groomed to tip of feather,

Clam and trim in every weather.

Wake Up Summer!

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” 


~John Steinbeck, Travels With Charley: In Search of America

Waiting for spring

My garden fairy is still wearing her crown of snow, so I guess we will be waiting a little while longer for Spring to return.

Not feeling the magic!

As we enter our fifth month of winter, the Frog King and I have decided that the snow is not so magical after all.

Frozen in time

Frozen in time,

This perfect moment of mine.

The Artist

An artist keeps her eye on nature and steals all her tools.

"The snow doesn't give a soft white damn whom it touches."

~ E.E. Cummings
