Getting Ready for a ‘Weekend’ Away

Tomorrow morning, I am setting off for BC’s capital, Victoria! I will be there for three nights and two full days, and will be taking my neighbour with me. We are going to meander our way down there and make several recommended stops on route. As for my itinerary in Victoria, it’s still very much up in the air. Many of the ‘must see’ attractions have a much too high cost to interest ratio. I’ll make up my mind when I get there.

It’s a little scary to go away for four days with so much left to do before departure, but I need some time off! 😀

A World in Bloom

These are some of the flowers that have sprung to life on the property in the last couple of weeks:

orange tulips and daffodils

Not sure what these are (primroses?) but I don't need to know their name to know they are pretty!

Tulips are such a May flower for me that they are serving as a good reminder that while the weather was horrible for a few weeks, I’m still in a pretty darn good climate!
