I know some people think it is a weed .. but we love it for privacy and for that wonderful colour. It actually rained here yesterday and snow is melting !!!!<br /><br />Lisa girl "Green + Sun" is totally good girl : ) LOL<br /><br />Grace girl the white just seems to go on for ever once it settled in .. and we actually had none until after New Years .. so we were spoiled and now I complain continuously ?? haha<br /><br />Debbie : ) I am SO ready for SPRING and a NON-winter landscape to look at girl .. white begins to eat your brains out after a while ?? LOL<br /><br />Linda : ) Ian did take a few days to remember but finally hauled it out for me and I danced around in the kitchen ;-) I love the way they write their descriptions of plants in that catalog it makes me snort & giggle a LOT !! and YES !!! Lowes is making me so curious .. i can't wait !!!!<br /><br />Hello Kay and thank you very much !<br />I love being a Canuck but that long white winter thing is a bit hard to handle after a while ;-)<br /><br />Rose we are having that warmer spell now too .. and the rain has lowered the snow levels .. I'm sure some flooding is going to be a problem the people on lower levels .. but I will be so happy to see something other than white on the ground !CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-60057900362989997022011-02-14T08:04:31.082-05:002011-02-14T08:04:31.082-05:00I needed this little bit of green, Joy!

You are so right about the "creeper" I love that it creates a "green wall" suppresses noise and adds privacy to our deck .. and talk about Autumn colour ! You have to love it! LOL<br /><br />Hello there Ralph : )Thank you so much ! .. You are very right about when the sun does come out, shadows bounce off the white snow .. I NEED some green relief and I just had to post this ! : )<br /><br />Hi there Joe and thank you : ) <br />I can't wait for the garden to wake up .. to see amazing sunrises .. and to be thrilled by some very special plants to show off their wares ? LOL .. Roll on Spring !<br /><br />Freda girl I have meant to get over to your place so often then got caught up with bits and pieces .. mental note to myself NOW ! ;-)<br /><br />Linda I have read reviews on the SP800UZ .. and not having a view finder put me off right away .. plus some of the reviews say that the still pictures are not up to snuff .. so thankfully the temptation is not driving me nuts for once ! PHEW !!! LOL<br /><br />MMT that is a nifty little ditty! Made me smile BIG time reading it!<br />Ahhh ! for the green relief .. it is much needed .. and next month ? well St. Paddy's Day ? another green occasion to celebrate ;-)<br /><br />nellie I so hope the groundhog was right because much more of this and I will go stark raving BONKERS !!<br /><br />Thank you Chub : ) I will be visiting soon !!<br /><br />Thanks Bev : ) there is scary weather happening between tomorrow and Tuesday or Wednesday .. a melt with rain and then a FREEZE .. now that is a worry ! eeekkk !<br /><br />Ms S thank you : ) and I stare at my trees thinking the buds are just a little bigger ? probably not but I can't help wishing them to swell just a little ? LOL .. we are going to have a warm shift then a quick freeze which will not be so great .. I hate those extreme shifts in weather !<br /><br />Hey Tracy girl .. cabin fever is totally unpredictable and probably a mass event if people would only own up to it ? LOL .. a fly would have fits of laughter I am sure !<br />Nahhh .. no lugging of rocks ever again .. been there done THAT! OUCH!!!!<br /><br />Eileen it sounds like we will be sharing the same weather .. looks a bit scary with the melt and freeze cycle .. and I do have a hard time really getting into the Spring zone too .. but I keep trying ;-)CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-49671943305237109222011-02-13T07:59:06.834-05:002011-02-13T07:59:06.834-05:00Joy, don't even think of lugging anything!
