Trilliums  

The Lilac Cafe, with high speed wireless internet service, is open for business. 

Artsy tulip shot 

Note to self: clean up tulip bed. 

The prettiest tulip in my very weedy front flower bed. 

It's almost Lilac Day .. by Monday, they should be in full bloom. 

What are these? I didn't plant them, yet there they are in the flower bed on the south side of my house. Hmmm. 

DaVinci Madness

I'm fashionably late to this party, but I finally read The DaVinci Code last week. I thought it was an excellent novel, and I'm looking forward to the movie.

Others - well, not so much. In India, the Catholic Secular Forum has called for Christians to launch a hunger strike - to the death if necessary - to protest the movie.

Now there's a brilliant idea - starve yourself to death, and then you can ask Jesus Himself if he was married to Mary Magdelene or not.

Oh, wait a minute - deliberately starving oneself would be suicide, no? And that's a mortal sin, no?

The jokes just write themselves, don't they?

Where all the cool turtles hang out 

Swim, turtle, swim! 

Can you find the frog?

Rick Mercer nails it

Rick Mercer says that Harper et al are a bunch of pricks for refusing to lower the flag on the Peace Tower after four Canadian soldiers were killed in Afghanistan last week.

Mercer is right.

And that's all I have to say about that.

"How do I start this thing, Mom?"

Someday, this lawn tractor and all of this grass will be yours, my son.
