BUFFET

I went to Plantworld on Eglinton and got me and mom an Easter Lily.  She was so impressed that there were 9 blooms.   I did not notice that.    Usually I get them at No Frills and there are around 5-6 blooms.  Stunning.  I got a Hyacinthe too and there were 6 bulbs.

SWING INTO SPRING





APPLE PHISHING EMAILS

I have had two of these in two weeks.  They usually end up in my junk mail which I peruse daily and empty.  First of all, I do not have an apple ID.  Also, note that the email looks like it was sent from yourself.  To check that out just click on reply and your name will come up on the left hand side as a contact.  You will see that there is not a sender noted - if there was I would copy and paste it into hotmail/outlook BLOCK.   Here is a link to see more about this.

REPAIR, REUSE, MAKE DO AND DON'T THROW ANYTHING AWAY.........

...... was a motto from the Great Depression.   An interesting story popped up the other day about flour sacks.  They used to make them in floral prints as people used them to make dresses.  It would take more than one flour sack to make a dress so what became good for the goose was also good for the gander.  Today, vintage flour sacks are highly sought out on ebay auctions mostly to make vintage quilts.




WELCOME SPRING

DECORAH EAGLES- IOWA - March 5th

Female eagles are larger than male eagles.  In this youtube, the mother eagle comes back to the nest to relieve the father eagle.  Note that the father eagle likes his eggs in a row and the mother likes hers in a triangle.  I think that this nest is very close to a fish hatchery and hope one day I can see one of them bringing home a fish.


Again, here is the live WEBCAM of the Decorah Eagles in Iowa -
