out of bounds...

What with Olympic games and all...our thoughts are more on skiing, skating and hockey these days...than on gardening.

But the reality is that it is almost spring...and time to think about pruning those shrubs that are growing 'out of bounds'. The raspberries still need attention...as do the grapes....and the curly willow. Stopping by the garden shop is quite tempting on a nice sunny day...and our Olympic weather forecast is for plenty of those the rest of the week.

We have a garden centre and nursery nearby...and I stop by on occasion to pick up a few things. The other day I wandered through the nursery...all on my own. The snow-capped peaks in the distance are those in the Whistler area. And as I left I noticed this sign...

...and smiled. What a nice way of asking us not to go out of bounds!

And guess where I am bound today? I am donning my Canada uniform...and off to Vancouver to join in the cheering.

Have a great day...
