Well wrap me up and call me a bundle of contradictions but I swear I love the rain almost as much as I love the sun.
Almost.
Beware though! Evidently this spring in my step may take a hazardous turn to ice by tonight.
Hang on everyone, we're in for a slippy ride. Safe travels.
This Gem of the Day is brought to you by NaturesEssence and Blog Guelph's cutting edge weather network.
Who knew?
-Downtown Lynn-
I'm was on the verge of whining about winter's grey skies when the sun blasted through the cloud cover and set me to purring. But - just in case the sunshine is short lived, I came across this sentimental gem to help you through future drab bits.
"My sunshine doesn't come from the skies,
It comes from the love in my dog's eyes."
Unknown Poet
And so today is for the dogs....

Guess what?
Today is Blog Guelph's third birthday!
Yep, while I was thinking of something witty to say, I thought, let's see what was written February 25th, 2006.
"Call it what you will. Cow Town, G-town, Royal City, City of Music, or home sweet home, Guelph is a vortex of creative genius.
If you happened to be from Guelph, or know someone from Guelph who's Blog you'd like to see on these pages, send it on over. I will give them a posting, and a link.
If you are having pronunciation problems try this: Goow-Elf. Or try throwing up. The sound you make is the name of our city.

I love the second last sentence!
Happy Birthday, Blog Guelph! You're looking great!

Dear Dear Blog Guelph viewers,
Apologies for such a late and oh so brief Made in Guelph today.
The pirates stole me and took me to the land where internet doesn't exist.
Ok, that didn't really happen, but I didn't want to disparage my Internet Service Provider so publicly. They will, however, get a wicked tongue lashing as soon as I can get back online and give this nice fella his computer back....
Here's a pic (sigh, just one) from Pedantic Romantic and it's a keeper.
Consider it my peace pact.

Today's photo selection is as simple as 1 2 3!
And do enjoy your last Monday in February.

Last week, I went looking for signs of Spring. I think I jumped the gun. I did see a cardinal and buds on a tree, but I am sure both are hiding again.
Didn't you love Sue's post yesterday? Scroll down a tad and smile.
Also, if you want to be taken away from the snow and into a rainier climate, Coraline is playing at the Galaxy Cinemas. I saw it last night, and it was a hit.
Have a great weekend!

And so winter drones on....
My pal Chris from Melbourne Australia - the land of drought, wildfires and intense heat - sent me a link to his One Thousand Faces photo blog - which provided me with the inspiration for today's series of a dozen images I'm calling Winter Faces.
We've pretty much been bundled up since November in Guelph and our much anticipated spring unveiling still seems eons away. And yet we persevere - smiling (okay maybe not everyone) our way through the longer days, making the best of what could well be a five month winter. Bleeeeck!!
Do remember to click on any and all the pics. You'll be further entertained by our corral of brilliant local photographers.

It's heartbreaking to hear shelters are gearing up for the flood of animals being abandoned or surrendered due to loss of jobs and tough times. If you've ever considered adopting, it's a good time to do so.

Because the Flickr hiccups of last week put a kibosh on our Hillside Inside special, I'm going to try again today, courtesy of John Q6.
Enjoy,

It's the second annual Family Day in Ontario - meaning loads of people have the day off work. With the sun shining and a manageable -1c forecast, it's the perfect opportunity to get outside for some family February fun.
Do dress appropriately....
More photos tomorrow.
