Blog Guelph: On the right path
Good Good Day People.
Did anyone get a chance to catch sight of the sunrise in our part of the globe this morning?
Out of this world I tell you.
I took it as a sign.
A sign that the sun will come out tomorrow.
I scrambled around the outside of my house in a vain attempt to grab a shot, but to no avail,
so I'm hoping that a few of you Flickr-heads may have caught this magnificence for a post tomorrow
hint hint.
Blogger appears to be having some hiccups so your full viewing pleasure may be somewhat staggered today.
Hang in there while I post some lovelies for our theme, " Winter, Lights & Music".
Speaking of, don't forget to come to downtown Guelph this Saturday for the seasonal celebration that is, funnily enough,
A free family skate, an EcoMarket in Old Quebec Street, a killer lineup on stage featuring The Great Wooden Trio, Nick Craine, Jesse Stewart, Drew McIvor, Katherine Wheatley, Jude Vadala, Jane Lewis,
The Funky Mamas and so much more.
Oh, and Santa too....
Just click on the link to see what else I have in store for you.
See you there,

Blog Guelph: Downtown Celebration
Here's where it's all happening Saturday evening....just over to the right (in front of Old Quebec Street) you'll find the stage.
Smack dab in the middle, an ice-sculpting demonstration and to the left, 2 (yes 2!) horse & trolleys.
Dress cosy now, although you'll be warmed by the intensity of fun..

Blog Guelph: First Snow Storm
Finally.
The bone chilling rains and dampness of November have given way to our first light but dramatic covering of snow in good old Guelph town. Yesterday's chaotic multi-faced weather front came at us from all directions and I quite expected to be buried in 'the white stuff' this morning. Instead we got dusted.
If there were such a thing as Actra Awards for months, November would definitely be honored with Best Drama Queen for her performance in The Eleventh Month.
For those of you coming to us from countries where snow is just a word, I hope you enjoy today's seven post series. To enhance the experience, try sticking ice cubes in your underwear before viewing.

Blog Guelph: Simple
I have to admit, yesterday's fascinating slice of history, "How to iron a man's shirt" brought several things to light for me.
1. I still cringe when I hear the word Lady. I ain't no lady. This is evidenced by the fact that,
2. The only way I iron is to boil the kettle for tea and shake the wrinkles out.
3. Until the day I die, I don't want "many happy ironing days". There is just not enough time.
Well, now that we all - ok some of you - know how to iron properly, let's see if we can learn a thing or two from one stellar photographer that I've chosen to spotlight today.
Denim is a woman who, according to some of her admirers, imparts a sense of wonder into everyday things.
Magic into the mundane.
Viewing her photopool is akin to wandering into "A waking dream".
Amen.
In light of my own selfish pursuit of simplicity today, in desperately seeking something achingly sublime (yes, I am a romantic), I present 7 shots from Donna Dobbin aka Denim.
Here's hopin' you could use a little of the same.
Oh, and I believe these are all taken with expired film but you'll just have to check out her photostream to find that out for yourselves...
Enjoy.

Blog Guelph: Monday is......Ironing Day
Welcome to the last Monday of November.
Yesterday I found this Guelph vintage "How to Iron a Man's Shirt" video clip on YouTube. It's a different, highly educational and perhaps a more quaint way to launch our week.
"Say ladies, it's ironing day at your house, but it can still be a good day."
~ Recorded around 1952, this 10-minute long 16mm film was produced by the Department of Public Relations of the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph and the Information Branch of Ontario's Ministry of Agriculture and Food. ~
May your day be smooth and wrinkle free.
Press on......

Blog Guelph: Zeus and 3 Apollos
Enough!
Enough with the sad and pitiful blogs of late...we are dragging ourselves down people!
No more Maudlin Mondays, Dank and Dour Tuesdays....no more shall we weep on Wednesday.
With this, somewhat bold and admittedly forced, meteoric rise of spirit, I offer you six, seven, maybe even eight photos of power and all that it implies.
Enduring spirits, hopefulness, strength, will, good health and lightness.....phew!
It's going to be a better day.
I promise.
To start us off today I extend to you the strength of Peter Kelly's 'Zeus and 3 Apollos'.
You might just need to give me the day as I slowly stagger these robust offerings....

The very cool Go With The Flo Alternative Craft Show is slated for this Sunday, November 25 from noon until 5pm at Flo Creative Space, 260 Waterloo Avenue. If you're hoping to dazzle your loved ones with one of a kind gifts made by talented Guelph artists, then this show will serve you well. As a bonus, I'm told that Ms. Tannis Slimmon will offer a set of festive music somewhere around 4pm.
Of course what would Christmas in Guelph be without the Winter Lights and Music day and evening in Downtown Guelph. Bundle up your bunnies on December 1 and join in one or several family focused activities - all of which are outlined at this link.
