Blog Guelph: Make Love
Here's some local 'green news' that made the papers.

Blog Guelph: Budds
Tuesday greetings fair readers.
Yesterday Downtown Lynn set the weeks stage with a cornucopia of signs - literally speaking - for you to chuckle over. Today I'll offer a second day of signs - these from a selection of independent Guelph business.
So then. This Budds for you.
Really. Since 1926. Right on Wyndham Street. Two floors of classic department store wares, smells and experience - plus cheap underwear - is waiting for you.
Bet our buds at Budds would let the foto bug curious take photos INSIDE this classic, dying breed store if you asked them nicely.

Blog Guelph: Van Gogh's Ear

Blog Guelph: Frank & Steins
Paid off my student loan here - but at the time, this building was a bank. Now it's a bar with an out-of-date website....

Blog Guelph: Vinyl
As far as I know, this building has always housed business from the booze sector. Why is the OUT door wider? To 'pour' out the patrons perhaps?

Blog Guelph: Haiku You
Sure.
Wake up to bright sunny skies, the sound of birds and sight of melting banks of snow - as if nothing happened last night - as if winter didn't unleash yet another drunken temper tantrum upon us.
Right.
Experts blame Global Warming, El Nino or natural weather cycles but it all boils down to this.
This winter is a bully.
Look up in disgust wonder
Freezy eye soaker

Blog Guelph: S' no Beer!?
For some reason this makes me think of a pint of good ale, poorly poured with an excessive foam head.
Odd, that.
Nonetheless, let's take it as a symbol representing a happy environmentally bent crew who meet the third Tuesday of each month at the Woolwich Arms. Green Drinks anyone?

Blog Guelph: Peachy
Ha! Take that February...you are winding down before our very eyes.
Despite your attempts to get the best of us with your low low temperatures and record snowfalls (which, incidentally, I don't really mind - but I'm jumping on the "I'm done with this winter" bandwagon) you, brother, are on your way out.
Later February, much much later.
But lest we forget that there is always beauty to be found in our arctic clime, have a peek at this six-pack of gorgeousness from our faithful Flickr friend Chris (aka photocbear).
Click through too, and see the GGA (Greater Guelph Area) through his eyes for a wee while....
-Downtown Lynn-
p.s. stay tuned for tomorrow's " February's Ultimate Demise"

Blog Guelph: Bright (for now)
Well call me a big baby, or even dull for that matter, because all I have for you is another weather report with accompanying visual materials.
Is it mild and wet or cold and windy as hell? Depends on the hour you ask this weather girl...seems we're in for another round of Mother Nature's schizophrenic ferocity today.
As we used to say on the farm, "weather's comin', weather's comin..."
(Truth be told, I never grew up on a farm, and weather, in some shape or form, is always a comin')
So beginning with Photocbear, witness the beauty of the sky as it appears right now on this , the last day of January - all sunny and lovely - then peruse 4 more pics to see what's in store...and what to do when it's all over with.
Hang tough,
-Downtown Lynn-
P.S. OH, and big congratulations to our dear Sue Richards for hosting this spectacular bit of Blog-liness more than 2000 times! Gimme an S - U - E! Yay Sue!

Blog Guelph: Turn Right For Yellow
Okay.
Yesterday Downtown Lynn reported on Blue Monday - apparently the most depressing day of the year. Sadly dear readers, the grimness doesn't end there. I've since learned that this entire week has been painted with the same bleak brush.
Well screw that I say.
Today we're going to turn this hum and bug ship away from the blues and into a sea of yellow fun, sun, flowers, song and love love love.
Fasten your seat belts and let mellow yellow take you for a spin down the yellow brick road in a big yellow taxi.
Sue Richards

Blog Guelph: Give An Adventure
What if you carved out a day of adventure to spend with your family or friends?
Go on a winter hike at Guelph Lake and take a picnic. Check out the Wings of Paradise Butterfly Conservancy in Cambridge. Take a thermos of hot chocolate and spend an afternoon skating at one of the outdoor city rinks.
