Happy Birthday! Hoping you had a chance to get outside today and enjoy yourself.

Ciao all-

Thanks everyone! Yes, I did get outside. For the first time since moving to Ontario, it was good weather on my birthday, so Duane took the day off work and we drove out of the city on a day trip. We went on 2 good but short hikes (for me, I like long challenging hikes with lots of elevation). After that, we went over to Richter's Herbs. They have a very large catalogue of just about any sort of (LEGAL) herb you'd ever want to grow, whether in seed form or plants. I came home with 2 trays of plants and a handful of seed packs. We usually only get out there once per season and now's really the best time to go. Canada's long Victoria Day Weekend is next weekend and that's the "traditional" gardening weekend so everyone descends on any kind of garden centre, nursery, and greenhouse like locusts. You DON'T want to be buying plants or gardening supplies then if you can help it.

Duane grilled pork ribs when we got home and since I couldn't find the big globe artichokes that I like at the market, I got some very early corn and it was pretty good for early corn. We also had a big garden salad full of all sorts of wonderful things at their peak right now outside and finished off with a slice of tiramisu. I didn't make it this time. I opted for spending as much time outside and just relaxing, what everyone wants for their birthday over the age of 5.

Sorellina, I missed this thread, sorry. Someone obviously found it was your birthday elsewhere, because it didn't come up automatically on the Birthday stats.

Happy Belated Birthday!!!
I'd say you had Fun!! Richters. What a Great Place to go shopping on Your Day!

So how long have you been in Ontario then, if you've never had decent weather for your birthday here?
