Don't you just love this time of year? Not only is there no snow to shovel or get stuck in, but layers of clothing aren't necessary to keep one from shivering,  Now that's just me talking. I know there are plenty of people who enjoy the winter season and all the good things that it has to offer, but not only (in my mind) are things earsier to deal with in the warmer temperatures that this time of the year brings, an added bonus is the 'loosness' of everyone's mood. People have been, or are on, or soon going on, much anticipated holidays. A better frame of mind just seems to prevail.....a welcome change from periods of time with more stress. We need summer to rejuvinate and recharge the batteries.

I've sure noticed lighter traffic on my commute into work these days and even when I get to the station, a ...

It's a great condo in downtown Toronto that boasts a view of Rogers Centre from one window and the lakeshore from the other. They've decided to hold off starting a family for a while but have been talking about getting a puppy more frequently over the past while. I guess it may be part of the nesting instinct to become a caregiver(??).
