Cana­di­ans like pets, and in res­i­den­tial neigh­bour­hoods it’s com­mon to see peo­ple walk­ing their dogs after an early diner, no mat­ter the weather.
How­ever, unlike French, Cana­di­ans are well-behaved and they pick up after their dogs—streets here are not dot­ted with dog poop.

Flower Power

Submitted by on September 24, 2007 – 7:41 pm14 Comments

The whole world can worry about global warm­ing, here in Canada we enjoy it (as long as it doesn’t melt our piece of ice up there). We should be see­ing red leaves and have chilly weather on the way, but flow­ers are bloom­ing every­where. Go figure!

    Hey Zhu!

    You are right: such beau­ti­ful flow­ers!!!
    Well, I must con­fess one thing (bring your ear closer): I, too, am enjoy­ing this global warm­ing thing *shi­u­uuu*! In Por­tu­gal, today is 28ºC — how great is that?

    Cheers

    Zhu it looks so beau­ti­ful and warm and not at all like here. Today it has been windy and rain­ing and cold!
    Thanks for some snap­shots of an Indian sum­mer :)

    Dead­poo­lite : I wouldn’t even dare to take you out of my blogroll. We all know about Greek revenge sto­ries ! Seri­ously…! :roll: :lol:

    Jess : thanks !

    Web­miztris : 80 degrees ? Wow, that must be hot ! Oh wait a sec… you mean Fahren­heits, right ? :razz:

    Sil­verneu­rotic : well, don’t for­get Canada is also cold and snow… a lot of both prob­a­bly com­ing soon !

    Dum­dad : Thank you ! Means a lot to me — I strug­gled with Eng­lish at first, it’s never easy to write in another lan­guage… but I’m try­ing and it’s much eas­ier now !

    Mov­ing to Word­Press… well, Blog­ger is great to start a blog, but I wanted to have my own domain (vain me !) and I was inter­ested in the other side of blog­ging, the cod­ding. WP also offers a lot of flex­i­bil­ity, I can tweak my blog as I want ! So I made the move.

    WP.com isn’t that good, I’d rec­om­mend Blog­ger. But self-hosted Word­Press is pretty good :wink:

    Max : I didn’t know it was hot in Europe too ! My par­ents keeps on com­plain­ing about the weather !

    Lis : ah, a stereo­type of Eng­lish weather ! :lol:

    Itelli : Flower power, I’m telling ya !
