Summers (March to June) are scorching with temperature rises to 47°C. Typically tourists avoid visting Delhi during the hot months of April to June.
Winters (December to February) are very chill, with temperature dropping down to 1°C.

I am afraid I will absolutley have to buy something even if I do win 1, 2 or 3 of these pillow covers in the 'contest'. Fabrics interest me some much, especially South Asian fabrics so rich in colour and pattern.

Grant's visa application process has hit some red tape....more details needed at this end....said details supplied and we wait...for news.
Makes me think how fortunate we are not to need visas to travel to so many places...not needed to visit Jamaica but Grant needs one to visit Canada.&Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02262381807426213726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046676.post-85034344900417672272011-07-02T11:41:00.000-04:002011-07-02T11:41:45.057-04:00Happy Birthday Canada!
I love this country...um I didn't say I love the climate...not always but most times I do. I love that we are part of the Royal Empire and in honour of our 144th birthday...such a young country...here is a picture of the special visitors to 'the true north strong and free".

The pyramid that Bryan climbed...I tried 5 steps but the steps were very high and the 'railing' was a rope at step-level. My camera pooped out so I have borrowed pictures.

Yesterday afternoon my dog and I took a long...a very long walk along the Tom Taylor trail that runs from Green Lane to St. John's Side Road - or so they say -I haven't ventured south of Mulock Drive. I parked the car; we walked down one side of the river and back up the other side.

Big Breath
I am taking a big breath before jumping into Christmas plans. Shopping, baking, and decorating will begin soon. But, until then, this is what I am really looking forward to.......my 60th birthday will be celebrated in Jamaica; the real Jamaica, with my best friend, my bff, where we will also celebrate 50 years of best friendship.

It has been awhile since I posted. Our new addition...Ms. Lola the bulldog. We love her. Adopted her from a loving home (asthma within the family) determined she could not stay there any longer. We have embraced this beautiful 4-ish year old bulldog named Lola.

Toronto Island.....it had been many years...35 years probably...since I had been to the island. How sweet it is...a lovely community of more mature folks...always someone close by...small dogs and cats...and streets only a bit wider than sidewalks..no cars! Enjoy the view...just a short ferry ride from downtown Toronto.

Sometimes I will ask 'the computer brain' a question and then see how close the answer is to my answer, or how different the response is.
What does happy feel like?
Happy is when you look at the one you love and feel like the world has stopped spinning and your smile will never go away. Ok..I have not felt 'happy' in this way.
Happy is when you Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02262381807426213726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046676.post-61876324021318184012010-09-29T14:37:00.000-04:002010-09-29T14:37:18.336-04:00Spring says please
