The Annex Room

Out front of The Annex Room, they’re using icicle pansies and pussy willow branches to give us a taste of spring.

Awaiting Spring

This seems to be the Spring that can’t make up its mind. It’s sunburn one day, blizzards the next. The flowers are holding back, waiting for better weather.

The people of Stratford are coping in a variety of ways, including putting out displays of cheerfully fake flowers, like this one at the window of York Street Kitchen.

The Weekly Breakfast April Showers edition

It’s raining far too much for breakfast on the deck this week.  But we’re not complaining. The way the wind was howling last night, we fully expected to wake up to snow this morning.

Sunny yellow flowers to go with sunny tomato and spinach omelettes (sorry Leif!)

And if you look in the back, under the window, you’ll see the barbeque we picked up this morning. Summer is on it’s way!

Have a delicious weekend, everyone!

The Weekly Breakfast Turn Off The Furnace And Open All The Windows Edition

Out on the deck again, despite a few rallies by a retreating Winter earlier in the week.  Laundry on the line, Alan’s bicycle at the ready and bacon and tomato sandwiches on sourdough bread.

Have a gorgeous weekend, everyone!

The Weekly Breakfast Out On The Deck Edition

The shadier portions of the property still have snow (along the back fence). But on the deck, which faces south, IT’S SPRING! IT’S SPRING! IT’S SPRING!

Celebrated this morning with baguette French toast, bacon and lots of yummy local maple syrup.

Have a delicious weekend, everyone!
