I'm Sticking to it... but

What a long month this short February has been. Toronto hasn't even been particularly wintery, but nonetheless I'm sick of it and longing for the heat and sunshine of a steaming Ontario summer.

I'm sticking to my Lenten promise to give up chocolate... but I keep buying it nonetheless. It's a most pleasing process, as is the anticipation of this cherry/chili combination with a truffley centre. Oh my. No worries, it will still be there on Easter Sunday.




To chase away the grey days we're experiencing right now, I purchased some paperwhites and they're looking very sweet and demure, which is more than I can say for their scent, or their owner.

    Ooh...that chili/cherry combination looks wonderful. That may have to appear in my Easter basket. :)

    I'm not tired of winter yet...I'm still mesmerized by the snow...for how long, I'm not sure but I'm content for now.

    Ah, that sounds like a delicious combination in a chocolate.;)
    I am with you on the longing for the summer...

    I'm another who is delighting in this winter. It is such a time of quiet and rest that I'll be reluctant to see it pass this year.

    Lovely paperwhites photo. I planted ours a bit late this year, and they're not quite open yet. And we tried yellow for a change! Paperyellows. :-)

    Betsy: You have a great attitude! Toronto finally got a few inches of snow and I've turned into a whiney git.

    Ron: Yes, yes I did!

    Protege: Try the chili Excellence Lindt, that's my *absolute* favourite!

    Josie Ray: Oooh, I've not heard of those, I shall check them out at my local florist. Thanks for the visit, I'll be over to discover your blog. :)
