Floral Wacky Birds on Thursday
…completely missed all Wednesday posts (such a busy time of year)
Normally I post Kevin’s wacky birds here but I’m saving them for Thursday Trios. You’ll see why in my next post.
The Greenhouse at Centennial Park is Open Again
…with a few COVID precautions in place
It was wonderful to be able to walk through the greenhouse again and take in all the beautiful flowers. Right now Poinsettias are the feature flower in honour of the Christmas season. As you walk in you are greeted by a maiden of succulents and as you exit there is a second maiden all decked out in succulents.
The greenhouse on the north side is where the poinsettia display is housed. There are so many wonderful varieties and colours and in between there are whimsical birdhouses.

The Griswold’s Live in Niagara-on-the-Lake
…and I don’t think they’re finished decorating
While visiting this quaint town on the Niagara River we discovered this home during the day on one of our walks. The decorations were pretty amazing and we saw a work table and power tools on the driveway indicating that the homeowner was still busy setting up lights and decorations.
Later that afternoon, after the sun had gone down we were driving back to our hotel when we came up to the same house but now the lights were on. What a spectacular sight. I’m not sure that my photos do it justice.
Christmas Doors in Niagara-on-the-Lake

Walking through the neighbourhoods in Niagara-on-the-Lake this time of year is like being in a Hallmark Christmas movie.
