A quick post, pictures to come later.

I went to garden centre today. Among the highlights:

1. Visiting the rescued parrot who lives in the store. He was quite talkative today--which was a bonus as that never seems to be the case whenever I am there (which is almost never...I think my last trip there was about 5 years ago). My 2 and half year old nephew came and was enthralled by the parrot.

2. Finding a tiny tiny pineapple tree that I can keep in the house! You will have to forgive me if you are a gardening person and have seen these before and think I am being a geek for overreacting. But I have never seen such things before and I am completely amazed. I bought it on impulse (it was stupidly expensive) and we will see how it grows in the pineapple mecca of Calgary.

3. I found new catnip toys for my cats in the shapes of smurfs!
