There’s a slow start of spring in Toronto but we can almost see the first soft signs of colour appear along the Scarborough Bluffs by Lake Ontario.

It’s a welcome sight. Finally, the first flowers blooming at Rosetta McClain Gardens.

It's time to get back to my garden and watch it greening and soon flowering. My tulips are almost there but they don't trust this spring's Toronto weather!

Tired of waiting for warmer weather, the tulips at Rosetta Gardens decide to open up despite the chill in the air. We can’t always wait for the ideal conditions to blossom!

For when I need a little Portugal…

Whenever I feel saudade for Portugal I visit Saudade in Toronto!
