Sun in the City

Today stands to be an extraordinary day for Big City Canada. The temperature is 10 degrees celcius and we are literally in awe. Usually, the weather in January hovers around -10 or -20 around here. It's freaking cold. Over the weekend, we do a quick run for groceries, cook a large meal at home and sit down to watch our movies rented from the nearby grocery store complex. (yeah, we end up paying A LOT of late charges too.)
But today, we were out all day. First we went to home depot to see whether we could get some flower pots and flowers for our kitchen window. The certified nursery consultant at H.D. asked us:

HD: So, where do you live, in Florida or Texas?
Us: We live in Florida -- in our minds.
HD: Well, until you move there you might want to check out some fake flowers because nothing stays alive in this weather.
Us: Oh... How about some cabbage plants or something?
HD: I suggest you check out some sculptures or bird feeders for your garden.

I suppose we got a bit overexcited with the amount of sunlight there's around these days. Mister (my "husband" - no, we're not married although gay men can get married in Canada) and I were looking for a project to do; seeing as nothing materialized, we ended spending the whole day outside. Tonight we're going over to a friend of his, with whom I share background commonalities. So... pretty happening weekend so far. I'll write more later but I shall eat now.
