When you look, you see

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

I was going to write up a wee story, a true story, of how someone we know donned a dark dress, drove out to a visitation, got lost (or thought she did), was almost overcome by road rage, and THEN realized it wasn’t Wednesday like I, er, she, had thought. It was Tuesday. Sigh.

Instead, I’m going to share some photos of a few things that are making me happy this week: ferns unfurling, bees buzzing, and tulips shining. So there.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (23) and Sarah (21). During the day I work as a writer at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
