Canucks???

(from Wikipedia) ... The Random House Dictionary notes that: "The term Canuck is first recorded about 1835 as an Americanism, originally referring specifically to a French Canadian. This was probably the original meaning, though in Canada and other countries, Canuck now more often refers to any Canadian." We are now permanent residents of Canada, which may not qualify us to be Canucks, strictly speaking, but we're more Canuck than any other Williams in our family ... and proud to be!

Spring weekend

This weekend we took a bike ride through the Mill Creek Ravine to the Muttart Conservatory. The four pyramids you see in this picture are loaded with plants from different climates - tropical, temperate, arid, and one that's all flowers. We discovered that if we come after 5pm, it's free!


After that, Andrew mowed the back yard - his first time by himself - and we cooked out for dinner.
Here's a great "only in Canada" picture - Poutine is kind of a national dish: french fries, topped
with cheese curd and brown gravy. Nothing but fat, and really pretty good. It is served in
many restaurants and fast food places, including this Harveys in the foyer area of Home Depot.
