Desperation kicks in once again, LOL! A rose that I bought from Safeway recently lasted only one day. Before I threw it out, I decided to pull off all the petals to see what had been hidden deep within the flower. I liked the pattern that I found close to the centre and it reminded me of lovely warm flames. Much needed on yet another frigid day. Had to do some local food shopping this afternoon and pay a couple of bills - the roads were terrible!! Most people seemed to be driving sensibly, but I couldn't believe my eyes when I passed a driver reading his newspaper as he drove!!! No wonder accidents happen!

Would you believe the temperature was -30C today when four of us went east of Calgary, to Drumheller for the day. I think we only walked about 7 km in total, but at that temperature, it was COLD, COLD, COLD! Not sure if these are the berries of Thorny Buffaloberry.
