Let me give you a better answer:<br /><br />It's going to depend where in Toronto you are. We're arriving in the evening and leaving the next morning going both ways. But if you happen to live close to where we're staying it could work.<br /><br />Feel free to send me an email (it's in the Contact Me page over on the left) and hopefully we can figure something out!Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952331166517430843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-54108782113774008702011-01-26T22:27:22.209-08:002011-01-26T22:27:22.209-08:00Greg - either way, Charles is fast becoming a favo...Greg - either way, Charles is fast becoming a favorite :)<br /><br />I like both of yours, but the first one in particular struck a chord with me.<br /><br />Watermark - two lovely haiku. I can't pick a favorite.<br /><br />Zhongming - that's a fantastic second haiku. Very nicely done :)<br /><br />Dumbricht - that's a grest scene you've managed to convey in your second one.<br /><br />Morganna - good luck to you with your garden this year :)<br /><br />Love your second haiku, very apt.<br /><br />Summerfield - if time allows, I'd love to meet up for coffee. Probably not on the way through, but I'll have another look at the times coming back and let you know :)<br /><br />I love the contrast between your two haiku. Very nice.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952331166517430843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-88901547752375655942011-01-26T18:03:16.392-08:002011-01-26T18:03:16.392-08:00lovely haiku's from everyone.

They should be arriving any day now and I can get on with starting them indoors. Really heavy on squashes, melons, and pumpkins, which is funny because I have trouble getting them to grow. Oh, well, maybe this is the year. I had trouble with tomatoes here, but last year I figured it out and had a bumper crop (only took me 4 growing seasons). Hopefully I can do that 2 years in a row.<br /><br />Anyway, I'll shut up now and get on with my haikus.<br /><br />Tiny, hard promises <br />Green leaves awaiting the magic --<br />Sun, soil, and water.<br /><br />Snow on the cold ground <br />Here comes summer in the mail<br />Seeds for spring planting.morgannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04295309367485408358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-27023965464702916552011-01-26T06:54:58.136-08:002011-01-26T06:54:58.136-08:00@Marc - really liked the second one, captured the ...@Marc - really liked the second one, captured the agony and ecstasy of farming.<br /><br />@Greg - the second one must be from Charles.<br /><br />@Watermark I like both, but especially the second as it captured the essence of a relationships.

I think he's always been this demented, it's just taking a while to come out.<br />I like your second haiku best, because that's the way I grow plants. The threats work, they really do.
