There is some monetary stress and while I now make a good salary some things just have to be bought now, right now; like a car....and a BBQ (ours is like cooking steak over a candle) and some general upkeep for the house.
We don't want to fall in the same spending patterns we had before I lost my job. Charging stuff, not repaying them right away and ending up owing tons of money to the evil credit card companies. In the last three years I managed to clear up most of our credit card debt and I don't want to go that way again. So money is tight, but it's okay we won't go hungry.
Now how do I know that Spring is back in Québec?
And I love seeing the crocuses blooming!
These are my favorites1 I love to see those sunny little faces; all perky!
The street vendors are out again selling their beautiful handmade jewelry on Ste-Catherine street
The flower lady is back (year in year out, foul or fair weather)
And most of all.....
I just want to go here.....
And stuff my face with delciously decadent ice cream!
Enjoy the sun, while I treat my cold. I hope to spend more time at home, blog more and definitely thrift more!
I can feel delicious goodies out there :)

Your crocuses are ahead of mine! Soon you'll be growing veggies and saving a little money there too.
Good things are coming your way!
How funny, I just did a spring post with flowers today too. Chicago is being fickle and it's taking AGES to feel like spring here. :(
Love the feather earrings and I crave ice cream too.
wow a fellow Quebecer. 90% of my readers are from the US. I have been trying to find some fellow bloggers. Hope you can pop on by my blog.
