Yesterday was a dandy day: I didn’t get much accomplished, but the 🤏 little thing I did was to get my tax papers to the tax preparation office. Gary’s also, and he is already worried because I made him “late”. For small business owners, the deadline isn’t until mid-June, however, if there’s tax owing it’s … Continue reading
Of course yesterday, being Mother’s Day, felt particularly fulfilling. I heard from each of four daughters and my sister. I spent some time in the greenhouse transplanting spindly seedlings and hoping for the best. 🤞 I got the peas planted, worked on the old chair and not much else. Darn those “Facebook Memories” … the … Continue reading
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺 Among the many things that make me joyful: getting a notification that plants are on their way to me! Part of that happiness is because I forget what I’ve ordered. Last winter, I chose some more perennials in anticipation of having extra time for tending flower beds. I know where I filed the receipts … Continue reading
After I went to bed last night, I got a text about something, then noticed that, in Facebook, folks were posting photos of the northern lights. I didn’t get out of bed. I should have, but I was weary, and I hadn’t read enough posts to appreciate how unique the display was. I’ve never seen … Continue reading
It seems like this common cold is truly kicking our asses. Yes, it could be worse, but we’re both so tired of being so tired. On the bright side, we’ve had a couple of gorgeous, sunny days. No matter how run-down I feel, I’ve managed to get a bit of yard work or garden-y tasks … Continue reading
Yay, my favourite day! You might get tired of reading that … but it happens every week. 🤷🏼♀️ Yesterday was pleasant: a beautiful day though it wasn’t very warm. I planted some sprouting spuds, cleaned up some planters and stayed busy to a point. This common cold has made me uncommonly fatigued and I had … Continue reading
With Gary away yesterday, I thought, “What mischief can I get into?” Turned out, I didn’t have any extra energy to perform any great or mischievous feat. 🤷🏼♀️ Eventually, with little excuse, I jumped into the truck with Mica and went to town for lunch. I took a handful of items to the dump and … Continue reading
6:00 : Gary has gone on a mission: up the mountain range in a helicopter to work on a bridge to improve back country trails. The project is that of the Back Country Horsemen Society of British Columbia. https://bchorsemen.org/ Now, I don’t want to fix a bridge, but I’m jealous he gets to go on … Continue reading
Almost every day, I eliminate some items (not done) on a list that only exists in my mind. Yesterday afternoon, I decided I would putter instead of driving 45 minutes to a plant sale. I also gladly stayed at home for someone wanting to come here. Earlier, I groomed this pleasant schnoodle, and he took … Continue reading
Watched the Kentucky Derby yesterday afternoon. I didn’t sit at the TV for hours beforehand, but came in from working in the greenhouse and the yard in time to see all the horses and jockeys, owners and trainers, and there was the usual commentary, trumpet-playing and the singing of ‘My Old Kentucky Home’. I then … Continue reading
