It's raining right now...

 So nice to see to warmer weather right now not only for the greenhouses, but also for my own sanity to see this Winter disappear totally. But the paths around the house are very slippery and one must be extra careful in walking - not easy when you are also carrying buckets of water from the house to the greenhouses, or being pulled along by two very excited dogs wanting to run ahead of you. But, I am having fun and enjoying the time outdoors ....that is what counts.

Just reading in the WFP ( I am so happy to be able to read the entire stories now) about the potential for flooding with the Spring runoff especially coming from North Dakota and areas. Always touch and go for the prognosticators. Hope you will fair well.

I am reading a JJ Jance novel from the Library right now as suggested by you Cathy. A Beaumount series of "who dun it" Just into it but sort of like the style of writing so far. Little time to read except just before lights out but it does help to ground me a bit before sleep time. Not too good in the sleep department still ...awake and then a little snooze and then awake cycle most of the night. I tried my hot milk drink last evening but it just made me have to get up a few times to the bathroom.

Happy to get all your messages and stories. I am especially happy to see the Pats Studio blog back in business haha!

Take care both of you......Cathy be good to yourself and get better real quick. I am happy that my mobility is improving as well given all the time I put into my daily exercises and Physio appts. Treat yourself to a smile today and I will too, thinking of you both 😍

The energy-sucking garage sale panic is over.

  We both made it through the day without faltering, very much looking forward to a good nap once things were over.  But then were so high couldn't sleep.  Both Loren and Amber were there to help us, with Amber stopping at Tim's for breakfast on her way.   I was up and immediately dressed at 7:00 (Omg!  It even hurts to be able to say that)  Then off in the car to set up 5 signs.  Of course, each stop one has to find a place to park, get out of the car, place the sign, and reverse the process.  That finished, I parked in the mall across the way, pulled my walker out of the car, and trudged off home.  I was so glad to have the walker during the day, mainly because the float was hidden in the small zipper compartment in the walker and I sat on it most of the day.  We moved the patio table and umbrella to the front yard.  Amber and I spent most of the day there, while Loren and Dave spent their time in the garage, until later in t...

Baking

  Yesterday I forgot to mention that I've become concerned about how much money we've been spending on muffins.  So I decided to try baking them on my own.  We got rid of all my baking pans at the garage sale so had to make a trip to Dollarama for a new one.  It's silicone and soft and wiggly, but also dishwasher safe.  I've made some Blueberry muffins that didn't rise very well.  Turned out the baking powder was over a year past it's "best before" date.  Went out and bought more. I've found recipes on-line for Banana Chocolate Chip, Chocolate, and another Blueberry that uses frozen berries rather than thawed--great--as all of mine are Frozen.  I'm also going to look for a recipe for Bran, but not today.

Yes. It is Sunday again

  Time keeps passing. Faster and faster every day. We had freezing rain last night and this morning but it seems to have stopped for now, but that damp chill goes right through me!  Lucky and Ally are both sleeping so is almost like having time to myself. I did walk Lucky this morning but we stayed off the road. We went around the trail cause it wasn’t icy. Less dangerous for both of us. I snuggled down this weekend but I will have to venture out tomorrow.  Hopefully the roads will be clear. They don’t look bad right now so it is promising. I get my flu shot on Wednesday and Ally has a vet appointment on Friday. And I’m going to call for a lawyer appointment tomorrow.  Chloe is going to have her “old people” birthday party on the 18th. Kik and I will go together. And I told Kik I would go to Winnipeg with her on the 14th. I hate the time change. I was awake very early this morning, even though Lucky stayed sleeping until 6:30!  It’s just going to be an extra lon...
