The calendar says Spring...

It is Spring but you would never know by the weather. We were given another blast of Winter yesterday as well and I see that you folks may be in for more snow today. The best part is that it will melt as witnessed from yesterday. We headed out to Huntsville in a real blizzard with poor driving and visibility. Not too bad a trip coming home and by afternoon the sun was shining and sky was blue and what I had to shovel from the driveway and the pile left from the plough  - heavy, wet snow at that - was melting away to nothing. There is hope folks 😃

I received a funny call from the Librarian yesterday about a new book they had ordered in and wondering from me about it. I guess I had a conversation with her about Kelly Armstrongs new book in the Casey Duncan series. I mentioned it was a new series as they were moving on to a new situation with new characters, and I was excited to read the first one. So when the book came in yesterday to the Library, it stated that this book was described as number 8 in the previous series so they then thought it was just more of the first series. They do not like to continue buying series books as a lot of people do not follow them (as perhaps we do) and they want to spend their limited money on more accepted new books. Anyway, the book waits for me to get today and maybe I can explain it better. I feel as if i were the person at fault here but I am sure we can figure it out together nicely. I seem to have gotten myself into another tricky situation?

The greenhouses have prevailed in spite of the crazy weather - or as I like to think, because of my undivided care and attention haha! We should be ok from now on with temperatures or so I pray. Except this evening and night where we expect to have freezing rain come our way. 

Time for some breakfast and then on with another day. Any plans for Easter weekend? We will be lying low this year. But plan to visit with Mike next week sometime. In meantime I am anxious to seek out that hairdresser and get a cut. Wish me luck . Be good XX

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...
