What glorious weather...

 ....and I know it is a tease as i look at the forecast and see some not so nice weather in the near future. So many plants have already been taken outside the greenhouses and sitting around the yard. But these will all have to be protected when the weather turns to mixed or snow and the night temps dip to below zero. Harry has already put out a message for people who would like some kale plants.. so far only one taker but I am sure that will change. The ground is still too cold and still frozen is some places so another month or two before anything could could be planted. But the little rhubarb plants are popping their heads up already - i cleared all the leaves off and put up some little fences to protect them. I so love to have the rhubarb come and look forward to some baking when it is big enough to pick. Monday i go back to the Physio for an assessment and treatment and hope he sees some good improvements with my strength. I would like to set up a maintenance plan and maybe not have to see him again but that all depends. i am not back to perfect and my weight bearing in left leg is not where I would like it but considering what i was like last November when I first started, I see a great change for the better.

On Wednesday i am meeting friend Sue for Luncheon in Huntsville and so looking forward to this event as we have not been able to meet as regularly as we did before Covid. Yesterday my old friend Monik Evans called and we had a good old chat as usual. They still live in Alberta and we always call on our birthdays and it is a friendship that seems to have stood the test of time...and as if we are just having a regular talk like folks who see each other all the time.  Lots of laughs and that makes your day, doesn't it?

Hope all is well with you and that you are looking forward to Summer as much as i am ..to sit out in the sun or putter around the yard.  Take care...here's some sun to sit under...☀ 😅

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...
