What The Duck....

 Good Wednesday Mid Week kind of day, 

There is a program on the CBC Radio that I listen to on occasion named What The Duck. It is about interesting and perhaps even strange stories from around the world. Very appropriate title (perhaps with a slight variation haha) for how things seem to be going here right now especially with the weather and how it is impacting my day to day life as it relates to the garden and plants. It is difficult to predict what the temp will be from one moment to the other and thus the roller coaster ride to protect all the growing plants that are all over the yard and hanging in trees and on shelves and even some still in the greenhouses. Protect them from sudden frost warnings even though one has been following the Weather Network on an hourly basis and thinks they have a handle on the situation...not! Two more nights and maybe, just maybe things will get better.

It brings me to mind of a hot pad that I have hanging on the handle of a kitchen cupboard close to the sink so I can see it all the time.

Here it is to share with you both for some extra incentive to believe and carry on....




So I made a Rhubarb Kuchen this morning just to eat, and I am planning a nice meal of rice and veg and pork loin just to eat, and I just came back from the LCBO with a bottle of wine just to drink. I have not had a goblet of wine since Christmas and I think I have done very well in abstaining...hey, but why?  I shall indulge with my meal when I make it later, and toast to us all.

I have pulled out my Tarot cards and last few nights rereading the book that accompanies my cards for a refresher course of sorts. Makes me want to reread my Kidd series again. But still in all, I find the whole idea the Tarot very interesting even just for the sake of being interesting without going all out with reading into the meanings too deeply. Some idle fun.. 

Hope all is well with you both in spite of the many tests and Dr visits or Physio visits that we, or our spouses, are having lately. 

Take care.. and thinking of you all the time 😃

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...
