Wanted: some rain please

 Good morning to all, 

And maybe my wish will come true and there is rain in the forecast. In meantime there is the hose and the person holding said hose watering the garden every day just to keep the plants happy. But everything is growing wonderfully well surprisingly. It is fun to do a walk about early and see how the plants and flowers have popped up and spread nicely. I can hardly wait to see the nasturtiums grow bigger and flower. The one flower not coming along well are the peonies which have buds but are really slow to open up. I see other peonies in peoples gardens and they are in full bloom. Patience I guess. 

We continue to laugh a bit with our Village as there are so many little food places opening up. Hamburgers, fries, pizzas, whatever you want...can be had. Not only here but in the next Village of South River. You can even have a wood fire pizza cooked before your very eyes if you want. And sit and sip on a brew while you wait. The Distillery in Sundridge has a patio, and the Brewery in South River the same. And another place has set up a patio and just waiting for the license to open up. One could just drift from place to place all day. What a life....not!

Summer has arrived officially now so I look forward to puttering about in my own yard and resting at various places where i have set up a table and chairs and umbrellas. Once a day if possible I even have a goblet of white wine which I have started to covet once again with great delight. 

Hope all is well there. Any more garage sales in your future Pati? I would love to do the same but the thought of organizing and setting up essentially on my own is not very realistic. 

Take care all.. thinking of you as the lazy days of summer are upon us..😄

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...
