Heading into another weekend

 Good Friday 😍

The weather here has been wonderful save for that terrible storm we had the other day that initiated tornado warnings and some possible touchdowns not confirmed yet. The wind has continued though over past day or two which is dropping several dead branches from trees in our yard. So today i should walk about and gather them up for the pile to go out on Monday for the village pickup of brown leaf bags and brush. And the lawn needs to be cut. Thank goodness I took the lawn mower two weeks ago to a fellow to clean and condition it. It has not started for me for a few years very well and I knew it needed some work. Hope this second cutting with it since being fixed will be easy again. It is the pulling of the cord to get it going that bothers me. Where is all my strength when I need it. 😒

Much planting in the garden over past week as the temperatures have allowed us to get the plants out of the greenhouses and into pots or the garden proper. Yesterday I also planted beans to go along with the cucumbers that I planted a week ago. Since then the cucumbers have tripled in size at least. Maybe this year will be a bumper crop year.

This coming Wednesday I have a Luncheon date with friend Sue in Huntsville at the Swiss Chalet. Every year we try to get together and often the dates did not workout. But it seems Wed will be a go. 🤞

🎶Always on my mind .....that is what you two are 💕...take care . Soon we can have another video call to catch up. 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...
