Here in Canada it's a long weekend, so I AM getting my day between Saturday & Sunday this week.
Still won't be enough!
I'm going to show you the card I made for Vanessa's BIG 3-OH, then you can get on with your day!
It's blue, with the token dragonfly!
Her birthday's tomorrow.
She should be on her way home from Edmonton right now,
where she went for her 11th Backstreet Boys concert!
Happy Birthday to her!
I am making a Strawberry Angel Food Trifle sometime today,
(that should look EXACTLY like the link!)
and steaks will be marinating!
We had a blizzard 2 weeks ago tomorrow.
NO.KIDDING!
A full on howling winter blizzard.
This is what happened to the bottle tree.
And the swing.
The bottle tree has gone back for warranty,
and the swing has been moved to a more sheltered location,
after living in that spot every year for about 6 summers!
The moose that hung around the yard all winter tasted EVERYTHING!
Mountain Ash.......
Russian Olive.....
And anything else it wanted to!
The renovations are coming along....
The kids were gone last weekend so I primed & painted the spare room...
Good bye hurtmyeyes orange!
This week I cut wood for the closet bars, they need to be painted,
Ray & I moved the sidewalk blocks to the sidewalk,
I picked up a tub surround, and new shower for the bathroom.....
Vanessa put her back out over a week ago....
so she's frustrated.......
The papers were signed for her to take over Kalen's mortgage payment....
I will not be the property manager anymore. YAY!
Kalen is being released from the Navy in August and will go to school...
Reclamation.......I'm sure it has another name, but it eludes me!
He says, "When going to college or university, you're punished if you own Property, a car, etc."
You aren't eligible for any grants, scholarships, or what have you.
It has been so cold here!
This morning was the first morning I could sit outside with my coffee
WITHOUT a coat on!
We are JUST getting leaves on the trees!
Firepit Friday has become a survival of the fittest!
Lined hoodies, with the hood up,
long pants WITH shoes & SOCKS.
Mittens, blankets, and a roaring fire!
Last night I started a fire, and it was wonderful,
til the sun went down, then we needed a coat,
but I DID have short pants on!
I got my potatoes planted,
the gladiola & dahlias are going in today.
The strawberries need to be moved to their new bed.
There's an awful pile of rocks on my lawn from the yard being cleaned out this winter.
We've all had turns raking them off;
and NOT complaining,
cause we need the snow removed.
Been cleaning the yard,
removing and cutting up fallen trees,
getting out the lawn mower,
putting away the snow blower!
Cleaning out sheds,
picking up crap that blew all over.......
The usual Springy stuff,
only we haven't had SPRING!
The farmers are complaining.....
that's a given.........
Better go, the sun is shining!!!
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
