Either you run the day, or the day runs you.~Jim Rhon

Good day!
It was raining this morning; I thought good, I can do what I want!
It quit raining, things will probably have to be watered, and I'm still trying to 'do what I want."
Which so far has included:
Cleaning & changing the hummingbird water
Laundry
Cleaning the top of the fridge
Making Kalen & I a snack
Straining liqueur
Dishes
The list is long.
What I really want to do is finish a birthday card for my SIL, and make Bryson another thinking of you card!
I should really finish putting the seeds into the garden & weeding!  
I started yesterday!
I made rhubarb pie yesterday, and we took mom a piece. 
Today, I WILL finish the birthday card, and make some fococcia bread! 
I made taco stuffed sweet potatoes last night for supper, so there's leftovers!
Vanessa has a birthday coming up.
I made this.

I was drinking a glass of water, and knew I'd 'dripped'.
I grabbed & wiped off everything in site.
Went back to making the card, and there was a watery ink smudge on the middle bag!
It ended up under the HB2U!
I messaged her favorite pedicurist up north & got her to mail a gift certificate!
 
I actually have a hair appointment for this coming Friday!
I was going to go grey, and had an appointment for my hairdresser to give me a little help, when everything shut down!
I figure by the time she cuts off 6 inches we'll be good.
I won't need any help! 
 
We've been busy digging & planting!
Half the petunia tree is planted. 
Mine is similar to the picture; and holds 21 pots.
I had bought 10 pots for it across the line.
Then they closed the border for non essential traffic.
I put up my pots & plants in every second holder.
Kalen thought it looked goofy.
I said, "I can get these pots in Canada, I don't want to pay $30 each for 11 more!"
He got online & ordered 10 similar ones from Rona for about $4 a piece!
I have the flowers for them.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get pink, which is what I got for it to show up from the road, so we will have pink & purple!
I'm sure it will be stunning! 
I'll take a picture when all the pots are in.
Haha!
I'll let you go!
 
I get a day between Saturday & Sunday this long weekend!
There's no end to the little chores that need to be done!
I will be making a rhubarb bundt cake either later today or tomorrow, and we will take some to mom!
 
Talk to ya later!
Wash your hands & stay safe!

"Just keep taking chances and having fun." Garth Brooks

Good morning!
Happy Mother's Day to everyone celebrating today! 

This is the card I made my mom!


I am making an upside down rhubarb cake; Kalen & I will go to her place later.
We'll sit outside & take our own drinks!
 
Weather has been nice!
Lots of yardwork!
 
Hummingbirds found the feeder!
 

 


 And because Kalen's back is still sore (I told him he might have to go sit at emerge!), I took the tiller off the tractor yesterday, & he helped with the mower!
Easiest piece of equipment to attach so far!
 
Today, I'm going to mow ALL the grass!
We have both been mowing, with push mowers!

Have a great day everyone!

Talk to ya later!
Stay safe!!
