Who needs an expensive gym membership when they have an active excited dog!

by

I was just outside on the front lawn talking to our next door neighbors. We were trying to talk with them about the fence that they are putting in since one part of the new fence is on our shared property line.

I brought my Labrador Retriever outside with me when I was talking with my neighbors – just on her leash, not with her prong collar as I usually do and man, did my arms ever get a work out with all her pulling! If I did that for half an hour a day I wouldn’t need to take any muscle building supplements ever! LOL

You see my neighbor was doing some work on the foundation of his house and he’d pulled out a rose bush and cleared some maple twigs that had landed on his lawn and my dog could see them from where we were talking so she kept pulling and pulling while we talked … she also kept pulling whenever someone would walk by with their dog. So I got quite the workout. Who needs an expensive gym membership when they have an active excited dog!





So much running around to do tomorrow – not fair

by

I’ve got so much to do tomorrow.

This weekend there’s something going on in Toronto called Open Doors. Since I had a lot of work to do on the computer I got my husband to agree that we’d do Open Doors tomorrow. Of course that means that we’ll really be running around!

I also have to get some shopping done. That includes getting some grocery shopping as well as getting some Beads for a kids party in a week. Stores close earlier on Sundays around here as well so I have to get most everything done by about 5:30p.m..

I also still need to write back to my brothers and sister about setting up video chat. I have no idea how to do that, but I guess I’m going to be learning in the next day or so because my family wants to start video chatting. Should be interesting!

Busy busy busy!

How was your weekend

by

It’s the end of a long weekend here in Canada and all around neighborhood I can hear people letting off Fireworks for Victoria Day. It’s driving my dog nuts! Try telling an excited Lab that all those noises are normal. Uh huh.

On Saturday the weather was really nice so my husband and I ran around and got a few things done and did some work outside the house, however the weather wasn’t so nice on Sunday or today so we ended up being stuck indoors most of the time. We did try to get outside for a bit earlier today but it suddenly got windy and the roses that we were working near started whipping into us and injuring us. I guess we can’t win! LOL

There wasn’t even anything good on TV on the weekend. For some reason a couple of the channels that I like to watch during non-holidays love to run reruns of old shows over and over again – just one show – no variety for a whole day or even a whole weekend on a long weekend .. so if you’re stuck at home and there isn’t much on TV it can be bad. I think one of the shows had something about a Texas truck accident lawyer I sort of fell asleep at that point. Yep .. exciting long weekend for me – huh.

I guess we would have been out doing more interesting things but I feel down the stairs last week and really hurt myself. I bruised my lower back, my left buttock, my left leg and left arm and my neck and even my jaw hurt – after a week. So I’m not in very good shape. I think it will take me about another two weeks to get over that fall.

How was your weekend? Better than mine I hope!

A beautiful Sunny Day for some Yard work

by

It seemed like everyone in our neighborhood that didn’t go away for the long weekend must have been out cutting their grass and doing yard work today. I couldn’t believe how much the neighborhood smelled of fresh cut grass. It was kind of strange .. and strong smelling. LOL

One nice thing about our neighborhood is that we all kind of take turns helping each other out with the yard work or lawn care. Early this morning one of our neighbors from a few houses down cut his grass, our grass and the two neighbors lawns between our houses. Nice huh? Especially nice for the older lady on social security benefits between us because she just can’t get out to do yard work any more at all. We do her lawn when we’re cutting our grass too.

It’s supposed to rain tomorrow so we enjoyed the nice weather today. It got up to 27 Celsius (80.6 F)- the warmest day so far! If the weatherman is wrong and it doesn’t rain too much tomorrow maybe we’ll go to a garden center and get some annual plants for our garden and do some planting.

What are you doing this long weekend? It’s Victoria Day weekend here in Canada and Memorial Day in the USA.

I love this time of year

by

I love this time of year. The weather is just starting to get nice after a long cool winter and now the trees are beginning to fill in with leaves and flowers are beginning to bloom – I can’t imagine who wouldn’t love this time of year after taking a good look outside on a nice day.

My garden is just lovely. It changes almost daily. I bought one of those digital camcorders back in February just so that I could tape the silly things that my dog does and record how my garden changes throughout the year … I guess I should be out there taping daily or at least taking pictures at this time of year because every day I look out my window and new flowers are blooming or something else has grown or new leaves have opened up. It’s just constantly changing. It’s beautiful.

Do you enjoy Spring too? Do you love seeing things green up and begin to bloom as much as I do?
