So between last night and today,, all the flowerbeds have had a face lift or been completely dug up and replanted.

You are warm and caring, as well as resourceful and effective. You are actually one of the best categories of human beings on this test. You’re smart, but not too smart for your own good. I think you could benefit from some self-preservation because you are such an unselfish giver who is willing to help at a moment’s notice. Not that that’s a bad thing, just make some time for yourself now and then. The world would benefit from more people like you.

good day to be outside

Ellen | May 27, 2007 | 9:30 pm

Well today was a great day to be outside,  not overly hot a nice cool breeze going and the temp stayed around 17 degree’s so

all round a good day for outside.

So today we went up to Canadian Tire and bought a pump and got the bike tires all pumped up,  and then Loralee and I went to the green house and picked up a few seedlings and I got them planted in the window boxes (actually hung the planters on the side of the deck) and a couple pots . in the window boxes we put Fuchsia and some small white blooms , the fuchsia is the red and purple combination so it will look really nice with the white flowers.. one planter has the white ones on each end with a fuchsia in the middle and the other has the fuchsia on each end and the white in the middle. once the fuchsia starts to bloom I’ll get some pictures they should be really pretty together.  Then in the big pots I put some Pansy’s , purples and blues and some with white mixed in thru the purple or blue.

After we got that all done Tammy stopped in for a visit so I had a sit down with her on the deck and then we went to the store and picked up a frozen pizza for supper.

After supper Lora and I went for a bike ride and then once we got back from that we took Tango and headed up to Friendship park for a nice long stroll thru the woods.

all in all a nice way to spend a lazy Sunday  :)

Tomorrow I have to throw myself into housework and get some floors scrubbed and the bedroom cleaned and dusted.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!!  and remember

Holy cold !

Ellen | May 23, 2007 | 10:01 am

 I can’t get over how cold it is !! I guess spoiled by the nice weather we had while away, but come on ,, Mother Nature your  joke has gone far enough, its almost the end of May !  Lets turn the heat on !!

I want to get out to my flower beds,, they need to be weeded and cleaned up a bit,  I did get my seeds planted in the house , so another 5 weeks or so and they will be ready to plant in the beds.

I have a flower bed that I need to dig up its been empty for a couple years now but the stuff that was in it before formed all kinds of roots so the whole bed is root bound, that will be a chore to clean up !!

While we were away our TIVO acted up and I didn’t get any of my season finale’s so now Wendell has to try to find them and download them for me :(

Filed my new EI claim on Monday, so hopefully that won’t be to long getting going.

Wendell is back to work again but he’s not impressed with the cold !  We want Summer to come now!

Tango is happy to be home,  and he likes the new toy we brought home for him.

Giz enjoyed having the house to himself and Karla while we were gone now he’s back to “putting up” with his new brother. but I think he missed  him too:)

Karla is finding she is very tired a lot now, so she’s getting some extra sleep, not keeping the long hours she normally does.

So we’re getting back into a routine again.

Hope everyone has a great Hump Day !!
