It will be interesting to see how our weather goes here. April is usually so cold you can’t do much of anything in the gardens.

Wow! That’s a treat!

No kidding eh! lol

That doesn’t sound good

That is so awesome!!

It’s usually $30/fay for the sitters we use.

That looks awesome Amanda! I’m doing a pot roast here today.

No words.

You’ve got a gorgeous combination of colours going on there!

I’m having a tea break on the covered deck. It’s 72F/20C here in the shade and Elke and I have been enjoying this weather. Before I made tea I planted marigolds and transplanted some columbine. I love this kind of a day! Hope your day is going well too.

Wow! sorry about that!

Oh I’m sure that he wanted to call me and I would have talked with him if he had said something about me being awake to answer his message but what the heck eh! 😂

That is gorgeous! Congratulations and good luck with it.

Just as I was exchanging goodnight messages with one family member #1 son sends me an ‘I love you Mom’ msg and asked if I was awake. I jokingly said ‘no’ at which point he said ‘ok, I’ll talk to you tomorrow’. He’s single btw, if any young ladies are interested. 😂

The wind blew me indoors again. I’m going to need some time to warm up from that cold blast. I’ll be back after I make a nice hot pot of tea. ttfn

That’s really good news. I’m happy for you all.
