Sun and blue sky....Nice

Ahhhhh..... it's an absolutely beautiful day today, and I have been outside a few times this morning working in the little garden. There is so much of what I call quack grass, though I'm sure it has a proper name. It has roots that run all over the place, and when I am lucky I can pull up more than a foot of the stuff. That's when I am lucky. Most of the time it is one or two at a time. But gradually I am getting the garden spiffy, though my body needs a bit of a rest afterwards. Work a half hour, rest a half hour. That's the rule for fibro, but I get so engaged that I forget. It makes me sore but also gives me a feeling of accomplishment.

The Captain has gone off to the camp for a couple of days, and I laugh at myself when I check the clock to see what time it is.......I don't have to get lunch ready, or supper or whatever. I am not on the clock......nice! I even have bread on the go, though the bread maker is doing all the work. My goodness, I am so full of energy today I don't know what to do with myself. It is only noon!

Now it is Monday, Victoria Day in Canada, and it is another lovely day, after rain yesterday. The weekend was a little busy, and I didn't get any outdoor work done. I have done a bit this morning, but I swear that if you pull a weed and turn around three times, and look, there is another one to take its place. It a little hard on the old neck and back but......you know, gotta keep going. 


This branch had to be cut off unfortunately. We are
having the house painted and it's too close to the wall.

.Getting there slowly but surely ......


The blossoms are blowing off. They don't last too long
especially when it is windy

These little beauties come up now every year.
I really like them.

I am so thankful that Spring has finally arrived. There is nothing like a time outside to
lift one's spirits, unless it is a time spent with special friends, and lots of hugs to go
around.

  1. Bonnie, I like seeing all your green sprouts and your blossoming/blooming things. Warmer, sunnier weather does give us more energy. Take care of yourself!

    1. Thank you Barb.I have to remember to take rest periods often, but I just get so involved I forget, then I go to get up and realize I have gone too long.

  2. I'm glad you made it out to enjoy some sun and fresh air. :)
    (I know what you mean about the weeds, but sometimes I can't bear to pull them out - especially if they are the only green/blossom around!)

    1. Thank you Ruth. It is just a rather rag tag blog of thoughts that pop into my mind. I am not a daily blogger, as some days there are few thoughts.

  4. Love your photos and your sunny meanderings in May. Do your pansies come up by themselves every year? Miraculous! I have to buy new plants come each April - but they sure brighten my mood.

    1. Yes, roughwighting..they seem to come up in a scattered fashion. This year a couple came up in the lawn, and I popped them back into the garden. I think I planted them 3 years ago, and some have come up each year. I think I will put a few more in this year. They are so pretty.

  5. Sorry I'm so late getting to this, Bonnie, but I'm glad spring arrived at last for you. Your flowers are gorgeous and I sympathise with the weeding efforts. In the UK what you describe is called couch grass and it's so difficult to get rid of. :(
