My Day-To-Day Photos

With the garden being so thoroughly weeded, (although I can see new little stinkers poking up here and there) I am able to just walk through the yard and enjoy. I'm aiming to relax today, so it just a few basics to stay on top of things.  Amy is at the lake, so we'll head there after lunch today for a visit and then tomorrow, the plan is to take the day off and head to Regina to celebrate our 20th anniversary.        

With so much on the go, it's easy to forget to blog.  But at least I'm not forgetting to take the photos. Jared is learning to mow the lawn.  It would go better if he could figure out it is not a race car. Uncle Mike was visiting and so here we are starting a project that has bee thought about 6 years, a concrete sidewalk and driveway.  Although, the driveway will have to get done in August. There have been plenty of gorgeous mornings for walks. We decided to celebrate Canada Day by first visiting Ituna, a town I'd never been to before.

Cherries are just about in full blossom. Getting the kids to come out to the garden isn't always the easiest task.  There is, of course, always something else they'd rather be doing. But not only do I need their help at this busy time of year, I love having them outside with me. I was much the same way as a kid, as the years have gone by, what I thought was stupid hard work, has transformed into lovely memories and more importantly, a skill set and a desire to enjoy life through gardening. I hope it will transform into a gift for them one day as well.       A surprise in the garden by the gate. Crocuses? A beautiful sunset on a drive home one evening.

It's getting nicer outside, so this will be a much more common sight!
