filled nine boxes with books a few days ago…

the computer room looks like a bomb went off in it, so I am rather pleased to have started the cleanup process…

happily, it was easy to pack them up… I spent many years collecting books on religion, feminism and spirituality… now seems like a good time to pass them along to someone else…

I also gathered many books on children and worship…

planning to drop them off at the Fire Station in the next while…

put aside a few that covered Celtic writings…

once I find a few more empty boxes I will continue with the decluttering;-)…

looking forward to having shelves with space on them, not crammed with books I no longer read…

little bit jealous this afternoon…

walked by the window and noticed this cat laying in the sun on the back deck…

was wishing I could have been there but the yard hasn’t been raked or the furniture moved and cleaned…

and it wasn’t quite warm enough for me to get out there and clean it up…

cleanup…

another wonderful day…

grandson slept over… we made breakfast and then spent a few hours doing a cleanup in the computer room… filled bags of garbage, recycling and a few boxes of giveaways…

my grandson figured out how to get my 500 plus songs onto Google Play… it took about four hours… I am so happy to have them available…

he took out all the trash and then we ran over to Best Buy to pick up a few more plugs for my Google Home… had lunch at Freshii and then back home to connect one of the plugs…

the Himalayan Salt Lamp is now able to turn on and off by voice…

then my work computer person came over and moved computers, drives, pictures and got Outlook working for me… I am very pleased…

now to rest;-)…

weekend…

I should be completely worn out because it’s been such a busy weekend… but I’m not…

up and out for an early morning hot tub and took a picture of the garden before I came in…

it needs the spring cleanup…

was picked up and met the rest of the family for dimsum… this is one of our traditions when my sister-in-law comes to town… and we all love it… well most of the time… sometimes the younger ones don’t want to have anything, but another time they eat everything in sight… 

that black blob on the bottom right is the youngest not participating, lol… but he did eat…

my oldest grandson came home with me and did some cleanup in the garden, although it was rather cold… he raked and swept and moved furniture and took dead plants to the composting barrels… then we sat down at his suggestion, and made a list of projects for the garden this summer…

we didn’t get everything we wanted done today, but it looks much more ready to be in…

I am so blessed to have this young man help me with the garden maintenance… and of course my son-in-law does lots of the work with the ponds;-)…

looking forward to warm days and hours spent by the pond…

woke up to a cool looking sky out the window … the clouds made an interesting design…

  

had a good time with my grandson… he came over around lunchtime to help me in the garden… 

made his favourite red curry lentils for lunch and then we got to work…

  
raked up all the leaves and pulled up lots of dead grass… filled three yard waste bags…

while he finished up, I put the furniture into its usual arrangement and cleaned the tables…

then we moved the rocks that came out of the pond in the Fall…  we are going to reset them to have a better look… will probably be getting rounded rocks because the flat ones just don’t look right around the edge of the pond…

looks good back there now… hopefully the temperature will perk up and I’ll be able to sit out in the next few days…

  
he got the front yard cleaned up as well… next time we are going to tackle the front flower beds…

enjoy getting to spend time with him…

working outside reminded me of my walk through the woods yesterday…

  
similar type weather… made me think of one of the lovely cards I received for my birthday… it is a copy of a friend’s painting…

  

bit more sunshine in that picture, lol…
