had a productive day…

first thing in the morning I gathered up all the Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations and packaged them up into their boxes…

the boxes are still open and will remain that way for a few days, in case something got missed, lol…

then I went out and turned on the tap on the front yard rain barrel to empty it… next step will be to flip it over for the winter…

later on, I went through the bedroom closet and packed away the summer clothes for the winter and filled a box with pass-alongs…

always pleased when the sorting goes easily;-)…

on Saturday we went shopping at Princess Auto… lots of fun wandering around to see what they had…

in the process I found a light for the bedroom closet… there is no power in there and it is rather dull, lol…

this light is charged via usb and it is motion activated… didn’t take too long to charge it and get it installed…

I think it is going to be wonderful;-)…

spent time in the computer room again yesterday and found additional items for the giveaway collection… happily there were a number of Christmas treasures amongst them…

eventually I was able to bring down the last of the boxes… it was filled with books and was really heavy…

added it to all the other items and had quite the pile…

set the alarm and got up early this morning to get everything onto the steps before eight… in the dark, sigh…

took a while to get them all out there, lol, and by nine they were gone…

it sure feels great to have the closet cleaned out and more space…

I don’t know about you, but when I go to clean out a closet or drawer, sometimes it works and other times I seem unable to cull anything…

today I was successful in dealing with my bedroom closet… I’ve realized that I don’t really need 6 pairs of dress pants or 15 tops for work, lol…

this closet is very small so anything I can do to make room will be very helpful;-)…

I packed up twenty pieces and then reorganized the space they opened up…

yay for me;-)…

I spent the entire day working on a closet that I’ve been ignoring for years…

packed up a number of things; some games and toys going to someone I know who has people in mind; a picture for my grandson, and items to be given away…

I’ve also found a few things which I am going to put online… one is the massage table we covered with glass… I don’t need it and it is silly to keep it underneath a counter, lol…

I’ve done laundry, moved items to different areas, reorganized clothes and thrown items into the garbage… and found a few items that have been lost;-)…

I ordered sushi from one of my favourite places – Tokyo Sushi – which I didn’t know was available through SkipTheDishes… got enough for lunch and supper… it was the only break I took all day… I ordered the sushi pizza which is delicious… haven’t found any place else that makes it this good…

tomorrow I will finish… the closet and the sushi;-)…

very full day…

started this morning when I went through the closet and colour-blocked the clothes… in the process filled another pass-me-over box…

lots of purple, lol…

also made another arrangement of flowers… decided I want some in every room…

ordered lunch from my favourite dimsum restaurant before heading out to do errands… I love shrimp dumplings and stuffed eggplant and it was delicious and filled me up…

beautiful temperature out and on my way home took this picture of the water at the end of the street…

picked up a cute wine rack… now have to fill it… put everything away, had a nap and watched some tv…

have added some chemicals to the hot tub, but had to stop when the snow started coming down like crazy…

great supper of leftovers… now to decide whether to go out for a hot tub in all that fresh snow, or not, lol…

had brunch out with friends and then walked home in the sunshine…

wore a light jacket and took a few pictures along the way…

this was the pool that was at the end of the street…

20140406-205125.jpg had to do a bit of fancy footwork to make my way around it, lol…

spent some some cleaning out the last bit of a closet upstairs and I was able to divest myself of a box full of books and other bits and pieces… also cleaned up a corner of the computer room and put my collection of gift bags and tissue paper into the closet… more space in the room, yay…

later in the day the sun was shining into the living room and I got this shot of the couch and cushion glittering…

20140406-205655.jpgmy daughter and her boys came for dinner and we had tacos… the most exciting thing was that the littlest guy had meat on all of his tacos… maybe we are moving out of the no meat phase…

finally, I took this shot of the Japanese Maple, which at Christmas time, didn’t have a single leaf on it…

spent time doing some spring cleaning over the weekend…

got a Corning ware pot cleaned which has been covered in grunge for months…

then I emptied out a hall closet, packing up nearly everything that was in it to give away… yay me…

put away some last bits of Christmas decorations, finally… seems easier to do these jobs when I have helpers…

finally when my boys were here we took six boxes of books to the fire station for the Children’s Hospital Book Mart…

the day was cold, but sunny… until about 4, when snow started falling and blowing… at some points during dinner we couldn’t see the house across the street…

before the kids left they had to shovel the sidewalk so I don’t have to walk through a huge pile of snow in the morning…

and I am wearing my new bracelet which my grandson made especially for me…

put out the garbage and watched a bit of tv… then spent the morning working in the front flower beds with two great helpers… got a lot done… the wild roses are gone for now and we moved the woman water feature into one of the beds…

the side bed got weeded and we divided and moved a hosta… then after they left I sat in the garden and read for a while… spent the rest of the day waiting for someone to come and fix the bathroom door in the basement… never did show up…

my lovely young carpenter friend came by to put a last coat of paint on the closet that George started four or five years ago… Sunday we are going to pick up doors for him to install and he is going to put the trim up around the back door too…

then the kids arrived and Jeff got the water running in the fountain… he headed to work and we headed to their house for a sleepover… picked up a few groceries and a new umbrella for the deck…

now to bed, I’m tired:-)…

spent a good portion of this beautiful day in the side garden…

started weeding just after nine… worked for a bit, had a rest, worked a bit more, and so on and so on…

before weeding...

at one point I stopped to show someone the closet that needs doors… nice to have a little break… set out a chair and cushion on the back deck which has been moved forward about a foot and a half… wasn’t going to sit out there, but decided it would be lovely to sit in the shade…

after weeding for half an hour...

filled three pails with weeds… probably have another three to go…

George worked really hard in that garden, sigh…

I was missing him all day as I was wearing those big girl pants…

ran to Rona and got a few more things to plant… there are two planters on the wall that need something in them and a couple of other things jumped off the shelves into my cart, lol…

then I had the water tested, ran a few errands, came home and added the necessary chemicals to the hot tub…
