had a great day on Tuesday…

worked on homemade spaghetti sauce for a good portion of the day…

watched chickadees, nuthatches, and squirrels out the front window…

set the table for supper with the kids and tidied the house in preparation for the cleaners…

finished getting the rest of supper ready and had a great visit over the meal…

and they fixed the fire pit…

propane…

early in the summer we finally found the coloured glass for the fire pit…

shortly after that it ran out of propane so we had to get the tank filled…

then it was warm, so I didn’t use it…

a while ago, I tried to turn it on and discovered there was a problem with the ignition system…

the kids figured out the problem, consulted with electricians and eventually ordered the required piece…

took some time, but it finally arrived…

we took out the tank and brought the fire pit into the kitchen… pieces came off and then we spotted a wasp nest… thought they were dead, but then they started to move… quickly it got put outside, spray was applied and it was left out there….

tonight, the stars aligned, and after some serious activity on the deck, it is working again…

yay, yay, yay…

I was working in the kitchen while they did most of the decorating…

we got a few little jobs done around the house and had a nice supper…

once they headed home I got into my jammies and climbed into bed…

had a very full week and today was busy too…

spent a few hours at work and the little boys met me there…

we went to the Zoo for the afternoon… had a wonderful time… focussed on the Journey to Churchill… saw most of the bears and got to sit beside Hudson for a few minutes…

the boys were amazing and we had tons of fun…

came home and met up with mom and the biggest boy…

started out the day by planting a cherry tomato before I headed off to work…

it was a gorgeous morning and I was happy to have the few minutes to get my hands in the dirt and water everything…

planned to come home and do more planting, but got a call around 3 advising of a band concert…

in the end, went to a soccer game for the youngest grandson, for about five minutes, then on to the band concert, where during a jazz band performance our guy played a super solo…

20140604-231222-83542380.jpgthe sky was amazing and just as the game ended, the raindrops started… happily we were safely in the car when the five minute downpour let loose…

busy day…
