beans, big girl pants, blessed, digging, garden, moments, nature, peas, rain, raining, seeds, soil, weather, widow

up early yesterday, had a quick breakfast, and headed out to get some gardening done before the rain started…

brought out the baskets…

put on my gloves, gathered up seeds, soil, tags, and tools…

emptied one of the nine vegetable planter boxes and then as I dug in fertilizer and loosened up the soil, I removed a bit of soil from each pot and then added in fresh soil…

next I planted peas and beans in the area where they will be able to grow up the arch…

I also planted some in the file cabinet planter so they can grow up the other side of the arch…

the cucumbers and tomatoes will go into the remaining pots around the end of the month… I have a few butternut squash seeds to put in as well…

and then it started raining, so everything got put away and I came into the house, lol…

big girl pants, Costco, deliveries, flowers, garden, grandson, groceries, moments, nature, planting, plants, raining, Shelmerdine, shopping, widow

more deliveries yesterday…

Shelmerdine delivered plants and two new bird feeders… it was raining when the truck arrived and the driver offered to put everything in the garage, which was very nice…

not much later UPS arrived with the items I had purchased online from Costco about ten days before…

this one really made me laugh because the parcel came from Airdre, Alberta, rather than the store that is less than four kilometres from my house… don’t think I will be ordering from there again;-(…

today I called and spoke with someone at Costco to see if my grandson could shop using my card and it is possible, so I won’t have to get things sent all the way from Alberta… I will call and let them know the date he will arrive to shop each time, but that is much better than having things travel from two provinces away… the person I spoke with advised that they are currently testing Instacart…

shells…

big girl pants, East Coast, family, kids, moments, outside, raining, shells, sky, sun, sunshine, treasures, widow

this morning I put all the shells that my kids brought home from their trip to the East coast on the table outside to dry in the sun…

they have been soaking in soapy water for a few days to clean them and get rid of the fishy smell…

when I arrived home they were rather wet from the afternoon rainfall…

I was thinking they would have dried out and been cleansed by the sun…

right now it is pouring out and I am hoping that the shells don’t blow away in the storm…

wish me luck;-)…

marathon…

big girl pant, income tax, marathon, packing, raining, snow, vacation, widow

had to run across to CityPlace this morning and I caught the income tax mascot having a rest…

so cute…

as I left the office – for the next ten days – it was raining… the good part about that is that maybe most of the snow will melt away…

sure hope there’s going to be sunshine where I land…

always a bit of a marathon to get everything done and the space ready for someone else to use while you are away…

now to finish packing my carry on/purse…

water…

big girl pants, face, pond, raining, reflection, water, waterfall, widow

it has been raining since around four this afternoon so I decided to write about a more positive view of water for me, lol…

I love water… rain, not so much… don’t like to get my face wet…

early yesterday I spent a few minutes in the garden…

enjoyed the reflection of the solar lights in the pond…


the waterfall looks so lovely and watching and listening to it makes me happy…


last evening I went to aquasize with my friend… 

at one point water splashed up onto my face and into my ear… yuck… 

I have come a long way because at one time I would have got out of the pool, dried my face, and not gone back in… 

with those darn big girl pants, I just wiped my face with my hands and carried on… although I did complain about it;-)…
