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…

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…

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…

visit…

had a lovely visit with a young friend who has gone through a lot recently…

it was good to spend some time together…

spent a few minutes in the garden when I got home from work… the team had been in and put in the pump, made spaces for plants and moved everything off the back deck… there are a variety of edging for me to choose from and a sample of mulch to think about…

stopped in at Rona tonight and saw a few of George’s co-workers… made me feel sad…

here’s a picture of a hosta covered in water drops…

received a cheque last week from the CRA… it was a refund for 2012 taxes for George… next year I won’t need to have a tax form done for him…

cheque…

after work tonight I stopped in at the Credit Union to deposit the cheque into the Estate Account as I don’t have a debit card for that account…

a few weeks ago I received a couple of cheques from Sun Life made out to the Estate as well… they are providing medical/dental coverage for me for a two year period through Rona where George worked… whenever they send anything it is always to the Estate… most people only have an Estate account for a year but I will need to keep this one for the next couple…

I am still in a state of flux because my employer’s insurance company will not take me on, as I refused the insurance when I started working there, as George’s insurance was quite good… we had gone through a period where we both had insurance and it caused nothing but hassles, so I gave that insurance up and only used his, which worked very well…

now I have to get this sorted out before next March… another job for those big girl pants… no doubt it will involve many phone calls with a variety of people… not looking forward to the process…

been missing George a fair bit lately… I talk about him a lot, which can sometimes freak people out, but I don’t want to just leave him out of my life… he is still an important piece of it… I lived longer with him, than without him…

but I did get some American money for the cruise…

spring???

went to Rona and got a new folding lounger for the deck outside the patio doors… been using a wooden rocker there but it just isn’t comfortable when I’m reading a book and want to put my feet up… this one will be great and I might even try sleeping in it tonight to see what that does for my back… the young woman at the Service desk knew who I was right away, which is becoming more unusual as staff change on a frequent basis… when I was in the store the other day, the person who was helping me in Hardware didn’t know who George was… felt kind of sad about that…

then we went for a pedicure… which was actually quite good for my back as I was sitting up for an hour, even if I was jerking my feet around as my toes were pampered… I have very sensitive feet, lol… Crystal and Cyndi get quite a kick out of the whole process…

just came in from a hot tub… while I was out there I could hear gaggles of geese flying over in the dark, although I couldn’t spot any of them… but certainly a sound that makes one think of Spring…

and, even more exciting… the solar light by the pond was flickering… which means that the snow is nearly gone by the pond, and the sun s getting strong enough to give it a charge…  sadly my dragonflies don’t seem to be lighting up…

maybe Spring is really on the way…

so, had in my mind that I would Google whether it has ever snowed here on April 18th… seemed like a simple thing, but I have now spent an hour trying to get the information…

found a nice chart on weatherspark.com but couldn’t copy it into the blog… anyway, it basically said that it should be way warmer than it is… nothing about snow, lol…

tomorrow is supposed to be sunny with a few clouds with the temperature going to plus 3 Celsius… let’s hope there is no snow…

I will be sixty-two… today at work we celebrated three birthdays… it is quite amazing to me that with only 12 people on staff, 3 of us have our birthdays in one week… there was singing, icing topped muffins and cute little flower arrangements for each of us…

my lovely birthday flowers...

later I went for a birthday lunch with another friend who shares an April birthday… it was very pleasant to spend time with them and enjoy lunch at Bistro Dansk in Wolseley…

at the end of the day on our way home we stopped by Rona for a few items for the office and I think I found a lounge chair for the deck so will have to go back in the next few days to pick that up…

missing my beloved… he always made my birthday a special event…
