been working on the seedling project… this is interesting because I had decided not to start any this year, lol…

not long ago I picked up a grow-light and finally got it up in the den…

for the last few weeks I’ve been collecting toilet paper rolls and cutting them down to be seed containers…

spent time putting them in the bins to keep them together, and filling them with soil…

next will be wetting them down so they will be ready for seeds in a week or so…

getting excited for spring and time in the garden…

shorts…

went to Costco for four things, hahaha…

came home with three of them and just a few other things…

including leggings that I had picked up a while ago, and loved, in a different colour… shorts with side pockets (spring must be coming, right!), two v-neck tops… salad, and maybe a fun snack;-)…

braver…

spent a good portion of Thursday out and about shopping… I am getting much braver these days although I still wear a mask everywhere…

were in Home Depot and Rona, getting bits and pieces to fix a few things in the house… then we wandered up and down every aisle at Costco and picked up a few items…

our final stop was Safeway where I was able to obtain some flowering plants and a few bunches of flowers…

and everyone knows they make me happy, lol…

succulents…

had a tasty snack on our way to Shelmerdine… haven’t had fresh McDonald’s French fries in I don’t know how long… had a couple of nuggets to go with them, but it was the fries that made my day;-)…

had fun wandering amongst the plants… it was surprising how many varieties of succulents were available…

here’s a photo my friend sent of the two that she picked up and transplanted;-)…

got a few photos of some of their bonsais to share with my grandson…

lovely to spend a bit of time enjoying the greenhouse and I even left without purchasing anything…

when I was searching the internet for a link to their website, I came across this great information on plant care;-)…

fries and gardens… doesn’t get much better than that…

thrift…

great excitement…

got a call from my next door neighbour… we are both readers and share books on a regular basis…

she was at a thrift store and found books by one of our favourite authors… she wanted to check to see if we had read all the ones that were available…

we chatted and went through the list that I’ve made as I’ve read the books… I used the list inside one of the covers and have noted each book we’ve read…

we discovered six… yay…

once she dropped them off, I went through the list and marked the books in order of where they are on the list, which is the order I will read them… I also included three that I had just purchased…

so, you may not hear from me for a while, lol…

gnocchi…

had a good time at aquasize and then we took a drive to DeLuca’s…

I got spinach wraps, gnocchi, canned tomatoes and two different types of bread…

apparently I am still craving bread, lol… now I just need to learn how to cook the gnocchi…

once home I made two little peanut butter and banana sandwiches for my lunch…

they were very tasty…

cheers…

Sunday we opened gifts over the internet, lol…

we always like to cheers together and being 1330 miles apart doesn’t stop us although it took a bit of direction from the kids for me to get my mug in the right spot, lol…

there were lots of treats and great minds thinking alike as we all opened Chapters/Indigo cards…

technology has made such a difference in our lives…

what a treat;-)…

stamps…

I’ve been waiting and waiting for stamps to arrive from Canada Post…

was able to drop some items in the mail a few days ago, but still need two stamps…

usually they arrive quickly, so I’ve been wondering what the problem was…

for whatever reason, I wasn’t sleeping, so went online around 2 am and noticed there were things in my Canada Post cart😳…

apparently, I didn’t finish the purchase all those days ago😂…

now they’ve been ordered and should really arrive soon…

eventually…

out and about today!

well, I went to Canadian Tire and Subway, lol…

my grandson picked me up and once we were in the store we asked for help finding the water shoes I was looking for… the young man we dealt with didn’t seem to be having a good day… he appeared a bit unfriendly, but eventually did produce the shoes…

then, in another section of the store, the woman helping us was very knowledgeable and friendly and found what I needed quickly;-)…

and the cashier was pleasant, so all in all a good experience… and the store wasn’t crazy busy…

at the sandwich store, the young woman we dealt with was very helpful even though we caused her some confusion with our order, but she figured it out…

we enjoyed our subs when we got home…

a couple of jobs around the house and off he went;-)… then I had a nap😂…

smoked…

I love smoked Goldeye and don’t have it too often…

yesterday, when I was out with a friend we stopped in at Gimli Fish Market and I was able to pick one up…

today, I made Goldeye cream cheese for the future and had Goldeye with cucumber and onion salad for my lunch…

delicious, what a treat;-)…
