had a great day in the garden on Sunday…

spent most of it on the deck, reading in the sunshine…

I also spent time working at the pond… we tried to take off the tarp a few days ago but it was too heavy as it still had a lot of water and a ton of soggy leaves in it… the plan was to wait for another person to help us…

I put the pump in the pond again… the other day when I tried this the hose popped off and gave me a pond-water shower;-(… this time I got rid of most of the water… then I put it into the tarp and got a fair bit of water out of it…

after that I was able to drag it out of the pond and bag the leaves… they filled half of a garbage can, lol…

then the tarp was spread out in the grass, hopefully drying, so it can be folded up and put away…

maybe in the next few days I will vacuum the bottom of the pond and fill it with water…

chill…

had a bit of fun in the garden Monday…

there was a chill in the air, but we were able to install the arch in the side garden, and then I put up the trellises on the planter boxes…

the arch fits perfectly and it will be exciting to see what will grow up and over the path;-)…

while I was outside I managed to get the slinky back on the bird feeder pole and flipped the water barrel over…

started the day planting some tomato seeds and trying again with the datura, which hadn’t started a single sprout…

we will see if there are any sprouts this time… maybe one day it will be warm enough to plant outside, lol…

craziness…

apparently, big girl pants, blessed, chairs, deck, garden, moments, organized, sun, sunshine, swept, tarp, weather, widow

spent time in the garden because the sun was shining… and apparently that might not be the case for the next week…

enjoyed my book, even though I wore my jacket and had a blanket over my legs… mornings are always warmer on the deck than the weather reports, as the sun beats down on it…

later in the day I removed the tarp from the chairs and small tables on the back deck, folded it up and put it away in the garage…

I swept off the deck, placed two chairs on it, and moved the two others to the hot tub area…

starting to get organized out there…

downer…

I’ve spent the last few days sitting in the living room reading and enjoying my flowers…

it has been a bit rainy and overcast and cool … a bit of a downer…

I am waiting for it to get sunny and warm again…

took all the pieces of the arch out onto the deck and finished putting it together…




tightened all the screws and voila… done…

it looks very tall, and should work perfectly… sure hope it fits…

had to lay it down as the wind was picking up and I didn’t want it to fall over before it made it to its new home, lol…

still waiting for the last of the snow to melt so we can try it out…

Tuesday, the patio door was open for a good portion of the day… guess it is time to connect the spring again…

always such a treat when that day arrives each spring… spent a good portion of the day sitting on the deck…

started the morning in one of the new deck chairs… after I pulled out one of the cushions from the garage… needed a blanket and jacket, but the sun was shining;-)…

then I brought out the wicker set from under the tarp on the back deck… I purchased and put them together last year…

and got very comfortable… by that time the jacket was off and the blanket put to the side…

wonderful way to spend the first day that was warm and sunny enough to be outdoors…

eventually…

aquasize, big girl pants, blessed, boots, feet, moments, nature, sandals, shovelling, snow, Spring, weather, widow, wore

this week we went to aquasize on Tuesday…

this is what I wore on my feet…

first time this year;-)… when I worked I wore sandals year round, but now they come out in the Spring and are around until the first snow…

on Wednesday, I stepped outside into this…

but it was back to my boots as I shovelled the sidewalk…
