Getting ready

Am I getting ready for spring and summer? I think so. I have put away some of my winter clothes including some riding clothes - it is just getting too warm.

My furnace has been off and on - sometimes it is a bit cool in the house in the morning.

My grass has started to turn green. Lawn care companies have appeared at my door wanting to aerate it. Much will be replaced in May so I say - no thanks. I have to get my hoses in order to do lots of watering with some new sod.

My new eaves trough is keeping busy during various rain events. I hope they are doing their job of getting the water away from my house.

I am continuing to get flowers organized for the church. I have brought home a lot of dead ones that have been sent on their way to the city’s composting. They were just too much for my own composter.

I am getting organized for my trip to the convent in Toronto. I am trying to fit in various activities before I go - several visits to Abracadabra, dinner with a friend, coffee with another friend, chats with my neighbour and her new puppy, etc.

House cleaning is on my list as well. I want to do a major clean before the hot weather hits. It is certainly satisfying to get it done if not during the process.
