Sights and sounds of spring: past and present

Walking through my neighbourhood.
I see left over leaves from the fall and maybe some garbage blown into them.
Trees and grass and other flowering things - this is still waiting to happen.

I can see my mom out in the garden - tidying up and planning.
After this outdoor activity, getting cleaned up and changed.
Maybe some sewing in her little room or knitting by the TV.

Later on, completing her Montreal Gazette crossword puzzle at her big desk.

Looking at her calendar for the next week's activities.
- Curling Club closing - any prizes?
- bridge game
- trip to Walmart

Later on there are preparations for dinner which is heated up in the toaster oven.

A glass of sherry and a gripping library mystery book - all shared in her favourite chair.

After supper and watching Coronation Street and Jeopardy, tidying up and turning off the lights.

A leisurely bath and then reading in bed and then good night.
