Happy Sunday everyone! We want to wish a wonderful Mother's Day to all the moms out there. May this day be special in every way. A loving Mother's Day wish also goes to all pet moms. You are all exceptional. I truly miss sharing this day with Cooper and Spicy, they hold such a special place in my heart 💖 Russell and I also have heartfelt thoughts for both our moms who are no longer with us. We miss them always, more so on this day.
This past week was good. We got more work done outside. Russell cut the grass for the first time and seeded the backyard. Our front lawn needs a serious top dressing. We will be getting that done in the next week or so. Russell also teak oiled our deck table and chairs. They look brand new. I planted the herbs in the VegTrug...my usual selection of coriander, Italian parsley, basil and chives. I planted moroccan mint in a pot as it would be too invasive in the trug. Yesterday, I bought a few planters for the front of the house and deck. I also planted geraniums in the front barrels. My gardening is basically done for the season! Everything is looking good and colourful.
We got our grooming tub installed in the laundry room. I will post photos next week. It's looking good and it will be so much easier to groom our pooches.
On Thursday, our good friend Errol stopped by to drop off two Dipladenia plants, pink and white. He said it was from our kids...such a thoughtful gesture. We would have never met him if it hadn't been for our walks at the park with Cooper and Spicy.
We got to see some of the Northern Lights from our backyard on Friday night. Despite the light pollution, it was quite spectacular to watch.
We have another dog show coming up this coming weekend, starting Friday. We will get to see our boys in action. It will be wonderful to see them again. Soon, I will post photos.....just keeping the suspense going a little longer 😊 Friday will also mark what would have been Cooper's 13th birthday. It will be a day filled with fond memories of our sweet boy 💝
That's my blog for today. Since it is Mother's Day, I am indulging myself by including photos of me and our duo. Have a great week everyone!
