One point closer

Happy Sunday everyone! It smells like Spring out there. Yesterday, I noticed that some of our Daylilies are starting to come up. 

This past week was good. We didn't do too much. It's this time of year where you itch to do some yard work but it's still too wet to do anything. In preparation for our landscaping work in late June, we will have to move everything from our existing patio to somewhere on the grass. We have three barbecues to move and my VegTrug. We will attempt to do all this before our trip to Italy.

Hockey fever is very much in the air. The Montreal Canadiens are one point closer to clinching a spot in the playoffs. We were hoping it would have happened by now but the hockey gods were not on our side. Yesterday I found myself studying the NHL standings very carefully. We are so close.

Russell had one last physio appointment on Friday. The final knee flexion measurement is 125 compared to 124 for the right knee, which was done six years ago. It's hard to get any better than that. Well done Russell, you're all set for walking the streets of Italy!

My mom's last living sister passed away yesterday. She was 98.  She never married or had children. She loved her nephews and nieces as if they were her own. That's the end of the line on my mom's side. Yesterday, we were listening to a new oldies music station and the song "Que Sera Sera" played. The last time I heard that song was at my mom's funeral service in 2018. It was her favorite song and her palliative care attendants would sing it to her. It was a tad nostalgic to hear that song again, on that particular day.

Our boys are doing well. As I'm writing this blog, Sherlock is still doing his walkabout in the kitchen with the bull in his mouth. It is seriously funny to watch. Merlot is just chilling. It is bath day for them today. 

That's my blog on this gloomy Sunday. I realized yesterday that Easter is next weekend. With everything going on in the world and in sports, it skipped my mind completely.  Have a great week everyone! 

Morning rituals....Sherlock on his 
walkabout with his bull and Merlot
lounging on lookout duty.

Wednesday morning rough housing in the
fresh snow blanketing the backyard.

...and poof, Thursday morning 
dancing with no snow...what a 
difference a day makes.

TV time on my lap, Sherlock 
looking cheeky.

Merlot has his preferred spots in the TV room...
close beside me on floor.

Sherlock and his 'bull', this toy has lots of 
miles on it as he carries it everywhere!

Spicy and Cooper take time out to relax on a
walk at Edgewater Park, June 29th, 2019.
