Those April showers

Happy Sunday everyone! It's a dark and rainy morning. We've had rain for the past two days. It's OK, we all know what those April showers bring 🌷🌸🌺

This past week was good although it brought some unexpected family challenges. The last couple of days have been somewhat unsettling but as the saying goes...that too shall pass. I am grateful for Russell and our pooches who always keep me grounded during these times. 

Our week started with the sighting of a gorgeous fox staring at us through the side gate last Monday morning at around 7:30 am. Merlot and Sherlock were the first to spot it, of course. I had never seen a fox that up close. We are confident he couldn't get into our backyard unless he jumped the fence but we are vigilant just the same.

We got a lot of yard work done. Our flower beds are cleaned up and everything is popping up. Next on the agenda is to remove the soil from the VegTrug so we can move it to another location before our landscaping work begins. I also have to empty all four wood barrel planters as we will move those also. I will attempt to do that this week. 

We had a number of walks by the lake. It was quite amazing to see how busy the beavers were during the Winter. So many trees that were along the lake are now reduced to small trunks.

Russell assembled our new deck couch and our boys love it! We are so pleased with it and it looks really nice. We are waiting on the delivery of a small coffee table to compliment it. 

Hockey fever is still going strong. Our Habs had an amazing win on Friday. Next game is tonight. Go Habs Go....and yes, the Quebec language watchdog says it's OK to use that expression that has been rooted in our history for decades.

Our boys are doing well. It was one year ago on April 23 that we met them "formally" and got to hold them in our arms for the first time. It was during a conformation class that Myriam was teaching. That night, those little darlings stole our hearts 💕

That's my blog for this last Sunday of April. Have a good week everyone!

Merlot is as charming now as he was
the first time we held him in our 
arms...he too stole our hearts
on April 23, 2024.

Chilling on the deck watching
the grass grow....where did all 
those squirrels go!?

Sherlock is a snuggler and a true
Mommy's boy!

Merlot always seems to have a
different perspective on his world...
