Happy Sunday everyone! It is not pretty out there, we have freezing rain and our back steps are already icy. Russell just put our crampons back on. If you're out and about, be careful.
This past week was good and busy. We met with four landscaping companies to go over some ideas for redesigning part of our backyard. Tomorrow, we meet with one last company then we will review their quotes and decide on what to do, with whom. Whatever we do, it will most likely be done after our trip to Italy. The next few months could be busy and fun!
Our weather has been all over the place. Yesterday, we woke up to a bit of snow. I have to admit that it was a nice reprieve from having to deal with daily muck. Merlot and Sherlock were acting as if they had never seen snow before. They are such crazy puppies!
Sherlock is obsessed with the plush toys that my friend Lori brought last week. He likes to go around in circles with one in his mouth. It seems to never leave his side. It's too funny to watch. Merlot likes them too but his "go to" toy is the giraffe. We still do a bit training with them, just to keep them on their toes.
We got ourselves a big couch for our deck, big enough for the four of us. We are itching for some consistent warm weather and resume our deck time. Yesterday, we noticed how yellow the goldfinches are turning. A sure sign that Spring is on the way.
Our trip to Italy is just a little over seven weeks away. We are getting excited. Russell has pretty well figured out what clothes he will bring. I'm half way there.
Those are my little news. It will be a quiet Sunday, with a Habs game at 1 pm. As we are about to say goodbye to March, I reflect on how quickly that month went by. It seems like a big blur. Have a great week everyone!
