Happy Sunday everyone! It's a cloudy morning, a bit on the cool side. I'm longing for those warm days when morning coffee belongs outside without having to reach for a sweater. Summer has not arrived yet.
This past week was good. We got quite a bit of work done outside. We are still attempting to grow some grass in the high-traffic areas used by our boys. We've been using baby gates to section off those areas to give the grass a fighting chance. Throughout the day, we open up everything to give the pooches a good run around. It's a bit of a balancing act between keeping the lawn healthy and making sure Sherlock and Merlot have plenty of space to run.
We are also redoing our back garden bed. Not much has been growing lately, likely because the weeds have been winning the battle and the soil has seen better days. At first, it sounded like a simple project. But I quickly realized that it wasn't. Thanks to Russell for helping me deal with the first step in this makeover...clearing out the old plants, weeds and whatever else decided to take up residence. I'm giving myself three weeks to complete this project.
Friday brought the end of the road for the Montreal Canadiens. While the season didn't end the way fans had hoped, they gave us one heck of a ride. They brought energy, hope and passion to the entire province. Cheers to a well done journey and to what's ahead next season!
I leave you with some photos and videos taken last week. Look closely, something's changed in the blog. Have a great week everyone and hello June!
