Happy Sunday everyone! A very big day for all Habs fans! Round one, game one of the playoffs. Go Habs Go!
This past week was good although somewhat rainy. That's OK. It gave me a chance to run a whole bunch of errands that I've been putting off for a while, those that require driving all over the place. I got a bit of Spring cleaning done in the house. I also purged our closets and made a healthy clothing donation to NOVA. Good job done!
Our weather turned really nice and warm on Friday and Saturday. We got more yard work done and spent time on the deck. It looks like the sod we planted last year survived the Winter. We will have to seed some areas in the back yard though. It seems to be a yearly process.
Russell is over his cold, finally. He cleaned his barbecues and smoked our first chicken wings of the season. They were so delicious! Next on his "to do" list is to stain our backyard bench and deck table.
Merlot & Sherlock are doing well. I created another maze for them and they caught on very quickly. Through ChatGPT, Russell found me some new designs 😁 Lots of fun on the horizon. I'm also spending time with both doing some basic training/fitness exercises that I learned from Fun Fit Canin. Each day brings a new challenge and they both love it! They are such good boys and have become quite bonded, more so in the past few months. It's nice to see.
As we move into a new season, we look forward to spending more time outdoors, embracing the fresh air and longer days. The other day, I picked up a pot of pansies, a small but cheerful glimpse of what's ahead.
That's my blog for today. This coming week, we get the snow tires off. It's time. Sherlock also has a vet appointment for bloodwork in advance of his OFA testing/dental cleaning in a few weeks.
Have a great week everyone! Let's go Habs!
