Warm Weather = Yard Work

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday! Another warm day on the way, we'll take it! 

This past week was good. Everybody is now over the ice storm and dealing with the consequences. For many, there's been a lot of damage. We were lucky on that front. As we drove around the neighbourhood, we could see how many trees fell. Not a pretty sight.

On Friday, I got a lot of yard work done. All the flower beds are clean, free of leaves and twigs. I picked up a number of small branches that broke during the storm. I saw lots of buds and growth. Our grass is looking good, starting to turn green already. It feels good.

Our weather was spectacular. We spent quite a bit of time on the deck. Another good feeling. Cooper and Spicy resumed their favorite habit of keeping an eye out for the squirrels. They also chased them in the yard. They are happy pooches 💗

Yesterday, we went for a walk by the lake and guess who we ran into? Mr. Errol! We hadn't seen him since late last Fall. It was his first time back at the park after a long Winter. It was so nice seeing him again.  We have been in touch through Facebook but nothing beats the face to face! Cooper & Spicy recognized him right away and just sat there as we were talking away. Next time we see him, I plan to get a photo of our pooches with Errol 😊

We are getting ready for our trip. Just one week away. The suitcases are in the guest room. In the next few days, we will sort out what we need to bring. My "to do" list is now very short, most of it is for the doggies. I need to organize their meds, treats. Next Sunday, I will cook their chicken/veg toppers. It's all coming together. Russell will give them a bath later this week. Cooper's eye inflammation is much better. He went back to the vet for a check up. It should be all cleared up by the time we leave.

We are expecting rain tomorrow so I plan to put away all the Winter gear and get a few things done around the house. Russell has a pedicure on Thursday. I have mine on Friday. 

That's about it for my blog this week. It's only 8 am, I feel like we've been up forever. Cooper had his breakfast, Spicy will get hers soon. Have a great week everyone!

More and more aircraft flying over, wonder
where this one is heading?

Lined up for the next action...
