While we are eagerly looking forward to summer with warm sunny weather for our outdoor activities, we have been enjoying spring. We have visited the geese at the Cemetery a couple of times already. After we are done watching the geese and their goslings, the cemetery is a great place to run.
It is a special treat that some plants grow in our yard after years of neglect and continued neglect. With the support and encouragement of prairechick my gardening expert I am attempting to do some container gardening and hopefully later this summer the front yard will receive an overhaul.
As much as I enjoyed making this quilt (the wedding quilt as it was dubbed by L), it felt good to wrap it up and give it away. I’m not totally happy with it, I tried some new things and learned some things and hopefully it will come in handy for M&C without falling apart.
Spring brings dandelions. L especially loves these bright sunny flowers, he is allowed to pick as many dandelions as he likes and later when the become puff balls he loves to blow them. Seeing his delight makes me wonder why we try so hard to get rid of them. Thank you to Grandma for lovingly accepting L’s bouquet.
Another of L’s favourite summer activities is roasting hotdogs and marshmallows. We did manage to squeeze in a wiener roast at Grandma L’s after some frustrating changes of venue and time.
Despite all the wind and rain that this spring has brought we have enjoyed the sunny breaks at the local playgrounds. K loves the swing and would happily spend her whole time in the swing.
Aw, little girls in floppy hats are adorable! Fun pics of your spring outings…where’s this cemetary you’re talking about?
It’s the Brookside Cemetary, which is beside Red River Community College in northwest Winnipeg. It’s just down the road from Pam’s old stomping grounds where she was living in the years before we got married.
