Finally, it is raining. Which means I can't work out in the garden. Which means I can catch up on other things, like blogging.............and housework!!!!

David is in Quebec this week, leaving Barbara and I to our own devices. So a trip to Marlins garden centre was made. We were actually looking for a yellow climbing rose to plant on the south east corner to compliment the one we have planted on the south west corner, which after taking 3 years to establish itself is absolutely gorgeous. Sadly Marlins didn't have a yellow climbing rose but we managed to find other plants to our liking.

Since my last posting we have had a mother duck and about 8 ( they were hard to count) ducklings swim past several times. And the snappers have been laying there eggs again in the veggie garden. One in the row of carrots, one in the row of peas .

The raccoon has been busy emptying the bird feeders at night so we are having to take them in at night.

On the 12th we celebrated my 54th ( supposedly my lucky year because I was born in 54) at Mums. We had a lovely dinner, Ingrid went to a lot of trouble making sure everything was Gluten Free. With much help and support from Mum we had a lovely evening.
