I love this time of year, every day I go outside and walk around the gardens to see what is poking up through the ground other than weeds :). Digging in the soil and planting is such a satisying feeling. I have planted the urns for the deck and have fingers crossed that we don't get a heavy frost or else my house will be a little crowded some nights with all the pots dragged inside. This year I kept it simple and just used pansies and the most happy little daisies and in some pansies and new guinea begonias. I am moving all my hostas around and my sister gave me a box of irises so I have to get those in the ground as well. They are calling for a nice day on Friday so that may be an outdoor day for Molly and I. Can't wait.
I was looking after Adelyn last week and we were exploring her yard and her Mommy's flowers. Mind you she did a wonderful job picking all the dandelions from the lawn. Her daddy would be proud.
The true sign of spring is all the fishing boats in the harbour setting the lobster traps and bringing home their catch. Yumm, I have already had a couple of lobster feeds since the season opened. My son is working 16 hour days right now as they collect the lobster from the fisherman to be exported. Nothing like NS lobster and a dish of butter sitting on your plate.
With Mother's Day coming this weekend it will be busy but time spent with family is always fun. A bunch of us are taking my Mom to lunch on Saturday which will be a noisy and laugh filled event. On Sunday my son-in-law is making lunch for my daughter, his mom and me. He is an amazing cook and I can't wait to see what he has come up with to serve us this year. All I know is that he needs 1lb of lobster which I will have my son pick up.
I am busy getting my yard geared up for the weekends when Adelyn comes to stay. I picked up the neatest sandbox/water table for her, it even has an umbrella so she isn't in the direct sun. I have ordered a rocker to have on the deck as well so old nanny bones can sit and have her cup of tea while keeping an eye on my sugar baby.
The weekend of May 26th I am doing a felted over lace scarf workshop with about 4 or 5 ladies which should be fun. After the workshop I am heading over to Halifax to pick up Adelyn as she is coming out until Monday. Can't wait to see what antics she will get up to. :)
Happy Mother's Day to everyone!
