more

We finally put together Mimi's bed, mounted her tv on the wall, set up her phone. Dave is finishing her window sill now, we just need her flooring. The patio area is almost ready for stones, we set up the kids playhouse and sandbox, despite no grass. Once the patio is there at least they have somewhere to play. I will landscape all around the patio, I have been mulling over various shrubs to choose from-the possibilities are endless here-we are a zone 7 vs zone 3 in Manitoba! At least in Ontario we were zone 5B, which was pretty good, MB was not a good planting zone. Mom used to always lament the hardiness factor of some plants she would have liked to have.

I am so happy to garden. I find it is like cooking for me, very soul soothing. Last night we had some really good steaks, grilled asparagus and zucchini, and I made lettuce wraps. It was very good. We had a raspberry lemon cream cake I made for dessert, a fussy recipe, but very yummy.

My arms hurt from the yard work, so no more typing right now.
