Hey friends so very sorry that there has been no blog for 2 days but I have been crazy busy from early in the morning to late at night....too tired to write ....too tired to think. I absolutely am tired of the freaking rain that we have in Ontario right now....I moved bad from BC cause I didn't like it when it rained everyday. So tonight the rain ceased for a few hours so I did some planting in my planter boxes. I am excited to see my flowers and veggies start to grow....always makes me feel good that I was able to have something bloom and produce a flower or fruit. Well, then my dad came over to help us clean the yard...now this is a bit of a chore as there is lots of stuff...ok CRAP! That the previous owner left, our shed is falling apart because the morons made it with press wood and we all know what happens to press board when it gets wet right!!! They certainly did not seal it with the proper coating to repel the rain and water. Now it is rotten, the door, the floor, the walls, the roof....get the picture. So the garbage around the yard is insane too....theirs and ours. We have lived here 3 years but it was one disaster after another. Moving day, gas leak evaculated the neighbours and the house until it was cleared by the gas company. Three weeks after moving in the roofer walking the roof to check it fell throught....new roof!!!! 3 months after moving in pipe broke in the ceiling of the basement bathroom.....10000.00 in damage! Flooded the entire basement, ruined walls, floors etc. Then there was car accidents and work injuries and more and more and more! So we haven't had a lot of time to work on the yard and Geoff still can't work on the yard but it has to get done as it is looking terrible and if drainage stone and patio stones don't get put down the mud and water is going to overtake everything. My hot tub is empty and needs to be washed down and refilled along with putting the clothes line back up and cleaning out the shed. Mowed the lawn tonight, need to rake and weed wack! I hate dandelions!!!! Dog terds are picked up and removed....trailer half filled with garbage to go to the dump! Anyways, got some planting done, dad showed me what is weeds and what isnt' in my front flower bed and how to trim back my plant that is overtaking my flowerbed. Dad's friend is a horticulturist and is helping me with my garden. My new garden will be the wave of the future......raised gardens....at arm level ....no bending to weed, far less weeds and no worry for ground hogs, bunnies etc. Got lots to do on the weekend yet but gotta go to bed now.
More gardening lessons to come...good night.
ps saw the surgeon yesterday and he was very pleased! Said I am doing fabulously and am above average in weight lose...down another 9 or so lbs.
