Victoria Day

Happy Victoria Day! The girls came down for the weekend and we had a nice lunch of barbecued chicken on the deck with Ron's mum and stepdad yesterday.

It was quite warm and pleasant. Unfortunately, Ron is still unable to join us in any food consumption yet. He had a chest x-ray last Friday and we will be talking with the surgeon this week about his progress.

I finally got around to doing a sign for the gate on Saturday. I have also made incremental progress on the floor project. I'm trying not to disrupt life too much, since Ron is still not moving very well yet.

The lily of the valley in my shower are blooming (the scent is heavenly) and I have now added a pink/burgundy calla lily to the mix. It has been great therapy to have my hands in the soil and watch the garden come back to life.

Yesterday I saw a bright yellow black headed grosbeak on the feeder- I wasn't quick enough to get his picture. Today it's sprinkling a little bit and there are napping feline, canine and human bodies all over the house. We could do with more rain, but it's pretty hard to complain about the gorgeous weather we've been enduring here.
