today was a day of mystery....the air was warm but the wind was quite wild...and the sky wasn't sure what to do....but the hills are alive with spring...trees are full of pussy willows, crocus are staring to emerge and the air is full of busy bird sounds...the ice is receeding in most places but there is still chunks in places (spots for the geese to stand on like little islands)..after a day of hiking in the fresh air I am none the worse....tired exhausted but a GOOD tired ....a bit sore but tolerable....a hot bath and off to bed ....I wasn't sure what we would find out at the farm today and if the forcast is right it might be rain and snow for the morning...guess we will have to wait and see....but today was GOOD and filled with the surprises of spring.......

Another wonderful spring day...after a leisurley breakfast and coffee on the deck I went for a walk...thought maybe I would do some racking so I cleaned up my herb garden....cleaned my van inside and out....van looks good but I may have overdone it...hurting just a bit more than normal but that's ok as I am going to have a R&R day tomorrow at the farm....it's been a GOOD day and I have a GOOD tired happening....Lyle's mom, neice and I went to Moosomin today as mom had a dentist appt. this afternoon..a lovily day for a drive.....

Another lovily day...I have devoted today to packaging "monkies"...I have decided that I wanted to make something for all our great nieces and nephews....all 19 of them plus 5 grandbabies plus 2 adult grandchildren who want socks.....so today I packaged up 7 monkies and 2 pair of adult socks....for the wee ones in Alberta....7 down and 17 to go....for the wee people in Saskatchewan...the monkies are knitted to resemble the original sock monkey.....this is my challenge for this year (I feel if I have to sit and rest I should be as productive as possible and knitting helps keep my hands and fingers moving)...I had a very nice chat with my MS friend and met her spouse and daughter..she and I are both very fortunate to have supportive spouses...not so for all MS sufferers I am sorry to say...MS is very hard on family and friends...one soon finds out who are fair-weather...I have had a GOOD day albeit not that busy......just GOOD....

today is warm and welcoming.....a day of R&R....Lyle leaves to go back to school...only 4 more weeks...and so begins another week...quiet,relaxing and regenerating for the up coming week which I am sure will be full as the weather is warm and Mother Earth has pulled back the covers of winter snow exposing the ground beneath (will need some attention) and I will get right on it right after a GOOD night's rest.......

The long Easter weekend is upon us...weather is so warm and welcoming...my parents have arrived from Regina to spend a few days with us (no small feat for people in their 80's)....spent the better part of Sat. and Sun. out at the farm in the great outdoors...Lyle's mom (also 8o plus) spent Sat.out at farm with us.....We had our Easter meal dining in the warmth of the sunshine..lots of visiting and descion making as to what will be panted in this years gardens..both parents plant gardens anually and would have it no other way....and so it is...Sunday is a quiet day and my parents return to Regina....today is my needle day and day to get caught up on a bit of extra rest but I have enjoyed getting out in the fresh air...it has been a quiet but GOOD weekend....we are all a bit tired but it is a GOOD tired and am glad to have been part of it..........
