I can't believe that it has been almost a whole month since I last posted!! I have falled off the face of the cyberworld for a while. I shall be honest to say that it was a good thing. I haven't made cards or anything, but I did continue to make melon muffins! Finally made those fruit explosion ones with the berries, but they weren't quite as tasty as the melon ones:):)
We are heading into sports season for which all the lads are VERY enthusiastic. Craig has soccer and Joe and Kev have baseball. I am off to yoga tonight, which I've been going to for all of April and will continue to the end of May. It's soooooo good, my whole body feels good and I have much less pain. I don't have a LOT of pain for the most part, but my back can act up once in a while. The gentle toning and strengthening from yoga helps SOOOO much. Ray is paddling in Algoquin right now, surely getting a work out of his own!
So that's what we're up to....oh yeah...and the boys are planting a garden. Nothing of that nature is easy. They have been working at turning the soil, which is great, but what do you do with the sod once you have filled all the dead patches in the lawn? We don't have a shed to hide a giant compost pile behind and the composter is already full. Can you believe that we have to take it to the dump???? They have a brush pile there. Or else we have to put it in a garbage bag by the road.....I just can't send grass to landfill. Once the sod is turned you have to add some good earth, which someone dropped off out of the goodness of their heart. But....we are not alone in this neighbourhood. Many cute little herbivorous bunnies live here too. And they like gardens....a lot! So we need a bunny fence. I bought chicken wire and "step-in-posts" with hooks made just for wire. (I'd whip some up in my welding shop but ....you know...) $100 later..... Well, the boys are going to be able to do it all by themselves. (I'll be sitting on the deck with a coffee and a muffin!) And...this week in the paper they advertised a kids' garden contest put on by the Horticulture Society. They supply the seeds and you get to go to a meeting every month with a little field trip attached. Sounds like fun to me.
I'd take a picture but my camera is in a water proof case in the bush. The thousand words will have to do.....

There you are. I missed you! :D
Glad to hear you're still enjoying muffins. Also glad to hear that yoga seems to be helping your poor aching body. Sooooo... you're NOT participating in the garden (not buying the fence material, not taking care of the extra sod, not driving the boys to the monthly meetings... hee, hee!) Glad to see this is the BOYS project. Can't wait to see pictures.
I hope Ray is having better weather for canoeing than we are having here on PEI. Rain and cold. Ugh! We're not in the fields yet but Marten's glad... too many other things to do.
Did you ever get my card? Tell me it wasn't lost in the mail. I tried a new see-through envelop and I was nervous it wouldn't get to you. let me know, OK?
To bad those muffins didn't turn out as good , eh?
Boys planting a garden. Hmmmm..........That sounds like farming to me. Are they having fun with it?
Hope it all turns out good for them. And Ray is off canoeing? I hope we will get another trailreport when he gets back. Really enjoyed the last one.
Have a good mother's day and a great week. Love, Randall
