Charlie...
Charlie is so happy that the good weather is here and the snow is all gone! She spent all the time outside with us and had her fair share of S'mores!!! One happy piggy :) Soon all her hair will fall out for Summer :)
Starting to look like summer!
It just needs to green up!!!! It's so nice to have the yard all clean and tidy again after winter! The next warm day I get I want to tackle weeding this flower bed in the picture - in fact we're removing a lot of the plants in it this year and a lot of the soil as its all clay and Lloyd is bring in a lot of new soil to replace the horrible soil (my Mom will be thrilled to read this I am sure).
Smores.....
We had our first fire in the firepit at the weekend and on Sunday made Smores. Chris (the lazy thing that he is, found this ENORMOUS stick...so long that he didn't have to move from his chair.....can you see how long it is???? It was like a fishing rod!!! He literally had to reel in the marshmallow!!! It was hilarious!!
home
From a new angle.......a different scene from a week ago now all the snow has gone! Saturdays temperature was 19c and Sundays temperature was 24.9c!!!!!!!!
I thought I should add - for those of you not in Canada - everything here goes brown in Winter because of how cold it gets. the grass dies off and just turns brown....so if we don't get snow it still goes brown - so we either have a White Christmas or a brown Christmas!
Then in Spring the snow melts and everything is brown like this for a few weeks and it looks almost Fall like - and then all of a sudden over a few days it just greens up suddenly - we can already see green patches in places - in town today I could see a lot of green - and here in some places we can see green grass coming through - then a few days of warm weather and the trees will be reen and the grass will turn green and you won't recognise the place! But for now everything is brown!
It isn't like England where everything stays green all year long!

Another picture of one of those cute little toadstool things growing in the plant pots! I love my macro lens!!! I'm going to have so much fun with it outside this Summer - be prepared for close ups of bugs and all kinds of weird and wonderful things!
Sams boat
Laurence helped Sam make his little wooden sailboat kit at the weekend, and it went on it's maiden voyage across the big puddle! What fun!

Enjoying Springlike temperatures!
It was a glorious weekend temperature-wise. Sunday it hit almost 25c!!! We were outside all weekend long, tidying up the acreage, weeding the flowerbeds and just enjoying the fire pit and yard toys! We even had a bbq and made the first s'mores of the year on the fire pit :) YUMMY!!!!
