Just had to jinx it

I got ridiculously sick last week. Summer fevers are the best! I sat in a deep freeze for 7 months and then, just when it's going to be nice, fever. 

That's my sexy sick face. I bring all the boys to the yard. 

Luckily the weather has actually been crappy, so not to many missed gardening opportunities. Yay! (?)

Anyway. It's been a while so to catch up: 1) Gardening in still a thing. I'm half way done the garden; 13 hours and counting. 2) I'm over my sickness! (Mostly. Damn allergies.) 3) I had a trip to the boonies of Alberta last weekend and saw real live wild Mustang Horses! Lots of fun. And 4) My old Kenmore sewing machine finally bit the dust so I've got a new, not so trustworthy, sewing machine friend. We'll see how she fares... the tension is already off and I'm missing my old baby already. 

More posts this week and next about dinner parties and my love for Alberta. (I'm going to miss you, Big Sky Country! Le Tear!)

The 'S' Word

Nobody say it! Mother Nature is behaving so no one say the 'S' word or she'll take it back!

I've been gardening this past week (and will continue as long as the weather cooperates). My Dad's garden is a giant mess right now, so I'm using my gardening superpowers to fight against the tree root suckers and the Dead Everything. 

Hopefully I'll be successful and won't be eaten by whatever has made it's home under the years of dead leaves.

Fingers Crossed.

May Day!

It's the first day of May! I love May! The streets get cleaned and the grass grows green and being outside, in general, is way more pleasant than actual Alberta 'spring time'.

This month I'm going to be nerdy and take on the 30X30Challenge and spend 30 minutes outside every day of May. (I may regret this when it rains for a week straight.... but I'm going to try!)

But yah, come and join me! I'll be the weirdo reading HP in various YEG parks.
