New Week, New Baby

Doesn't that look like one proud daddy! Heidi Maisonneuve made her appearance around 1 am on Sunday morning. Congratulations Eric and Janine. She's adorable!

As for me, it was a nice getaway weekend but it's back to work tomorrow. It's a good thing I love my job - and the boss isn't all that bad either, so I can't complain.

R & R Time

I picked a card from a tarot deck.

It said to nurture myself and get some rest and relaxation.

Who am I to argue?

Besides, Kate's comment on my last post was; "You are a workhorse, girl!"

Sometimes you just have to pay attention to stuff like that. Don't you think?

So I hurried up, took care of a few business things and some client paperwork, then I told my honey to grab our toothbrushes and our bathing suits and we jumped in the truck and headed out to Grande Prairie.

We browsed around, did some shopping, went out for supper, then booked a hotel room two doors down from the pool and hottub.

By that time it was already 9 pm and I'm sure it didn't take us more than 2 minutes flat to change into our suits, jump into the water and go, ahhhh.......what a treat!

Who knows, with no Pumpkin to poke, prod and meow in the morning, I might even have a sleep in. Although i doubt I even know what it feels like or how to do that anymore.

It's Done!

I finally got the garden planted tonight. Wanted to make sure to get it in before we get the rain they say we are going to have in the next few days.

Let's see. Two rows of peas, two rows of beans, one row of beets, two rows of carrots, one row of kohlrabi, two rows of onions and 8 plants of potatoes in my little garden patch here.

Next I went to Eric's (Andree's nephew) farmyard about 10 km from home and planted another 45 plants of potatoes. That should do it I'd say.

Oh wait! That's not all. I planted some sun flowers too. Can't wait for those smiley faces to pop out of the ground!

I also got to borrow a pick-up truck and loaded the thing right up to the cab roof with all the broken tree limbs and dead branches that I cut down the night before. Hauled all that down to the burn pile over at the town site here.

Didn't manage to cut the grass though. Ran out of time for that. Maybe tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I was preoccupied with getting the garden in and totally forgot to snap a few pics of the whole process until it was too late so I snapped one of this abundant little flower that adorns everyone's yard at this time of the year.
