These are the days of my life...

So I've been informed that I'm falling behind in my posts. To my many fans, I apologize for my long breaks in communication - it has nothing to do about my feelings towards any of you!

Not much has been going on with me, however, I find myself constantly on the go. Last weekend, Aaron, my brother David and Aaron's sister Jenn went over to Centre Island to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and to watch the Dragon Boat Festival. The link below provides some pictures from the day. We couldn't have asked for a better day to be on the island.

This past week has been work and a bit of rest, and the week ended with a trip up to the cottage for the long weekend. I lucked out with the traffic and only saw a short (5 minute) traffic jam while heading through the bustling metropolis that is Port Perry Ontario. The weather was good - had a wee rain storm Saturday evening, but we managed to find shelter. Sunday brought plant sales in Lindsay. Canadian Tire proved to have the better sales this year - two years ago I hit the jackpot at Garry's Garden Centre, but the deals haven't been so good since. I walked away from the trip to town with 13 perennials for $0.99 each, 3 boxwood shrubs and a potentilla. Now my only challenge is where to put everything - the front garden needs a few new plants since it has been expanded, and I really must put a bit of effort into the gardens in the back yard as I haven't done too much with them this year. With any luck, tomorrow will be a good day and I'll be able to take advantage of my extra day off to get some work done - if it rains, I have plenty to do in the house as well!

I hope that everyone enjoyed their Canada Day weekend and that everyone is keeping well.

Please drop me a line to say hi and if we're lucky, we might be able to get together this summer - my next available weekend is July 29th....

Love y'all!!
