Where did May go?

We are having typical Nova Scotia weather wait 1/2 hour and it will change.

This is the first nice day for a week, the lilacs and apple blossoms are in full bloom, the air smells so nice there is a nice breeze, so the flowers scents are drifting in the air.
Last evening we sat out by the fireplace till it got too misty, and listened to the peepers and froggies.
We finally got the netting up around the veg garden so we can now plant, the net is to keep the chickens out.
My pots are still alive on the step, the chickens haven't spotted them....
I put out my hummingbird feeder, and one has been visiting. I love this time of year!!

A lovely day to play

Finally after what seems like weeks of rain a beautiful day, even better a day off work, it is 33C, lovely, lovely, lovely.

I potted some annuals thismorning, hopefully we won't get a frost and kill them, it is still early to put out annuals. Just some pansy and marigold plants.

Last weekend we built simple steps in the rain,we were waiting to get some logs sliced in half to make sturdy log steps but I could not wait any longer, since I already waited a year, last year we put in the patio door where a window was. I love my steps!!

Max on the lookout!

We were working in the garden and I looked up and Max was watching from on top of the poo pile. He would much rather "help", but we were on the other side of his fence.

Happy Late Mother's Day!

I got up to feed the animals yesterday morning and what did I see but a Kwanzan Japanese Cherry tree by my doorstep. I was so very excited, it was from the boys and Hubby didn't know either! We have it on wheels so we can decide where it will live!

Note the white chicken poking around and the water bottle laying around.....and the apple tree with fuzzy little leaf buds. Beside the apple tree we cleared in the Fall, looking for a location for a garden shed/greenhouse, still but a dream!
Hope you had a great day!

A Big Day in the Neighborhood!

Today is the first day in about a week that it hasn't rained, it wasn't sunny, but it was dry!
We finally have a department store in town!!!
Our only department store closed down in February, and this week a new one opened, its called The Bargain Shop.....it is no Walmart but it sure is good to have somewhere to get a pair of socks.
I treated myself to a pair with Eeyore on them.
