Let's Go Fly a Kite...*Mary Poppins*

I took the Boy and J kite flying for the first time last night! The Boy had obviously never done it before but I was shocked to find out that J had never flown one before either. I don’t know about you but to me that is wild. Kites were a big part of my childhood. My brother and I grew up next to a school yard so we were there constantly with different models over the years. Then again, he did grow up in Fredericton, maybe kites weren’t huge out there….Anyway, The Boy had fun with it until about mid way through. Then he told me that it was, “No fun, it go up, it fall down, it go up, it fall down. No fun.”

Try explaining to a toddler about the challenge of keeping it in the air.

Anyway, am going to be off for the weekend to Cobourg to help my girlfriend move into her first house. CAN’T WAIT!!! She has told me I will be lawn and garden girl! Am going to be weeding, cutting the lawn, whipper-snippering, etc. J and the boy will be staying home. J’s mom and aunt are coming into town for the Canada Day weekend, and J’s mom is staying for the week after. I’ll see them when I get home Sunday afternoon.

No vacation booked for the summer really. The Boy’s beginner school class took the one for August out. Oh well, I’ll take a day at a time when I need it and then take a week or two in the fall or winter.

Blog ya later.

Green Thumb!

I had a really good Tuesday night. There was a fire at the movie theatre that KCh and I go to so we rescheduled for later in the week to see the The Lake House. It was beautiful weather so I took full advantage and finally finished my front garden. The crusty thing was still in the position to hug the old deck. The pics go in the order of: before front angle, before side angle, during, and finished.

I still need to build it up with some more soil and add some more flowers to fill it out but I’m pretty proud of my first major gardening job done without my Dad helping.





And, yes, I'm grass seeding the front to get the lawn back up to the stones.

Ciao for now

YAY WEEKEND!!!!!

I don’t know if I have told my demanding public about my wee little problem. About once a month, thus this leads me to suspect that it’s attached to my cycle, I get what J and I call, “My little cloud of doom”. Basically I get majorly depressed/irritable due to nothing that we can tell other then it’s that time. So I was deep under the shadow of my little cloud yesterday when I discovered what can make it fly away: PURPLE TOES!!!!

It seems if I go out in the car for a fast drive with the windows down blasting Sean Paul’s Temperature and buy a new shade of toe nail polish it gets my spirits back up. Gotta love Sean Paul and purple toes!

My garden is doing really well! My beans are up about 4 inches, my lettuce is going insane in a green carpet, and my onions have finally started showing the little green tops. I still have to finish the garden in the front of my house but the weather is not cooperating. I’m not going to do it in the pouring rain, but I’m also not going to do it in the middle of a heat wave and get heat stroke.
The boy and I had a lovely moment today. I was reading under the umbrella on the deck while he was playing in his sandbox. I guess he got a little hot ‘cause he walked back to the deck and climbed into the lounge chair for a rest with me! Love that kid!We also got him is first two-wheeler! Another toddler milestone gone.
Anyway, I still have the residual cloud, namely a headache and lack of energy to do more the move my mouse around. Will post again soon.

Ciao for now!

YAWN!!!!!

Yes it’s the return of the “God –DAMN am I tired!” posts.  I’m soooooo fuzzy right now.  Just got back from a huge walk, didn’t get much sleep last night…or the night before that.  Work is going okay, my boss has been away for two weeks and is gone for one more.  Am going to try doing a garage sale on Saturday morning…we’ll see how that goes.

Anyway, just a quick update that I’m still alive…barely.

Blog ya later!
