I tried to start a blog yesterday but my alone time was up and it was time to get my day started and actually do something besides sitting in front of the computer which would have been very easy since it called for rain all day... so working outside would have been out of the question...
Actually that is where I should be at the moment because Carl is out there working in the flower beds with the little tiller... we are giving up on the mulch this year in most of the beds and using the tiller to get rid of those bloody weeds that I can't seem to control very much... by the time I am done weeding the beds which takes about 5 days I have to start all over again... especially the ones that look like little Christmas trees when they come out of the ground... they are worst then the weeds from hell aka bishops weeds... I can't believe that I actually seen some of the Bishop's weed being sold at Canadian Tire this year... any way I should be out there behind him smoothing out the beds as he goes along and as you can see what I should be doing is not what I am doing this morning... he he ... but then when the heck do I do what I am suppose to be doing any way... LOL...
As I was getting ready to leave yesterday Carl was out checking on the bird feeders and discovered that we had a very big visitor to the feeders the night before... not one we wanted to even see in our yard but it was here... a black bear cub actually... it cleaned out all the feeders, bent the Shepard hooks, and then had the nerve to leave its droppings behind as if it was saying I was here and you can't do anything about it... we know it is a cub because it was back last night trying to get to the feeders that are in the front of the kitchen window... and every body knows if there is a cub around mother bear is not to far behind...
A few days ago I was driving down to the house and passed a field where the bears are normally seen but I had not seen them for a few years but every time I pass I slow down to check it out... I was wondering where they were.... then I met up with one of our neighbors at the gas bar and he was telling me that there was a mother with two cubs around the area and they were putting out traps for them because they are actually coming up on to the patios not thinking that they would even come close to the house... boy was I mistaken or what...
Back to yesterday... it would usually take about an hour or so to get to Jardin's but yesterday we left the house about 11:30 and only got back at 6:30... very nice day trip for us without leaving the area... stopped in at the Bargain Shop along the way... picked up a few things there... then stopped at a shoe place that I always go looking for my shoes at.. no luck this time... dropped in at a garage sale... and then to the garden center to visit the gazebo that we have fallen in love with but there is no way we will buy it... it is made of cast iron and the price tag is 5000.00.... but boy if we had the funds for it... and we actually bought it I know where it would go in the yard but that is one of those things you think about and put out of your head because it is not going to happen... so going back to reality we picked up a couple of trays of Petunia and a tray of gazania and went out merry way... to visit and see what Jerry has been up to with the camp ground... Cedar Cove.. and there were many changes there... a short visit with Claudette since she was already up at the campgrounds...
As we headed up a drop in to say hi to both parents and home for relaxing and movies... the end to a perfect day... think we should do this more often... actually...
Well I think it is time for me to get some breakfast and get out and help Carl before we decide what else we are going to do ...
Have a great Sunday all... Joanne
