Good Morning and Welcome to Saturday the 6th day of May, 2017.
Another gorgeous morning here in Edmonton.
The sun is shining and the day has more than begun.
Feeling a bit lazy and wanted to stay in bed or actually I had been directed to the sofa BUT Mr. Alvin had something else in mind.
He let out little barks not even barks actually, until I got up.
Alvin will not let me stay in bed past a certain time.
Not sure why.
Well actually part of it is that he likes to lay down on the spot that I was on.
Crazy guy.
But thankfully I am up as I have LOTS to do.
When you are the only one in the household all the chores both inside and outside are yours to do.
Not complaining as it was my choice to buy a house (which I love).
There is always the first couple of weeks getting everything in order outside before it is just maintaining over the summer.
Soon the grass will need to be mowed.
The flower beds need to be watered.
I want to wash down the deck and then put out the furniture.
Wash down the house as well.
Then at some point closer to June purchase some flowers.
There is a small piece of siding at the back of the house that needs to be tacked back down.
Unfortunately it is on the second floor so I need a taller ladder so I will borrow one and get that done.
I have asked to borrow one so will do that over the next couple of weeks.
Just have to wait until I have someone to hold the ladder and to give instructions as I have not repaired siding.
So as a homeowner there is always lots to do.
But it is fun ….. at the end of the day.
It is like most things in life …. sometimes we grumble just a bit during the ride but we are happy when we have arrived.
Right….
Well I must get to it ….. Alvin certainly is not going to change the bedding or start the laundry.
He is good company as I go about my chores.
I hope that you have an awesome Saturday.
I am most grateful that I have a Saturday to have …..
It is a good day to be alive.
It is great to be here, now.
I am looking forward to having the deck covered in flowers.
Also my perennials in the front bed are coming up ….. there be green in that bed.
I am so excited for that …..
Okay, deep breath and get going.
Happy Saturday.
Smiling now…..
Special Hello to: my friend “V” back home ……
Always, Carol and Alvin
