The Good Day All Thread

Good Wednesday morning all. Currently -6°C and sunny. So nice to see the sun shining ... we have had the most glorious sun rises this week!
Snow is still melting and I am patiently awaiting the day I can go outside and start raking! I will have to go buy a new rake ... Just looked at mine and realized I lost a few 'teeth' last fall.
Have a great day all

 

Checking in late now, but the weather was good today with temps in the mid 60's and no noticeable wind so we were outside most of the day.
I weeded the peas and then fertilized them; raked over one of the raised beds and put manure in to get it ready for the cucumbers; fertilized the onions and lettuces; husband mowed the paths to the pond and took the walk-behind mower around the back of the barn, bagging the grass trimmings. He filled the garden cart and I tossed the trimmings into the inside coop, making the hens very, very happy!
We are planning on a trip to a nursery tomorrow--I'll try to be good, but I'll likely bust the budget with plants and seeds. I just can't help myself!

 

Sounds like a very productive day MG!
Good Thursday morning all. Currently 3°C and overcast with light rain.
I passed 2 skating dance tests last night! I guess you really CAN teach an old dog new tricks haha
Off to do my errands and shopping and hopefully a stop at my favorite garden center.
Have a great day all

 

That's awesome Toni, congratulations!!
Good Friday morning all. Currently -2°C and overcast with light snow falling. Weatherman says we are getting a 'nor-easter' today and so the temperatures are going down again for a day or two, and more snow will fall. Back into the plus temperatures after that. Hopefully spring will be here for good then.
Off to an appointment this morning and then maybe a bit of shopping. My regular grocery store was rather empty yesterday for some reason.
Have a great day all

 

A mighty fine morn to all ?

 

It's Saturday, so that means "plant the squash day" is upon us. You know the old joke about tossing squash into passing cars? Well, I don't have to. There are several ladies of a certain age at my hairdresser's who love squash, but can't plant a garden. I hit the mother lode of squash accepters! This is my little secret, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't share the news.
If it doesn't rain I'll do some perennial pruning. If it does rain, I'll make cinnamon rolls. Always have a Plan B ready.

 

Good Sunday morning all. Currently -2°C and clear.
So I went into Canadian Tire the other day only to discover a fully loaded garden section! I must have been more than a little excited as it didn't take me long to fill my cart with potting soil, seed starting medium, trays, seeds, a rake, some bulbs etc What a great trip! I am now waiting for the temperatures outside to warm up so that I can start my garden clean up. I did very little garden clean out last fall and so there is lots to do this spring. It looks like later this week will be a good time.
And I can't wait!
Have a great day all

 

Netty, I am so envious of your "haul" at the garden section! I'm with you on the clean-up since I didn't do nearly as much as I should have last fall.
Today is rearranging trays so I can start hardening off some of the herbs. The transplants will spend the day on the garden table in the shade, then go into the barn for the night, and tomorrow a morning in the sun. If weather cooperates, I should be able to plant them directly into the gardens by week's end.

 

Good Monday morning all. Currently -5°C and sunny. It's a beautiful day ... the sun is shining and the birds are singing.
This morning on my dog walk I filled a large bag with garbage out of the ditches. I can't really say it was garbage as it was all recyclable and so into the blue box it went.
It got me to wondering if the 'blue box' program was something that only happened in Ontario, or it it is something that happens worldwide?
Today I have some work to do inside, but if it warms up enough I may not be able to keep myself inside...It will be out to the garden with my new rake

 

Nice to know that they use recycling boxes in Texas! I know people who don't use them as well, and it's one of my biggest pet peeves.
Good Tuesday morning all. Currently -6°c and sunny.
I'm off to a doctors appointment this morning, and then to the rink to help paint the ice for our ice show this weekend.
Have a great day all

 

Hi all, cherry trees are starting to look good.
