    I am cream crackered! I worked all day today after dropping the kids at school. Sorting out a very over grown and weedy garden. It was very cold and windy and now my face is feeling very tight. Then collected the urchins and it is daughters 8th birthday so dashed home and made birthday tea. After that, off to brownies for her, then back an hour later to collect, then home to make tea for the old man. Have some sewing to do, but I just don't have the energy! Am working again all day tomorrow. Phewie!

    "Seven gardens raked, trimmed, edged and weeded" Neither wonder you're tired Netty. Hope you don't wake up too stiff in the morning.

    Netty if that was my day I wouldn't even be moving by night time. Hope you get a good nights rest. My day was real quiet compared to yours - just the normal 8 hours of office work and laundry at home.

    Good evening all. No, I wasn't sore this morning, but it was the first time in months I slept all night! The alarm had to wake me this morning!
    I had another productive day today...until the rain started that is! Then I got to pot up some geraniums and plant some seeds.
    Finally found a garden center OPEN today! Yippee, and it's my favorite one too. Went in and talked to the owner and looked around, and get this...I didn't buy anything!!!! (but I made a BIG mental list of things I wanted to get next time LOL) Thunderstorms over the dinner hour and now everything is good and wet. The forecast calls for flurries starting tomorrow night and staying cold thru the weekend. YUCK!

    Good evening all. We had lots of rain last night and the lake on my lawn is back. Today started at 8°C and by mid day it was 2°. Now it is -1 and snowing! Will it ever end?

    Good night all. Time to head for bed. A new Backyard Living magazine arrived today and it will be my bedtime reading. May all of you awake to a beautiful Easter morning tomorrow.

    Good night all. Hope a pleasant day was had by all. After church this morning we had Ester dinner with friends, then home for a nap and a quiet evening. Time now for some bedtime reading - gardening magazines of course.

    Good Tuesday evening all. I had a very busy day at work today. By early this afternoon, I started feeling a cold coming on and by the time I left work, I felt just awful! Now I'm sitting here and even my fingernails hurt! A few more posts to read and I'll be off to bed. My computer is acting most strangely as well...the pages don't want to load and it keeps freezing. Maybe it's trying to tell me something...

    Good evening all, rained all day, finally quit about 4ish. We took the dogs out, poor babies were about to bust. Took a tour of the yard, or should I say lake. I finished supper, fed Mom, ate, went outside. I got my fan grate planted up, almost. The only house work I accomplished was mopping the bath, hall and kitchen and did one load of clothes. The sink is full of dirty dishes and I am dead dog tired. Oh well, what can I say, everyone deserves a lazy day once and a while.

    Good evening all. A long work week this week. Have auditors at the office all week so have beenworking late trying to get the every day work done. I don't go into work tomorrow. Instead have to attend a day long meeting that is about 2 1/2 hours away from home and the weather doesn't look good. My husband is able to go with me so will do the driving.
