Yes I think winter has returned. I'm freezing and my fingernails are blue. Really, they're blue. I just noticed that. No, there is no snow in our backyard....yet. I'm waiting for tomorrow morning as it's supposed to go below 0 tonight. This morning it was trying to snow flurry. Yep, love the May long weekend. Never plant your plants in the ground until after the May long weekend. Alberta rule of thumb. I didn't listen and I think I may have a few causualties. We'll see after tomorrow. My tulips are alive and well as we speak. Some have finished their bloomings....I think we should all just take time to smell the tulips...even if they don't really smell.

Some funtastic times

We went golfing on my birthday.We played nine holes and on the 9th hole....the above is what we got. Tired little kid. All she wanted to do was lay in the grass. Can't say I blame her. Even I have a tough time getting through nine holes sometimes. But she did very well and hardly even a complaint. Actually I don't think we had any complaints!

What do you think has happened in this raspberry bed?Let me give you a hint.......Apparently one doesn't need snow to do a little bum sliding! I had a helper today while I cleaned out the raspberries. She was dressed in pink and not afraid to get her little hands dirty. Was she really that helpful? No, but she was awfully funny to watch. And nothing but a steady stream of conversation from this garden helper. I'm not all that sure what she was saying, but I think there was alot of 'help' being said. "Help, help, help, help, help, ok." "Mommy, Ellie!" "Thank-you!" Dirt was flying!
