A Bit of Gardening

   17C today, sunny, and the windows were open. The temperature in the house went up a couple of degrees but I will still need the heat on tonight. Still too early to put the plants outside. 

   

My nasturtium seedlings are coming on well.

  After potting up the seedlings I patched a spot in the lawn and did some garden tidy up. Nothing much growing yet but, stay tuned! it won't be long now.

Soon, very soon!

   Surely the last of the snow for this season!

Everything gradually melting. I can now drive up my driveway without the wheels spinning!

More optimistic temperatures! Should be nice by the weekend.

Homemade hummus with lots of garlic and lemon. The bread was home made too - sun dried tomatoes and parmesan. Very tasty and good for dipping!

Braving the Elements

   Everything still on hold due to the weather. Roads tricky so my demo group practice was cancelled. We needed one more rehearsal before Gala Day next Saturday but it was not to be.

   Marie phoned this morning to cancel tomorrow's Bridge game. I was very disappointed but didn't argue as she is the only one who has to walk to the Senior's Centre and I could see her point. We agreed to play on Thursday instead.

   I did go out this afternoon to pick up some topsoil which was on special at the garden centre. It tends to go very quickly and I really need it to build up the borders by my new raised front path. I bought 10 bags but will probably need more - I'll see how it goes.

   Coming home the driving was less than perfect  (only the main roads plowed)but I made it back successfully until I reached my driveway. The car only made it half way up before the wheels started spinning! At least it is off the road and it will just have to stay there until the temperature rises and the snow/ice melts!

Not My Idea of Spring

Really and truly, this is too much!! The monthly dance tonight has been cancelled - treacherous driving conditions - and the tennis courts are due to open next week!

    I went out this afternoon and although walking was just plain messy, the roads were pretty slippery especially as you approached a STOP sign. I am actually quite glad to spend the evening cosy by the fire. I have a new season of "Broadchurch" to watch!
