It is a dull drizzly day here in Southern Saskatchewan. Molly and I did take a walk this morning, I did get my workout in, I am doing a few loads of laundry, but this weather is making me tired!
I was just outside with Molly fort a few minutes to see if the fresh air would perk us up. It didn’t but I did take a few photos.
That was it for today. Take care and have a great day!π
It has been a long time coming, but we are finally seeingΒ signs of Summer in Saskatchewan.Β
These are a few of the photos I took yesterday while wandering around.Β Β If I had a theme for our yard this year, I am not seeing it yet.Β Β The bits and pieces of colour seem pretty random.
That’s it for today. Take care and have a great day! π€π
Happy Valentine’s Day! Wishing Love & Joy to everyone today. Valentine’s Day is a holiday that is typically marketed towards couples. This year however, I am thinking of the singles in our society who have been particularly affected by the isolation that has been a part of this lingering pandemic. For anyone who is alone today and feeling a bit stranded, I am thinking of you and sending hearts and huggs and smiles your way.
Have a great day! If you cannot be with the ones you love, think of them often and do something special for yourself to brighten your day. Thinking of you. AnneMarie π
Back in November of 2019, I was looking forward to the return of summer. Moving into February of 2022, I am beyond excited as I anticipate the coming spring and summer. π
The only way to update this 2019 post, is to add a few ‘Summer in Saskatchewan’ photos from 2020 and 2021. For anyone living north of warmer weather, I hope this is a little something to brighten your day and warm your heart. πΉ
The beauty of a Saskatchewan summer! It cannot get here soon enough, even if it is well worth the wait.
That is it for today. Take care and have a great day! π
Yesterday was Canada Day, my husband was home, and I was being too laid back to spend much time looking for magical moments. Fortunately, a few of them came looking for me.
Thank you for dropping by! I hope to see you soon.
Have a great day and if you are in this heatwave zone – keep safe!
It is the twenty-second day of my June ‘Accent the Positive’ challenge.Β Today I decided to share some of my favourite quotes by the masters – they are positively brilliant, beautiful, and inspiring words of wisdom.Β
That is all for today! Twenty two days down, only eight more days to go.
Have a beautiful day! I hope to see you tomorrow! π₯
Our yard is not bursting with color yet, but we do have perfect little blossoms popping up here and there. For day eight of my June ‘Accentuate the Positive’ challenge, I have chosen to share a few of my favourite little buds.
Spring is such a great time of year! Everytime we go outside there is a new treasure to be found. π€
Eight days down, twenty two to go. Have a lovely day and I hope to see you tomorrow! π
The Saskatchewan floods and frigid weather have passed. Most of our plants have survived so far. We will see how many make it through the hurricane strength winds today!
We got the garden in! Our plants all seem to have survived two days of +31 temps followed by three days of snow and freezing temperatures. (They did ride out the snow and cold by hunkering down under sheets and blankets). If they can get through the next week of rain without drowning we should be good!
We still have work to do getting the yard cleaned up. I have to finish power washing the patio and outdoor furniture and get the steel planters painted. Dan is working on the front lawn and rebuilding one of the front lawn planters, plus cleaning up some lights and decorations. (Once everything dries up and warms up of course!)
It is hard to find a lot of ‘positivity’ in a day that rings in at +5 Celsius and the world is turning a nasty shade of Saskatchewan greige but it is there if you look hard enough.
Kat and I geared up and went for a 3.67 kilometer walk around the neighbourhood. That was hardly a record for us this summer but it is a good 3.67 kilometers further than we used to walk on a daily basis. π
Time to get out and start harvesting everything I can from the garden. There is frost in the forecast for tonight so we will have to cover anything that isn’t ready to pick. π€¦
Have a great day! If there is heat and sunshine anywhere, get out and enjoy it! Send picsπ
