Nothing like a nice sunny day to greet you...

I love it when I get up to a clear sunny sky. It is wonderful for the soul to venture out  first thing ( with the dog) to a bright , sunny day.  Now, they are calling for thunderstorms but for now - who cares!
Yesterday we went to Huntsville to shop, and then down to Bracebridge to the hospital to visit the elderly lady -the mother of the friends in Sprucedale.  it was a nice day again so we were able to wheel her outside and sit under the gazebo in the breeze. And she still is full of stories so there is no end of conversation. Her stories are a mix of reality, past memories, and fantasy but that's Ok.
We shopped for few things to take to Mike and Erin's on Wed June 3. We shall be going to celebrate both of their Birthdays together as they fall close together. They asked if we could combine them and of course, it was fine with us. Mike also asked for rhubarb crumble and pie so of course, I shall make both. But also I decided to make that old favourite Death By Chocolate dessert which I have not made for years. Erin is a chocolate nut so I think she may like it.  We'll make some sandwiches and that will be our "party" That day the Snowbirds are scheduled to perform over the waterfront so hoping the day is clear and we can see the show as well from Mike's place. he lives close to the Lake so we likely will see them in the sky because as of now our plans do not include actually going down to the waterfront. It is Armed Forces Day and the waterfront will be a mass of people and celebration.
As for the rest of the weekend now, it will be garden work for the most part. Now with the good warm weather everything is growing well and I have yet to get the ornaments out from under the tarps and clean up the BBQ / picnic area. So that is one of my goals!
Hope you have a good relaxing weekend folks. What are your plans?
take care
