Be - It snowed yesterday

In North Bay yesterday for shopping and violin lesson, and it was snowing a bit and sleeting a bit and cold, cold wind blowing. And yet today worked in the yard all day ( yes, I said all day) and it was nice, shirt sleeve weather. We have had frost every night for the past few nights and hopefully tonight will be last for a few days as the weather forecast indicates it is getting warmer for the nights. It means no heaters need to be put on, and no closing up the greenhouses. Today we did a major cleanup of both greenhouses - took all plants out, redid most of them, adjusted a few of the shelves and then put them all back in. Sounds like an easy chore, but believe me it is not.
Monday night the little cat knocked over my violin onto the floor from its stand, and did some damage. I was terrified that it may be so bad it might require repair job but I took it into class and the instructor fixed the bridge, fixed the strings and the fine tuner screws, and all was well. Apparently not as bad as I imagined. Needless to say, I have changed how I store it so I won't have a repeat of the cat's mischief.
I am making plans to drive to Winnipeg again this year - I bought a case of 24 water bottles on sale for $1.97 so I am now committed to the trip, right? Patty, I hope that my tenting at the Lake is still an option for the August long weekend? I have a new tent - larger ( 12 X 8) with more room to actually stand up and move around, and a new cot that sits off the floor with a blow up mattress. They are both up in the back yard right now - and with the strong winds of late, it has been a good test of its durability. Now, it has not yet tested rain, but I'm sure will weather that as well ( if it happens to rain at the Lake, haha!)
Anyway, must go for now and get things ready for Mothers tomorrow - it will be hair cutting day again so I must take my shears as well as the food for lunch.
Take care
