Lilac Trees in bloom, Garden planted

    This is a great time of year with the Lilac's blooming and all green things coming to life!

We got the garden in - this is the first year of not planting potatoes.

   

Lots of books

     I have two more book shelves in the living room - they're full of classics, best sellers, fiction, etc.  

 We also have a dozen plus CD's of local and Maritime music.

     Upstairs in the back hall is the bookself of Prince Edward Island books - local histories, stories, etc.

Trimming Trees & Moving the Gazebo - getting ready for summer!

     On Friday evening my brothers along with their wives were in to help cut down two old plum trees and trim old shrubs, including misc. other jobs like cutting the lawn and tilling the garden.

     Then on Saturday morning my brothers Kerras, Kenny and friend Gary helped me move the gazebo closer to the house.  We were going to use the move conventional moving method, ie. towing it with the tractor, however, Gary had the idea to roll it up to the house instead of towing.  We contemplated the idea then tipped it over and rolled it like a barrel up to the house, then standing it up.  No damage!

     Below: the large clay area where the gazebo use to be - we're going to plant a large sunflower patch - lots of food for the birds in the fall.

      The tulips are late coming up this year - the spring has been so cold - here's the only one in bloom - notice the hosta coming up beside it.
