Yay - We've Opened The Pool!

Hope you all had a Happy Mother's Day.  Hubby made me breakfast, I "facetimed" with L before she went to work and got a phone call from M.  I got some really great gifts - flowers, some yummies and two books, one a colouring book and the other a drawing book.  I can't wait to start them

After breakfast Hubby and I went and trimmed part of our Privet hedge, cut the grass and did some weeding and mulching and then we opened the pool.  We had a bit of a shock when we saw the colour of the water.  Usually it's a little dirty but somewhat clear.  Today it was GREEN!  After a couple of hours and whatever you do to get it started for the season, the water was beginning to look blueish.  I can't wait to start using it again.  The Bean and I are going to have so much fun this summer!

Last Monday I went over to L's to help get her started with her new Cricut machine that she got for her birthday.  It's fab!!  I have so many ideas of what she might be able to do for me - I may have to get one for myself!

Twinnee and I have been doing our usual Skype sessions and during one of them she was working on some little watercolours in her daily journal.  Wow - she's very talented.  Maybe I might be able to show some on here?...

Gardening has been taking up most of my spare time but I'm getting back into knitting and am almost finished with my fox.  I've got so many ideas buzzing around my head of what I'd like to do next but am making myself wait until I get some stuff finished first - that's very hard to do!

Here are my photo-a-day pix for the week

The first pic is the new "toy" - Cricut machine.  Next is beautiful Maddie sunning on the deck.  The bird on the planter is taking some of Maddie's fur to build a nest.  A trip to the Mall - love LV!  The crabapple blossom doesn't last long but it still looks pretty on the grass.  Another trip to the Mall and we had to take a detour into the Apple store!  And finally, my squirrel is back - he was laying flat on the fence post and let me take his picture!

Have a great week and enjoy this warm weather.  Until next time...
