Saturday Morning

Well, it's Saturday morning and i am sitting on my deck drinking coffee, plugging this out on my laptop, wondering when the hell summer is going to begin. Officially, it started yesterday on June 2oth but you would never know it with the weather we have been having. When we do actually get some sunshine it's cold due to winds, and the warmer days are usually cloudy or raining. It's traditional maritimes for you though, so I shouldn't be surprised. We will probably see some decent weather towards end of July and into August and September.
The gardening is coming along nicely this year so far. We have finally given the front of the house some much needed "curb appeal" and as soon as I can save some more money, I will start working on the back a bit more. I am going to do a checkerboard garden in the back which I am really excited about.
More to come on that later.

Hello everyone!

Well, I guess I've done the whole "life is too busy to write thing again..why is it we let work, housework, and the other everyday hum drum necessities of life take up all of our time and take us away from what is really important, like nurturing our creative souls through artistic expression?I work

I love to paint...I love to write...i love to draw....i love to decorate...and yet, i never seem to have time to do those things because I work 12 hour days and between that, and spending time with partner, friends, keeping up with housework and the dog and cats and everything else, there is very little time left for nurturing myself.

I feel a very huge problem with that and it's something that needs to change.

And today is the day that happens.

Rainy Sunday Morning

It's early, but I am the type that when I wake up, it's time to get up. Especially if I've had a good night's sleep, which thankfully last night I did. It's the first good sleep that I've had all week. Work has been busy for me and somewhat stressful, but I see lights at the end of the tunnel so I am pleased.
I am hoping it's a little nicer out later so I can do some gardening. My neighbour who lived next door in the basement apartment died last November, and the landlords upstairs told us if we wanted to dig up all of her plants. She has a decent garden over there, with lots of lillies, some hostice, and some other stuff that's just starting to grow so I don't know what it is! Anyway, I am going to take her up on her offer, but I need some decent weather to do it, and right now it's rainy and windy.
