squirrel and biker explosion

 This morning there were squirrels all over my lawn running around. Some went into the garage so I had to evict them. I am not sure if there was a squirrel convention that I was not invited to!

When walking home from Food basics there was also a biker parade. It lasted from when I walked from Sir John A to Bath along Princess so I was glad I hadn't wanted to cross the road at that time.

James worked from 7am to 11pm yesterday and was out the door at 8am today to work in Napanee. 

I bought him new pillows yesterday as his old ones were rather flat!

Not a good quality picture as I was walking

interviews

 This week has been a week of interviews. Trying to keep on top of all my other work while doing interviews as well.

James' team had a championship game today but lost.

Trying to work on getting him a new passport.

Also working on our charitable tax form. The bookeeper had been working on getting someone to audit but said he wasn't able to get someone at a good price so suggested that I also look so that is a new task added.

Manure and Lilacs

 I spent a week away at an Ellel retreat on Wolfe Lake. A beautiful place and beautiful people. There was no wifi, cell service or TV in the center. I did a course on emotional honesty which involved video teaching, activities and people supporting to pray with you. The food was amazing. Overall a wonderful experience even though I did some challenging work. Some days were cold but most days we could get out and have some fresh air as well. As it was out in the country when you walked you could alternately smell manure and lilacs and I thought that seemed like a good way to describe the week.

Spring is in the air!

 I didn't need to wear my winter coat today!

Had a nice walk to Giant Tiger for cookies for James and Food Basics for some sales. Could smell flowers on the way.

Hung a load of laundry out.

There are some people on our street who have signs that say "No mow May" to let lawn grow wild for the benefit of pollinators. The neighbour mowed today so did not follow no mow May. My front lawn is already pretty wild with lots of dandelions so I don't think it will be possible to do "No mow May" and still be able to get my mower through at the end so I may mow today as well.

James came home yesterday and dramatically said that he no longer had a car. He explained that he gave his keys and wallet to LeeAnne for safe keeping in her purse but she went home before him and so Ryan had to give him a ride home. He reclaimed his car today!

moving

 Lots of people moving today. Some of my summer students started today. One of them was also trying to move but the other people had not moved out properly and the property management people were having to clean it out.

Also, trying to move out marks to the students as quickly as possible!
