Today is going to be a beautiful day ! the temperature is rising to 18* and very little w ind. A good day to rake leaves again and mulch the flower beds. We have 3 bags of leaves for ED to put on her flower beds. Her trees are not large enough to produce enough leaves for mulch, and besides it is so windy where she lives, that those that did fall were blown away. I'm hoping to cut down the day lilies and irises and our Hansard rose. We'll do this after we go grocery shopping. The fridge is quite empty ! A stop at the bank is also in order as I need to deposit YS's room and board.
Last Sunday and Monday were extremely windy and rainy. No work was done outside, and truth be told, not a whole lot inside !! I didn't think I'd like having our Thanksgiving meal on the Saturday, but it was great. We had such nice weather on Saturday that we were able to spend a lot of time outside. then everyone in the family did their own thing for the next two days . ED and YD went with friends to the Madonna concert and stayed downtown in a hotel. They had a blast !
This week we watched baseball, and good basaeball it was ! So nice to have something positive and Canadian after this long, long federal election. It was tense, exciting and the conclusion is exactly what we wanted ! Last night the Jays lost to Kansas City. A good pitcher always beats good hitters !! They'll come back !
This morning I've woven in the ends of three shawls so they're done. Still haven't decided what I'll do next. I need to get something in my hands as on Monday I'll be glued to the tv for Election results. I had predicted at the start of the campaigning that Justin Trudeau would come tight up the middle [ I have witnesses ! ] and I do hope he winds. It is time to get rid of the old whiteman's club, with their fear mongering. Our MP will get in-- she has done nothing but be the mouth piece for the 'dictator' Harper, but she'll still get in. I hope it is with a much smaller majority. What I would love is a surprise and have her gone !! It is nice to see the young vote and I do hope they come out. It is their future and their vision of Canada. We have lost our place in the world.
YGS will be dropped off this afternoon by his other grandma. They have been most generous to ES... buying him a good car ! ES didn't want to accept it, but we told him to humble himself and accept it as it isi also for YGS's safety. ON tuesday, YGS spsent 2 hours doing 'school work' with me. sometimes he was the teacher and made a worksheet for me. I have heard every song he's learned, every letter was practiced, and new words were learned. He is so enthusiastic about school, loving everything about it ! Good to see and hear, although the 2 hours nearly did me in ! I have children all day and I'm tired. When he went home, he spent another r2 hours with ED practicing letters ! LOL It took time away from her homeowrk, but as she said, ' How can you resist ? "
No one is up yet so I'll check the flyers and make my list.
