Rain, Glorious Rain !!

Rain, Glorious Rain !!  And oh how we needed it ! Today we are under a heavy rainfall warning with rain lasting , certainly , until Monday.  It is our May longweekend, celebrating Queen Victoria's birthday or as it is commonly called 2-4 , but we don't mind that we have to stay indoors all day for the whole weekend. The furnace has come on to take the chill out of the house. Thankfully there is tv with with a PVR  and books !!.

Work was work. We found out on Friday that the support staff should all have their jobs next year. Funny how life changes. Years ago there was no thinking about working after retirement age. Here I am, nearly 67 and thrilled to be able to work another year. Now the question is, will my nemisis retire as she has said ? or will she hang on ? No one knows for sure. There is another staff member that she no longer talks to. Even more awkward than us as they work in the same wing. 

YS made it up to Grande Prairie around 7:30 pm and the next morning they were all on their way home because of a heavy rainfall warning - and the next day it snowed. Supposedly they will be back on Tuesday. Thursday the smoke from the Fort Mac fire came into town. It swirled around and picked up the smoke from the Fox Creek and Whitecourt fires. It was absolutely horrendous. Hubby could not breathe, my eyes were smarting. The air quality index went up to 10 for this area. 

Aside from the usual, I hemmed a pair of caargo pants for Hubby and am now up to 2 300 hexagons. I have calluses  on my fingertips !! Some tamato plants were put into the planters and  some black and orange tiger lilies were planted. We thought a rose bush was dead, but when I strted to take it out I noticed that there is still some life in it so I left it. We'll see how it does this year and then decide what to do with it.

Not much left of the school year. The ELI program is going to start to slowdown and I'll relieve teachers so that they can get some testing done.  Hopefully this week Hubby can get to frame the veggie garden so more planting can be done.
