Bonjour6.9ºC
It rained all day yesterday ...on and off ...and on again.
We did pick up my two plants ...and then headed to Gravenhurst for more water. Which meant a trip to Canadian Tire (LOL) ...I stepped into the grocery store for two things.
The rest of the day ...stitching and darts. David made ice ...all day long. The ice maker is not running now ...so thinking he has enough.
Today ... well first thing into the kitchen. Dishes are calling my name. Other than that ... it will be a lot of a repeat of yesterday. But you never know ...will David head outside to do some work there?? If so, I will probably follow him. I think steak for supper ...BBQ ...LOL ...I usually leave BBQing to David. I see he pulled bacon out of the freezer ...he makes breakfast ...two meals in one day ...yeah David!!! Yup, I am laughing in the inside.
Darts flew well for me again yesterday ....I can only hope this continues.
Take care. Hugs

Forgot to mention ...when I went to pick up the plants and walked by an evergreen...I was startled as Mother Robin squawked at me ....David in the vehicle saw me jump. From there he could also hear her. I looked ...and there at eye level ...a nest with 3 baby blue eggs in it. She continued to squawk at me ... until I had my plants and left. Of course, I babbled at her in return.

Good morning.Cool here, windy and raining. It should delight DS as he hates doing deliveries when it is hot.
Good day yesterday. We also went to CT, DH wanted some more beans. They went immediately into the ground when he got home. I do believe spring fever is getting him out of the recliner and I am thrilled.
Went to knitters group last night. Our hostess is back and it was lovely having her there with only three extras. One lady just takes over the whole thing, annoying but she is a wonderful knitter and loves to help if anyone hits a snag. I do think, however, that some are no longer coming because of her non-stop chatting. It is nice to get together and chat but some of the ladies are working on intricate patterns that require concentration. Oh, well. I brought socks to work on, no thinking required part.
DH and I went to Boston Pizza for dinner. This will be the last dinner outing for a while as I went through the freezer when we came back and we still have some bison that needs to be eaten. We all love the stuff. Not sure if he will dig out the little briquette BBQ as the old gas one went to the dump last year and he does not want a new one.
Today I do have a couple of easy chores and then I think I will take out Farmers Market. I noticed a whole bunch more of those crazy little flowers in another area and although I am not one to stitch here and there, I think this might be something I should probably do as the rest will be easy going. I have also started another pair of slippers last night while watching a movie but I will put knitting aside today. I also need to have at least one good guitar practice, possibly two as I know DS will be staying home tonight so I will not be by myself, tough to practice then. This cuts into my alone schedule but whatever.
Have a great day everyone.
Joan in B.C.

Since when did Canadian Tire (or is it Canada Tire) sold groceries? I remember when it sold nothing but tires, and perhaps a few odds and ends, but never groceries.I'm originally from British Columbia, and moved to Texas in '99. Been here since. Thinking about visiting family in BC, but not sure when. Hubby and I have been checking out the flight costs from DFW to YVR... going to need to pay off a few things before we make that trip, I tell ya.

Angela, I don't think they sell groceries other than snacks (ie chips & candy) - at least none that I have been in recently do.
However, this time of year, most do have garden centres, and I took the purchase of beans at CT to be bean plants for the garden.
