Day 130


I love a good sunset.

My last sunset picture was just over a week ago and there were no leaves on the trees! Wow!

Day 128


A pair of tree swallows checking out one of the bird houses.

Day 127


This is the first time that I have planted annuals when the tulips are just starting to bloom (because of the late spring).

Day 125


All the leaves bursting out.

❤Joanne

Day 124

The leaves have come out over the weekend!


Maple (not the syrup or Canadian flag kind, that's out east).


Hawthorn.

Day 123


We had a huge thunderstorm today - above 30℃ (mid 80's℉) temperatures for 2 days, so it was bound to happen.
At the beginning of the week there was freezing temperatures and now summer has arrived!
Hopefully it is here to stay.


There was a double rainbow after the storm.

Day 122


Last night - almost 10pm and still light.
The leaves are just starting to come out.

❤Joanne

Day 120


All the plants came in for the night - just in case it freezes.

Day 118


A good day of rain. Maybe May showers will bring June flowers!

❤Joanne

Day 117


Time for barbecuing! First time this year.

❤Joanne

Day 116


First blooms of the year! Forsythia.

Day 115


I hung the laundry out to dry for the first time this year.

❤Joanne

Day 114


Our home - May 2014.

❤Joanne

Day 113


I thought that my photo of the day would be the fact that we had snow this morning, 
but this happened at noon -


The shed for the baseball diamonds behind our home was on fire!


This was later in the day.
Word on the street is that it was an electrical fire.

❤Joanne

Day 112


We'll be eating rhubarb in no time!

❤Joanne

Day 111


I am knitting mittens with the yarn I spun last week.

❤Joanne

Day 110


I thought this cloud looked interesting.

❤Joanne

Day 109


Another beautiful day for 'spring clean-up' - the lawn this time.

❤Joanne

Day 108


Before


After

I cleaned up all the flower beds ready for planting.
Lots of plants show no signs of life - I am hoping it is because it is still unusually cold, and not because they didn't survive the harsh winter.

❤Joanne

Day 107


I assume this is the same sparrow from Day 92 - he has been there the whole time.

❤Joanne

Day 106


I finished the quilt top and knitting a scarf, so I started something new - a spinning project with fibre that I dyed.

❤Joanne

Day 105


Today all the snow tires came off the cars and were replaced with the summer tires!

❤Joanne

Day 104


The last of the snow this morning.


By this afternoon - whoo-hoo! It's finally all gone!


This is a flock of swans that flew by this evening - the first flock I have seen this year.

❤Joanne

Day 103


Today our oldest son is 23 - my husband made the cake - strawberry black forest cake -it was delicious.


The last of the snow was spread around to speed melting.
There is baseball practice going on in the field.

❤Joanne

Day 102


These blocks are becoming this - 



❤Joanne

Day 101


These tulips came up since yesterday (that section of the garden has a lot of rocks!).


That's what +15℃ does!

❤Joanne

Day 100!


The first tree to bud - a Spirea.
