For a while there I was doubtful that summer would happen but after waking up to sunshine that lasted the entire day and spending most of my wakeful hours outdoors, I'm confident that spring is indeed drifting into summer. The leaves are almost in full bloom on the trees, which is earlier than normal and spells one very messy 'fluff fest' for our household. Yes - the three ginormous poplar trees beside our house are going to start shedding very soon. Stay tuned for updates on that fiasco.
Back to summer - Ruby and I started the day by going for a walk around Jones Lake. I've been really worried that her resistance to being restrained would be a big problem once the baby comes. I haven't been able to enjoy taking her for walks in the stroller since she learned to walk, which was 9 months ago! As soon as I strapped her in, she would fuss and basically make both of us miserable, so I gave up. Today was amazing. She was relaxed and seemed to enjoy herself as much as I did. This is good news because I have to get out there walking. When Ruby was born, we walked every single morning until fall drifted into winter..... and I intend to do the same this time around with both of them. And, for the next 6 weeks I intend to make it around that lake as many times as possible. I may need to ask a stranger if I can use their washroom halfway around...... wouldn't that be hilarious? No, I really hope that never happens (but it's a distinct possibility). I'll just bring some t.p. with me in case of an emergency.
Anyway, it was a lovely day and the long weekend is here. The weather is supposed to be wonderful.
We've still got some yard work to do and we're breaking ground tomorrow for our new fence!
Pictures of all the activities are a priority.
Happy Weekend!
