And to top it all off...we have a winter storm warning! You read that right...a snowfall and high wind warning has been issued for tonight and tomorrow.
Winter is far from done with us. It is not uncommon to have Nor'easter storms in April or May! I remember one Easter weekend, my sister and Mr. Seventies parents arrived...Good Friday was a beautiful spring day. Saturday and Easter Sunday....we had a blizzard! Two days of blinding snow and winds...we were house bound both days. Then...on Easter Monday...the sun came out...and it was a beautiful day! Spent shovelling vehicles out of snow and clearing walkways!
Today...is the calm before the storm. It's going to be a gorgeous day...great for getting some fresh air and taking walks.
Mr. Seventies, has been our designated shopper...and while picking up a few things...he surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of tulips & sugar free chocolates! Really brightened up my day...but he has a habit of doing that!
We have an Easter basket of goodies for our new grand baby...sadly we are still unable to meet her. And she is seven days old today! Even though we Face Time with daughter and get to see them virtually, it is not the same. And so difficult not to be able to hold Annabelle and snuggle with her. We plan to leave her duck basket on their front step...that will be as close as we get to her....daughter and I both have shed a lot of tears...as this was not the way our new arrival was supposed to go. But we are healthy and doing what needs to be done...so we can put this pandemic behind us...let's hope it's sooner rather than later....
It's difficult to stay motivated on freshening up our home for spring...but doing a little bit at a time helps. I've been wanting to try LED flickering candles for a while now....and these ones on Amazon have great reviews...and remotes...I'll be able to set them in different spots inside and out and in lanterns...apparently these ones have a lifelike wax feel to them. I'm anxious to receive them and see how they look...
The cushion I ordered from Bed Bath & Beyond arrived...and it will be a perfect addition to the master bedroom. Still waiting on the other decor pieces I ordered...
Mr. Seventies has been able to do some lawn raking outside...where the snow had melted. Numerous Crocus are up...adding some much needed colour. For the first time....ever...we placed our vegetable seed order with Vesey's...online. Most years we take the 10-15 minute drive to their store and shop in person...but that is not possible this year. I read a piece in the local newspaper where they are swamped with mail orders from all across the country....and many seeds have sold out. Which is what prompted us to get an order in...Mr. Seventies also ordered a couple of packages of flower seeds to start inside and transplant later. One item not available...seed potatoes! We prefer red potatoes and since they were sold out at Vesey's...Mr. Seventies was able to pick up a bag at our local grocery store...and when they root...he will plant them. Ironically they were about $7 cheaper a bag...as opposed to getting them at the garden centre.
Lastly, my little angel...snuggled in her stroller while out for a walk in the beautiful fresh air with her parents....and big brother Benson...carried by her Dad in a sling (he is still in recovery from his back surgery).
And that, my friends...sums about what has been happening in our little part of the Island. Wishing everyone again a very Happy & Blessed Easter. Til next time.....
