Since the Senators are out of the playoffs, I'm making do (quite nicely, actually) cheering for the Habs. The wonderful thing about hockey in the spring is that by the time it's all over you've seen so much of it you are glad to have done with it for a while. Hockey every night; at least there's always something entertaining on the telly, which is more than I can say for the rest of the schedule since the writers' strike. (If not for Lost and E.R., it's a total write-off, no pun intended)
We're outdoors quite a bit, enjoying the last of the warm weather, for a while at least. The forecast is for much cooler temperatures, starting tomorrow, and then warming back up to seasonal (around 15c) for a few weeks. This rush of summer has been beautiful, though.
Iain is transforming part of our spare bedroom into an open clothes storage space. There are no decent closets in the house, and this will be a huge improvement. We picked up the wood yesterday and made a start on it, and hopefully today will see some progress.

Get Fuzzy
I don't. Really. I wish it would go away.
There have to be better comic strips out there somewhere.

Nice Weather
It's warm outside! Yay!
This is turning into another busy month. Iain started his new job this week, so we are getting into the rhythm of the work week again. I'd really gotten used to the housework being done for me! Now that he's on the road several hours a day, I'm back to taking care of the bulk of it. I'd rather do it than have to do the driving he does. Anyway, it's the price we pay for living here instead of Ottawa.
Lots of church activities up to the middle of June, many of them involving baking. We have a meeting this month with another church, and then in May we're doing a tea & bake sale, and then our celebration service is at the end of May (with special music in the evening and a lunch afterward - more baking!).
It's all good, though. Good to be busy, and doing something worthwhile. Now that the nice weather is finally here, I'm not dragging my butt around so much. Spring gives a lift.

Valley Girl
Not everyone expects much from good ol' Renfrew County, but we do have some exceptional people living here with us hicks.

It's Winter....
Not a fan, but winter is something one survives (hopefully) so that spring may occur. I miss Stitches, very much. Fortunately, we have Jasp...
