A Beautiful Day...

It has been a long time since we've posted,so I thought I should put something up in case any one was wondering if we still existed.
Since our last post we have made some renovations to our new place. Changing all the knobs on the kitchen cupboards, putting in some new light fixtures, and quite a bit of painting.
My parents came to visit for the Easter long weekend, which seemed to go by much too quickly, but we managed to get some house things done with their help as well as do some sight-seeing too. Alas, the moose were elusive that weekend, and we only saw two from very far away!!! Maybe next time, Mum.
This weekend I painted the kitchen and started on some lawn work, by getting some grass seed and a hose. I've done a section and we'll see how quick it grows in. Today was an absolutely gorgeous day. I don't know the temp, but I know I was wearing a tshirt and capris and even though I was eating a popsicle in the backyard, I was still very warm. I also had to go and find a hat because I could feel my head starting to burn!
Chris got his bike out today because he is planning to ride it to and from work now that the weather has turned so much nicer! He just needs to go and get some air for his tires and he is good to go!
We had a picnic in the park today at lunch time, which Scout really enjoyed. In fact she has been outside nonstop today since about 10 this morning. Tonight we're having another yummy barbeque! If only it was Friday night and we still had two more days to our weekend!
HOpe everyone else had a nice weekend too!! I know there was good weather in Winnipeg.

HI
It was beautiful here to- 23 degrees at least- Colin and I went for an 1.5 hour long walk through the neighbourhood looking for landscaping ideas. Than we slept on the back deck for a couple hours- I got a sunburn- ouch!- we too had BBQ for dinner- yummy is right.

aww, i didn't get to do anything fun with the warm weather this weekend, but i'm happy that everyone else did!! How come no one ever invites me over for bbq (*mary*). Scout sure sounds like she is enjoying the backyard. you'll have to put up a recent picture of Scout so we can all see how big the puppy is getting!!
