eyes, view, and satiated

1 New glasses for our Isabelle! Pink of course, her favourite colour!

2 Lucky me! I get to sit on a bench in the shade and enjoy this view on my coffee break!

3 This is definitely a summer favourite this year! Tomato, soft mozzarella, pesto leaves and asparagus drizzled with oil and balsamic vinegar! 

3, gangbusters, ouch

1 I've been hired to work for 3 weeks at the finance office at our city hall. It's tax time y'all and in a word it's CRAZY!
2 Mr P is again going like gangbusters on the backyard and deck project. So far he's brought in 64 loads of fill with his dump trailer. That's equivalent to 32 dump truck loads!!
3 Mr P was just stung by a bee, possibly a hornet. He came running inside with a stinger still in his ear!! Benadryl cream to the rescue.

June's buds

ah ha

1 Time to get caught up!!! What's with that anyways? Well, too much work and not enough time to get much of anything else done?  Still, it feels good to be busy.
2 Mr P is working like crazy on our landfill adventure. Lots of soil and rocks brought in and tons more to go. We just finish one section and then make changes to the plans and we need more!! 
3 The back part of our yard is still steep so we decide to utilize every inch and see if we can make steps to the lower road. 
4 Family stop by for a night and a morning. We eat, drink and dance up a storm!! I thought we might move a bit more slowly the next day but we surprised ourselves and had a great breakfast and more visiting.
5 It's been fun getting into the routine of alternating workouts. I love walking and blitzing and am really enjoying the kettle bells as well.
6 Question to self: How much is too much?

mouser, get inside, affirmations, ouchie, smell, and two

1 Miss Tula is exhausted after catching some mice. She's growing side to side these days and now we know why. Mr P even takes a video of her playing with it. Poor thing.
2 She really wants to be outside at night but with the coyotes and other creatures out there it is not a good idea at all. 
3 Mr P and I share good the concept of affirmations. We try to have a short chat but it morphs a bit longer and we just go with it.
4 My hands are hurting and I'm going back to using some pain relief for them. I know the specific feeling that tells me that the bumps are growing. 
5 The rain smells like rain. Fresh, clean and refreshing.
6 Sitting side by side, just doing our own thing.

back to it, distractions, shade, walk it out, and blitz, pastels

1 I'm loving getting  back into an exercise routine. I've been trying to alternate between walking and kettle bells. Both give me what I need to keep focused on the goal, being "summer ready"!
2 A half day of work followed by lunch with Mr P and then driving around some neighbourhoods exploring.
3 After being in the house for a year now I realize the front door area is in the shade most of the day, so I changed a few of the plants and it's like magic. LOVE how the plants are thriving.. the others may have to be put into pots on the deck until the gardens are ready for planting, which might not be until next year. Definitely won't be until next year.
4 I wake in a grumpy mood so I take myself to the beach and walk, walk, and walk some more.
5 So if I'm walking I might as well be blitzing, and I do until I'm out of cards. I'm having fun planting seeds and waiting for my garden to grow with new business.
6 Last night's sunset.

inside or out, quest, and cleaned up

1 Monday brings sunshine in the morning but as the day goes by the rain, hail and big winds visit our house. Miss Tula isn't a big fan of foul weather and when the first few raindrops fall she in the house, purring and happy.
2 Mr P continues on his quest to get more fill brought into the backyard. It looks big when he dumps it but after he spreads it out and flattens it we both shake our heads and wonder where did it go?
3 This house is getting clean! I'm on a roll and getting it done. Beds, sheets, laundry, floors vacuumed and washed, cooking and freezing, and done!
