Around the house…

We had a pleasant surprise last week when we found that the gnarly old tree in our backyard started blooming.  It turns out we have an old crab apple tree! It’s in full bloom now and looks so, so pretty

The weather has turned so nice in the last few days. I’ve spent most of my evenings outside with Oliver, playing ball and weeding our very sad backyard.  This weekend is Victoria Day Weekend, which means I have some extra time off.  I have lots of sewing to do, but am also going to make some time to start planting in the gardens we dug over the last few weeks.  This will be my first real foray in to gardening!
