Grateful April 5

With everything going on with the Corona virus and being in lock down, I thought we could all use a reminder that we are lucky to have all that we do. So I am going to post something I am grateful for everyday while this goes on. I hope you will all join in with me. There is always bad out in the world. Lets shine a light on the good. Stay healthy everyone.

 Today I am grateful for the beautiful weather. It is 65 and sunny with a slight breeze. We have been outside all day. I need a nap now. We have been doing yard work and getting lots done on the garden. I planted 4 bins of potatoes(1st time). Hubby built me a rack to put them on. I planted more strawberries. We transplanted some raspberry plants that were growing through out the yard. I then tied them up. Plus we did a yard cleanup of leaves and sticks. The weather was perfect to get it all done. 

 What are you grateful for today?

    Son and grandson visited today. Son serviced my lawnmower and I watched grandson shoot baskets. (All outside, at least 6 feet apart). I've been grounded by my kids and no visitors allowed inside. I'm grateful we can still see each other and for the help they give me.

    I was happy about the weather. too. It was about 84 at 5 pm, so it must have been higher today.

    Grateful for lovely neighbors who came over and had a driveway chat, while social distancing ourselves.

    Hello and yes we all have reason to be grateful at the moment and thinking positively. I was thinking of you from Australia and wondering if you and your family were well.

    We are also in lockdown here but I am pleased there has been a massive decrease in infection rates from 25% last month to 5% this month so that is something to be grateful for.

    Today we are grateful for -
    - A nice sunny day to get some work done in the yard.
    - Our ability to split our firewood we got for free from helping a neighbour to clear trees before all this started.
    - For both of us being healthy.

    Have a great day :).

I hope everyone is healthy and doing alright with our new normal. When the weather permits I have been out side working on the gardens. My kale never died the winter because it was so mild. It recently started growing again.  I was able to pick a nice bunch this morning. I will be incorporating it into our meals this week. YD loves smoothies and always tosses some kale in. The gardening season has finally begin! Have you harvested anything from your garden yet this year?

Dirt

At 7 am Saturday morning a truck came and dropped of 8 yards of topsoil. Then Hubby, the kids and I got to work. It was a beautiful day out, sunny and 60 degrees. Perfect for hard labor. We have a wheel barrel and a garden wagon that can dump. 4 shovels in hand and off we went.  We had several trees taken down a few years ago. Then 2 years ago we had the driveway done. Last year we had the siding on the house done. Time to fix the lawn. We have lots of dips in the front and back yard from all of the work. I am a little clumsy and have fallen several times in them. We were able to level out the front yard and fill in the holes in the back yard. The back yard has a large hill so it will never be level but it is more of a gentle slope now. Some places didn't get dirt because they didn't need it.  We ordered pizza since I was too tired to cook. After dinner Hubby spread grass seed everywhere. Today it is raining lightly.  It was hard work but we got it done and h
