Ok this is weather is getting much better finally. Not much on the agenda today other than enjoy this wonderful warm sunny spring day. Outside to enjoy the fresh air and spotted this guy looking at me beside the car.
 |
sunrise this morning the same as yesterday
just amazing |
 |
| watched this guy for a bit then he headed up the tree |
Headed out for a nice country drive about 7:30 this morning, just because I could and wanted to enjoy this quiet Sunday morning. Down a few new back roads into New Hamburg picked up a few things at Sobey's and around town then back home.
 |
| snow is pretty well gone |
 |
| nice new large log cabin being built |
 |
| quiet country roads around here |
Below is a nice mural on the side of the fire hall in New Hamburg.

Back home and we all got outside to enjoy this amazing warm sunny day.
 |
| couple of icebergs still here |
Cleaning up the yard leaves and mostly branches that have fallen.
 |
| this branch fell off a tree and planted it self in the lawn. |
Dennis and Sandy had picked up a nice 48 inch lawn sweeper and I volunteered to assemble it. Something I enjoy doing. First I checked to make sure all the parts are here. Stopped to make a nice light lunch then back to playing around with the parts, nuts and bolts reading the instructions (yes I read instructions!)
 |
| all the parts are here |
After lunch I set to work getting it all together, by myself until it came time for the bag on the back. at that point Dennis, Sandy and Suzie stopped for a break. I need a few extra hands. Well after a few wrong moves we finally got it all together and think it will sure do the job they want it to do. Sweep the lawn, and pick up the leaves, they do have a huge property, plus the farm, lotsa trees and leaves like I have never seen before.
 |
| all ready to go, just hook up behind the tractor and away they go. |
In the meantime they all worked in part of the yard, even Suzie ! Raking a bit , picking up branches and enjoying this warm sunny day, exercise and fresh air. I enjoyed it in the driveway sunshine playing with the sweeper.
 |
| Suzie hard at work |
 |
| and again |
Finally we all had enough about 2 pm time to relax, So we got our lawn chairs out and enjoyed our e-readers in the warm afternoon sun, 65F (18C) so nice to relax outside again on a warm spring day enjoying our books.
 |
| this was a wonderful afternoon. |
 |
| clear blue skies here in the bush |
 |
| almost short weather! |
Soon time for supper and we decided to enjoy a nice fish fry with Dennis and Sandy. They had a package of fish filets so I made a salad, Sandy made some rice and I pan fried the fish and a few shrimp all coated in Roasted Garlic and Butter Fishcrisp. Quick easy and so very tasty.

| ready to fry |

Where have we been this summer?
We have a lawn sweeper too that hibernates in the attic until fall when we get all the leaves from our neighbor's trees. It sure helps a lot and does what it's supposed to do, sweep up. You did a good job assembling it.
ReplyDeleteI am sure they will enjoy it. I had fun assembly;ing it as well. Outside sunshine on an wonderful spring day !
DeleteEnjoyed catching up on your blog, and the hockey game. Nice win! Looks like you'll be kept busy again this Spring despite a slow start. Fish looks good for your dinner.
ReplyDeleteThanks for catching up Jeff, it was nice to see a hockey game again. Spring is here finally stating with a nice fish fry.
DeleteGood job on the sweeper. I have found that sometimes the instructions are written by someone that has never actually put the thing together. or that English isn't their first language. At least that is my excuse if I have trouble!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have spring there. We're not too far behind in Alberta.
It was fun putting together the sweeper, A little confusing near the end but we got it done looks like it will sure do the job.
DeleteSounds like spring has truly come to your neck of the woods. Nice pictures of the day and back roads.
ReplyDeleteSprings is here getting ready for your arrival in the UP.
DeleteSounds like you all had a great day. I can't believe that even the mud is drying up.
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful day, warm, sunny and drying up real nicely
DeleteI like the looks of the sweeper George, should do a good job. What a difference a day makes with the warm temperatures and the sun.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very nice one and I think it wild what they want,
DeleteGotta love this weather now !
Nice that it is warm enough to sit outside and can't beat a good fish fry.
ReplyDeleteWas so nicel to get outside again, and a good fish fry is always wonderful !
DeleteThat fish looks amazing, as always!! Your e-readers ... I'm wondering how you can see when out in the sun. Do they have some setting that makes the background whiter? I have an awful time reading my phone in the sun, and if I have sunglasses on, it's completely black.
ReplyDeleteThe fish was excellent as always.
DeleteI have a KOBO that works perfectly in the bright sun as you can tell from the pictures. I phone and Suzie's I pandit very good in the bright sun though.
Glad to see the nice weather has finally arrived in your neck of the woods.

Thanks , so are we !
DeleteIt's nice here on the left coast as well. 18°C today, perfect for planting stuff in the garden.
ReplyDeleteGotta love this weather, not quite time to plant here yet, another few weeks.
DeleteEnjoy your gardens.
You read the instructions? What kind of a guy are you? :cD
ReplyDeleteSorry , but it really did help with all those pieces.
DeleteWe used to have a sweeper just like that one. The trick was to keep the baler cord out of the sweeper brush.
ReplyDeleteYes I can see that would be an issue, thanks for the tip I will pass it on.
DeleteIt's nice to see you got rid of most of that snow. Summer is just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteYes the bathe much better wish I was !
DeleteGlad to see you two are enjoying the weather as much as we are. Nice to see the snow disappear. Suzie is raking! She will have slept well last night! :)
ReplyDeleteThis weather was amazing really gotta love it.
