What Blooms in Your Garden? · Seven Day Weekend

We got weeds!

Pretty as they may be, they are irritants.

But I got my little helper:

Today’s Daybook: May 20, Friday (11:20am)

Outside my window… a beautiful spring day that holds a lot of promise… and hubby’s out there mowing the lawn!

I am remembering… this day eleven years ago in my white dress and a man beside me.

I am wearing… summer shorts. It’s 23˚c outside. Yay!

I am creating… my painting is still a work-in-progress. I used sea sponge for the first time. The reflection on the water needs more work.

**I am hearing…** just the commercial on TV

Around the house… the same routine stuff going on

A few plans for the rest of the week… host dinner for my uncle (my dad’s brother) who will be here for a week. He’s attending a symposium in downtown Montréal.

Something that made me smile (and laugh) lately… the Mothers Day cards that my boys made for me. They’re so sweet.

From Marco: On est si petit, le monde est si grand; Que serait la vie, sans notre maman. His translation: When we are small, the world is big. What would life be without our mom.

*Ce que je veux te dire par-dessus tout c’est que je t’aime beaucoup et merci pour la maison.*

*J’aimerais t’offrir un coupon pour laver les ustensiles de cuisine. (I want to give you a coupon for cleaning the cooking utensils)*

I laughed when I saw the coupon. That would be a big help. So I asked if he can give me more coupons…

He gave me another coupon for washing the dishes.

And a breakfast in “bread” coupon. I’m sure he meant breakfast in “bed”. 🙂

An “extreme careful” coupon?… whatever that means.

And then it gets funny…

A “brush well” coupon. tee hee I always tell them to brush their teeth well… to them it’s a task.

And a “bath well” coupon!???! Now I’m second guessing them… don’t they scrub themselves well that I need a coupon just so they do it properly?

*Boy [boi] -noun. A noise with some dirt on it. Sometimes it stinks.*

Something I am grateful for… true friends

And a video to share:
