On The Cusp

@LadyDuck It is just gorgeous outside now. The sun is shining and it is 22C. We made our trip out to the next little town to get our garden plants. We planted 4 beefsteak and 4 cherry tomato plants as well as 4 sweet red pepper plants. In the large planter I did only flowers. I had some autumn splendor sedum to separate, and put some of those across the back of the large planter, with some nice dusty Miller plants in front of them. The dusties usually come back the next year, that will be nice to see. We put a row of pink and white velvet begonias in front of that and across the very front we planted potato vines so that they can cascade down in front of the planter. It really takes alot of water.

The sun broke out here this afternoon, after it stopped raining.

@Juliaacv W had a sunny day, I even arrived to mow the lawn. The grass was so wet.

@Juliaacv .......They are crushed ice in a cone-shaped cup with different flavorings pouring over them.

I recall the name, but not sure if that is a popsickle or a freezie.

@celticeagle We call those snow cones. I do remember them.

Yeah, it is new internet day today, glad that it is here. Is it fibre optic lines that they have laid for you to connect to?

@Juliaacv Mine now is only 49.00 per month. I was paying almost twice that with my former provider.

@snowy22315 When we lived in the country, which I assume that you do, we did not have cable lines outside of town. We had dsl internet, which ran over a dedicated second line from Bell-a phone line. Here we are in a newer area and there are fibreoptics, which are like lines made of glass and can send the speeds quicker, apparently. It is also over $100 per month, so not cheap. But based on the fact that we only stream on free apps, it does save us.

Thank you. Yesterday my husband and I took a nice drive over to the next town and went to the garden nursery there. We returned with lots of bedding flowers and vegetables which we happily planted. We are monitoring them today to make sure that the ground isn't over/under watered as it is quite warm already and it isn't even noon yet. Enjoy your weekend.

@thelme55 I'm glad that you enjoyed your weekend. We planted dusty millers, begonias, potato vines and split up some autumn splendour sedum and replanted those. We also planted 4 sweet red pepper plants 4 cherry tomato plants and 4 beefsteak tomato plants.

@Juliaacv Hat flowers and vegetables have you planted? Thank you. I enjoyed my weekend.

I hope that it isn't too terribly busy at work today. I would like to go out to Canadian Tire and get a couple of things for the garden after I finish working this afternoon. I hope that you can see your hubby again really soon.

@LindaOHio Thanks, it was a bit stressful. They are launching a new version of the software for the database that we use and that limited the bandwidth we had to work with. Things were a bit slow, copy and paste didn't work, little annoyances, but nothing huge.

@Juliaacv I hope your work day wasn't too stressful. Have a great weekend.

Yes, as in Queen Victoria.

@Juliaacv great, enjoy!

Relax and enjoy!

Yes, I believe that your holiday is the weekend following ours.

@Juliaacv I know it's coming up, I just forget when. You might be right though. It's usually around the end of May.

Yes, and Victoria Day is one of the few days in the year that fireworks are allowed. It is a great and celebratory weekend.

I finished working a little while ago and am already relaxing nicely.

Thank you. Enjoy the usual weekend.

@Juliaacv Thank you. I plan on movie binging.

Thank you. I am really looking forward to an extra day off. And we are expecting a nice weekend as far as the weather is concerned also, which is a bonus. Today I think that it will rain, but after that we will be looking at nice weather.

Thank you, just today left to work. They usually go out to visit our daughter-in-law's mother on the long weekend to do her yardwork, as she cannot do it alone. I'm not sure if we will see them or not. My hubby tells me that the girls have asked for me every morning this week when he walks in.

Good luck with connecting with them.

@Juliaacv Thank you for the good luck.

Enjoy getting rid of the clutter and visiting with Naomi. I think that we are going to get our plants tomorrow, we will see what the weather dictates.

I think that we are ready now.

I am looking forward to this long weekend. It will be so nice to have an extra day to relax.
