It was such a nice day today! My husband had today off since it’s Good Friday so we took advantage of the great weather (24 C! 75 F unheard of temps here in Toronto for early April) and spent several hours outside tidying up the garden.
We spent a lot of time working on the garden beds in the front of the house. Of course this is always slow going because we know a LOT of our neighbors so we were stopping to talk to them briefly every so often.
While we were outside we saw our old awful renter neighbors drive by a few times. They seem to be hanging out at a house down a side street that’s opposite our house so we can see them quite easily. Since our old neighbors and the people they are hanging out with are basically criminals my husband and I thinking of putting in some kind of security system … maybe one of those wireless security systems of course we’ll have to price it out, but with people like that hanging around we’ll feel better knowing we have a security system.
After we were finished tidying up the front garden beds and moving a few plants around (ever try digging up a rose that’s been in place for 10 years? AH!) we did a bit of work in the backyard and then my husband fired up the BBQ.
We just finished eating some fantastic tasting hamburgers. I was starving so it’s great to have that tasty food in me!
Did you take advantage of the holiday today and perhaps get some yard work done as well? Or maybe you got together with family?

Boy do I wish it was in the 70s where I live. I am so ready for spring and warm weather. I just love the outdoors and love bbq pizza. You should try it sometime.

hai…. I also have a wonderful day to day… I go to the bookstore with my kids, lunch at our fave resto and spent an afternoon by watching cartoon films.. 🙂
*anyway… its a right decision to put some kind of security system for your house..

I’m in California, and this year the weather was a little disappointing, so I’m taking advantage of every little bit of sun and warmth we’re getting…
