OK, Another purchase, but not for me , i bought it for deklen....... Sort of.
I did not go to wal mart or Canadian tire but our local cycle shop in airdrie. CRANKED. They were very knowledgeable, understanding of my totally stupid questions, made me understand the which is better and why and were also very cute. So that helped in my decision. They fit me to a bike, adjusted the handlebars, seat, did a full check on the "bike hoist" (holds the bike in the air by the frame) of brakes, and chain and such. I also get a one year warranty and a full one year inspection and adjustment (value of $80.) So here it is. YAAAY I just Need it to stop snowing now. The reason it is for deklen is that i will be towing the chariot for a year or two or three. Then when deklen decides to ride his own bike i can also ride along with him. No way i am being left behind. So all in all it is for fun with my son, and that is what matters.

What a difference Great dirt makes to flowers! This shooting star i had in my old flowerbed for 3 years in a what i thought was ok dirt. Well here at my new house its magic dirt.
The most i got out of this plant was one year i got one stalk of flowers. And i thought that was good. After being transplanted twice it still managed to bloom and look at all the stalks of flowers coming!
And my pretty tulip - i just love the color.

Ok, well the usual May long weekend yard work, and it being my NEW yard, it was some good changes.
The backyard before...The backyard after. On the left i took out the flowerbed and the small 3/4 dead shrub and sodded over it. I added a brick border along the garage wall as there are Lilly of the valley coming up and the grass was more mossy than anything anyway.I ran low voltage lights around the perimeter and i have one light i am fixing and haven't finished putting all the mulch down yet. But it'll look fantastic and CLEAN once finished. And a 500KG load of washed round rock to help make the side much more tidy looking. Mowing this area was SUCH a pain as well as the grass was half dead as you can see in the pic below.Much Much better.And a clean up of a small play area and gravel added with weed barrier of course.

Well i have found out that my house was just for me. Unexpectedly last night i have had the front windows open and this wonderful flower scent was coming in and i found out that wow my tree was budding and blooming AND smelled fantastic! So of course off i went on the inernet to search what it was and found out it was a Mayday tree. Its just for me.

And below is my snowmound spirea. Blooms galore and its just started.

So i went to canmore for the Rocky Mountain Soap Company Womens Run this last sunday. It was a 12km or 6 km walk / run.This was the view from our chalet. It would be awesome to see this every morning. There were about 1000 women running and walking and it was crowded.

The trail was a bit muddy in spots but mostly dry.

This is the group I went up with. Left to right - Michelle, bridget,susan, kim, korin and myself.

And a quick snap of cindy kim and I.It was an absolute gorgeous day out.

And wow how dorky do I look in motion, but at least i crossed the finish line in one piece. We walked about 80% of it and sprinted the last bit.

So again my helper today at 7:45 watering my shrubs. i gotta get him his own small watering can so he can lift one himself and he would love that. Today we walked about 3.5 KMS with the chariot and about 2 last evening at 7 pm. I love walking with that it is great.
Just a cutie picture .

Yeah that silly suckie is still there the odd time, rrrrg. Thats his Cheeeeeeze smile.

And Just a pic from the park.
