A Saturday with Grampa

It was a great day for Imogen to visit with Grandpa all day last Saturday when both of her parents needed a break and were not feeling well. The first thing that we did was buy a battery for the van that will soon be sold. Then we went to the Coop where the Saskatoon Pipe band was playing. After picking up some groceries we left for the acreage where Imogen checked out the pond. (We don't have the fish in it yet.) Imogen got to swing in the hammock chair and to be read to by her grandma. Later we went to the 20th celebration of Heather and Murray Smith's wedding anniversary were Imogen had supper. We finally got her back to her parents by about 8:00 in the evening.

Finally Spring has arrived

Ruth was able to rescue a crocus plant from the side of the road and was able to transplant it and it has flourished in one of her flower beds. She put a small fence around it to keep the deer and rabbits from eating the flowers.

I cleaned up the garden and put a pile of leaves in the corner of it for composting. I am hoping to finish planting the garden today.

I finally got a wood chipper to get rid of the many tree branches that have accumulated over the years. We'll use the wood chips around some trees to keep the weeds down and help preserve moisture.
