Welcome spring ❤ We’ve had enough Winter.
As my husband said I planted my seeds in the greenhouse last winter (two weeks ago).
It was quite a project to repair the greenhouse. One of my grandchildren hit a roof panel with a soccer ball last season. As a result, the panel needed to be replaced.
Well, a couple of years ago, hail hit the roof. The roof panels on the east side were filled with wholes and gunk. Luckily the side panels on the east side are beside the fence and were like new. We cut plywood to replace the east side panels. We painted the plywood white on both sides for protection. This also made the inside bright. Then we cut the side panels to fit the roof. And Voila! New roof.
Then we took one of the old panels to replace the broken one. A good no cost project completed with a little ingenuity. 😉

St Joseph’s Day celebrates the earthly father of Jesus. He knew he wasn’t the biological father of the baby Mary had conceived. Despite this, he stepped up and married Mary. Then he treated this blessed step-son like his own. Providing for Jesus’ human needs and teaching him to be a carpenter.
It’s a day to celebrate all the Father’s that stepped up when their biological father wasn’t able to.

Not only is is St. Patrick’s Day, but is the anniversary of my first day of work at Canada Post in 1980.
I’ve been retired for 13 years. I’m very thankful for all the people I worked with and met during my working years. I’m also very thankful for my pension. There were times when I resented the money taken off my paycheck each month. But now when the money is deposited into my account I’m glad it wasn’t a choice as the return each month is much greater than the monthly payments 😉
The weather this year is much nicer than that first day of work. There was a terrible ice storm. I had to drive across London to return to our first apartment on Berkshire Drive. I don’t miss the commute to work.
I’ve already purchased my Provincial Park Pass for the year.
