June, 2021

 

June finally saw spring taking off with lots of beautiful weather. Combined with lots of watering, the flowers and veggies did take off, allowing for some cool flower pictures. All the more fun since Alfred got a new camera – Nikon Z50 – a mirrorless crop sensor camera. Love it sofar.

Other high points of the month including cleaning and launching the boat, saying goodbye to Alicia's trusted old van “Quatro” which was replaced by Cindy's van ( remember, Cindy got a new wheelchair van), a nice Father's day visit from the kids who used that time to stack some firewood, and Caleb's final schoolday.

To top things off – a picture of a famous building mural in downtown Transcona – that mural is soon to disappear because of building renovations.

May, 2021

 

What shall we say about May ??

Good stuff:

• Buying and planting flowers and veggies
• Picking up Caleb's new wheel-chair van
• Spring flowers and colors make for nice pictures
• Ice cream
• Got to take a look at the boat - first time since last October

Lesser stuff:

• Still wild temperature swings - like as in Summer on Monday, then Winter on Tuesday. Serveral days the new plants and flowers had to be moved back inside, or covered with sheets to prevent frost damage
• Almost no rain to speak off
• Covid infections still running rampant in the province, so restrictions actually increased

I suppose overall more good than bad. And now it's June - let the summer begin.
