First blooms of the season. It always feels promising when the flowers start to bud and open. It is a sign that summer is really coming. 


The poppies are always first, followed by my beautiful Jack Frost. Then soon after, along come my Irises. 




So now, all that being said, we've been quite busy this spring. We are members of the Royal Canadian Legion Greenwood branch #155 and have been for a few years now. My dad would be proud...ha ha. He tried to get me to join for years when he was the Grand Puba at the Grimshaw Legion many years ago. I always told him that the Legion was for old people. Well guess what....I'm there. How did that happen?


Anyway we have become involved a little bit. I am on the Executive, Michel is tending the bar one day a week, and we will help out at the Meat Draw, when that starts up again of course. We've made a few new friends, though we haven't associated much because of Covid, but with the restrictions lifting a little bit we can actually have outside visits. Looking forward to it. 


We have our appointment for the second dose of the Covid 19 vaccine on June 21st, and so do most others in this community. It feels good to be able to wander around a little more. Less stressful for many.

Things are beginning to get back to normal. Indoor seating at restaurants now with social distancing; Seniors Wednesday afternoon Bingo has opened with limited seating; and the Friday night Bingo will likely get going again in July. 


All is good, thanks for reading.

April 25th weekend and I commited myself to a Craft Show here in Greenwood.  

There were only 7 vendors and probably less lookie loos. Can't blame anyone for not coming out on this cold, windy day. 

But we hung out there for 4 hours anyway.  Never sold anything, but I don`t think anyone else did either. 

The second Craft Show was Sunday of the May long weekend. The weather cooperated this time and there were more vendors and many more lookie loos. I managed to sell 2 paintings and 2 statues.  No pictures this time. Next one up June 27th. Can't say that I will do this every month, but for now I don't have much else to do. 


I made myself a little gnome to put in my garden and I'm thinking of adding a few of them to my lineup of dollies....... What do you think?


That's it for now. Thanks for reading.
