Not a cloud in the sky…
Today is one of those days where you can look out the window and know for sure that it’s going to be absolutely fantastic. The estimated high is around 70°F(21°C for Bronnie) and with a fantastically clear sky the amount of sun that my garden is getting is wonderful. I went out there and did some watering today, I also hope to get down to the landscapers yard and pick up some huge bags of top soil so I can finish filling things in.
Karen and I were outside on Saturday pulling a lot of weeds and cleaning everything out. I did put a lot of fresh soil down and did some planting with extra Miracle Grow but there are a few spots that could use a bit more dirt, especially around our new fencing. We picked up mini-picket fencing from ACMoore and we’ve lined the garden with it to separate things from the main grass. I’m figuring the landscapers really won’t do much work now but that’s nothing a weed wacker couldn’t fix and since I’ve taught Sean how to use it without constantly snapping the wire we’re good to go!
Sunday was difficult for Karen and I, the constant bending we put into Saturday really threw us for a loop. Neither one of us could really move, our legs were all cramped up and my back was killing me. I’m coming off of a stint where I threw my back out a few weeks ago but I’ll admit that I’m a stubborn human being and pushing myself is the only thing I’ve ever known. We took it easy on Sunday and by Monday I was feeling a little better, I’m not too sure about Karen, I didn’t leave the room much yesterday since I was working all day but I assume she’s feeling a bit better as well.
Today’s goals are pretty simple, finish up on a couple of templates, do my laundry, straighten up and vacuum the bedroom, do the dishes, and straighten up around the living room and kitchen and then kick back and relax. In total it should only take me about an hour to accomplish everything cleaning wise, it’s more important to get my work done first though. Guess my “lunch break” will be pretty productive.
beautiful! you can’t beat a sunny day. it’s blue sky here, but the high is 17*C. chilly!!!
mind you… i don’t mind crisp clear days. as long as it doesn’t rain!!

I absolutly love those days – it really makes you want to get out there and get to work doesn’t it
Atleast someones having some good weather, we are at 3 (thanks for the celcius conversion by the way) and expecting 10-15cms of SNOW tonight.
Grrrreat.
I am loving this New York weather! It’s been on and off rainy, but the temperature is perfect. I wish I had a yard to do some gardening – The best I can do is open the bedroom window for some fresh air, haha.

I love when the weather is perfect. It really makes me want to get out there and soak up the sun. Opening up the windows and letting the breeze flow through the apt is awesome.
i love beautiful weather! it rained a couple of days ago where i’m from.. so that was depressing. but i am pleased to say that it is nice and warm now! 🙂
although yard work can take quite a bit out of you, its also so rewarding to see your little garden grow and become beautiful!
Glad Spring is here!
The weather will be nice and warm now.
(:
Much regards,

The temperature has been wonderful here. I love when its sunny out!
Mother Nature in NY has been bipolar–seriously. Monday it was brick cold–it didn’t even get out of the 50’s, and it was pouring. Then it was in the 70’s and beautiful until today, and it didn’t even get to 60 degrees–and rainy. Now it’s windy as all hell. You can seriously catch something with this weather. I can’t wait till summer. At least Mother Nature can make up her mind.
We are just starting to get similar weather here as well and I am loving it! Got to love spring!
I love those kind of days! I’m watering today. It takes forever. I had to get our yard in order too. Those weeds pop up really fast. Pulling weeds is like yoga. You wake up the next morning with sore muscles that you didn’t even know you had!

The weather here in southern New England is hard pressed to make up its mind: For the last month, every week the conditions alternate: One week it feels like November or January, and the next week it’s like mid-June! Love spring though – that smell in the air is so refreshing! Will take what we can NOW in terms of picture perfect weather because in another month or so we’ll be complaining about the oppressive heat and humidity! LOL

I don’t know about the weather in New York! I’ve heard from my friends that it‚Äôs been on and off rainy, but the temperature is perfect. It really makes you want to get out there and get to work doesn‚Äôt it.
I’m a big fan of spring time. Not too hot. Not too cold. Not to mention the plant life. Brilliant!
Finally, there is some sun to wake us all up. Winter was just too long for me, I slept more then usual. Hm, maybe I am turning into a bear.
Scenery is really beautiful .temperature is looking quite high. As temperature is quite high it is obvious that humidity level will be also high ………….
When I saw your post, I looked outside of my window. Today it is also very sunny. Almost no clouds in the sky. I will go out for a walk on the mont-royal later to relax myself for a while. 🙂
hmmm, you call that “pretty simple goals” are you super girl?!? LOL
I like spring season but sometimes there is no comparison to a sunny day. When the heat is not too much and you just love be under the sky for no reason.
Hello, I look really very often here purely. The articles and comments succeeded very interesting and the Design very much. Thank you makes further in such a way. Greetings from Germany.
It would be truly a wonderful day when one starts of with a beautiful morning and has lots if things to do all day long. One would be fully delighted, energetic to do all those things that are pending and finally be happy when going to bed.
The sky has been really clear here as well. I just love it, cloudy skies unfortunately depress me 🙁
I love great weather — gives me better days. My favorite seasons are late spring and summer, when the weather’s warm and the breeze is soft, and everyone comes out of their shells to bask in the sun’s glory.
