Gardening or Work?

So, this is where it's at...my one flowerbed is full or trying to be full...of dandelions...and while they ARE a flower, NOT in MY garden!!! So, 1 1/2 hours later, I managed to uproot all of them in this section, but there's another 20 feet of flower bed that needs this kind of work. And I'm told that it's gardening not work...but after a total of about 9 hours so far (well, Janine helped two days so I'd have to add her 3 hours - make that 12 hours of digging) I think I'm getting closer to the end. It looks lots better without the yellow blossoms...doesn't it??? And I thought I'd put in some pictures of the flowers that are blooming now, that I enjoy and am keeping in the flower bed. And this is our pear tree blooming...we don't know how it's going to re-act to the frost we had last night and last week...but it does have alot of flowers and they smell pretty good. Hopefully we'll have yummy pears to eat in fall.

Rocky Mountains, here I am!!!

Well, it's bean awhile since I've said anything here...'cause I thought my life was kind of boring to all the rest of you bloggers, but this past weekend, the May long weekend, I went on a working holiday. My sister asked for my help at a Christian Doctors & Dentist conference she was involved in (her job) and I got to go with my oldest daughter; we flew to Calgary and drove to Canmore Thurs. morning, and came home Sunday afternoon. We hiked up one foothill, and I was pooped! We went to the hot springs in Banff, a short ride north of Canmore. We toured the town a bit and the old hotel in Banff. And we did do some work...registration, book sales...and met some really neat Christian professionals. But now it's back to the grind...gotta sharpen that nose...laundry, gardening, sweeping, chauffeuring, cooking, cleaning...but it's good to be home with my family again!
