“The RoseBouquet”

My garden plot was all sown up by Friday afternoon. I still want to dig up some flower beds and extend them, and sow something in the old fridge that I’ve turned into a container garden. Yesterday I started cleaning the fence in preparation for painting it. Working at home has it’s advantage, as I can dash out for half an hour’s yard work after lunch and supper, and on a small place like mine, these work spells do get things moving forward.

I even had a wee yard sale on Saturday, hoping to clear up some stuff I’d brought out of the basement. I only sold $3.75 worth, and still had to carry most of it back inside the porch. However, a young woman from up the street stopped by on her bike to chat, and we were both thrilled to find the other was a Christian. Bev went home to get her husband, and we visited for, oh, it must have been well over an hour. They have been praying for more Christians on this block, and I was happy to inform them that the couple living beside me are also good Christian friends of mine.

The neighours on the east side are having a double car garage built so Snowflake and I have been spending time watching them.

–Whew! That was fast. I was expecting two contractors this morning to give me quotes on the plumbing projects. They arrived at 9:30 on the dot, and were both done in 15 minutes! The one just took photos and measured square footage with a laser gizmo.

I’m praying that one more of the eight eavestroughers I have called will also show up soon, and then I will have all the quotes I need to send this bundle to the inspector. Hopefully then it will only take him a week or two to decide which ones I should hire for the work to be done. Then it can begin!
