May Flowers

 

April has been a busy month

• I stacked 1.5 cords of wood
• We planted 20 new cedar trees, 2 spruce trees, a cherry tree, a weeping willow and lots of flowers.
• We started purging some of the stuff from the basement that we no longer need to save including selling our old wicker blinds and my old speed bike.  Much of the stuff that we were saving for the kids are things they don't really want or need.
• Cheryl and I attended the ECMA songwriting circle which was absolutely fantastic.  It inspired me to dig deeper into my writing.  It is so great to hear the backstories of songs from the artists themselves and to hear about the songwriting process.  
• The hot tub is set up and working great.  I forgot how relaxing and calming it can be when I get stressed.  
• Cheryl and I biked to Robinson's Island and I have been biking whenever I can.  The weather has been wet and cool, but I have managed to bike to work 3 times already this season.  
• I had a great visit Dad as he came down to visit.  We played guitar and went for a great walk along the rails to trails.  
• Chris is coming from May 16-21 and is staying at our place.  It will be great to catch up.  We are hoping to get out on Andre's boat for a day of lobster fishing, weather pending.
• I have been trying to play guitar at least an hour a day and I can feel myself improving.  My pacing and timing is improving and my voice is more consistent when I sing regularly.

Looking forward to a good summer as we plan to go to Fundy to hike in preparation for our Gros Morne trip in August.  I am hoping to bike and hike and walk beaches this summer.
