Good Morning!

So how you all doing on this fine looking Saturday? Good I hope. For my wife and i we are doing okay these days. We have also been taking the time to enjoy the nice weather that has been upon us for the past week. Pretty well all of our snow has left us and as hard as it to believe the grass is turning green quite rapidly. We have also noticed a lot of our summer song birds have returned. Including the Robbins. The proverb states that if the first Robbin you see at the start of the year is sitting on the ground, the year will be successful. And I found that to be true over the years. As long as there are a few of us old timers around, old beliefs will always exist. Some people, however, believe that a good year will come if the first Robbin you see is sitting up high, but the truth is … that belief has fallen out of favour over time, for a number of reasons that I won’t get into this morning.

On another note, my lovely wife and I have been real busy working outside, cleaning things up around our property for the past few days, and today we will do the same, but not as much, as I kind of think we overdid it yesterday a wee bit. The weather has sure been nice, and no one can complain about that.

So with that I am off for some pancakes with a touch of Maple Syrup and will then …. hmm maybe, I will roll our lawn this morning before the ground gets too hard. It sure helps, especially for walking, not to forget that the rolling pushes all the roots back in place where they should be, which in turn makes for a really nice looking lawn all summer long. And it also makes it nicer to mow.

Have a great day and stay safe. GW
