HELLO, May

Hello, May. We’re ready for you bringing out the sun just a little earlier every morning and the opportunity to watch the sunrise with a hot cup of coffee in hand from our balcony perch. 

We’re ready for our days to continue to lengthen as we move more fully into this next season. We’re ready for more of these warmer Spring days that Lady April brought us. 

We’re ready to continue being on “nest watch”, as we eagerly await the arrival of a brood of goslings and a brood of cygnets. We check on their downy feathered nests daily as we stroll by the river cheering on our soon to be feathered mamas. 

We’re ready for our anniversary date you’ll bring us this month with the chance to attend a magical event we eagerly await for the arrival of all year. 

We’re ready for the two long weekends we get this month and for Spring Break and the opportunity to get a few projects completed. 

We’re ready for Saturday movie nights, with the projector flickering a favourite movie and a pizza. We’re ready for balcony dates and yacht rock playing through the windows, while we drink in all that you have to offer. 

Welcome, May! We’re ready for you!

Happy Easter Eve

Happy Easter Eve! 🐥

Hurry up and get those eggs dyed 🪺 to be hidden and baskets out to await chocolate and jelly bean and marshmallow peep surprises, because as Clairee Belcher says, “It’s almost time for the Easta’ Bunny. Run on down!”.

HELLO, APRIL

Hello, April. You’ve blown in on a blustery March wind. We’re ready for the Easter Bunny to pay us a visit and hopefully a chocolate surprise or two in our baskets. We’re ready to celebrate the stolen moments in between jobs that are keeping us busy over this Spring Break. 

We’re ready for a few sunny days ahead, where we pick up sandwiches from the deli and set off for a long stroll to find a good picnic spot by the river. 

We’re ready for the days to grow longer and the bulbs to continue to burst forth from the soft earth creating a patchwork of colour against the green spring grass.

We’re ready for pizza date nights and watching old movies through the projector.  We’re ready to linger over a Saturday morning cup of coffee while we watch the birds dance from tree to tree. 

We’re ready to continue blooming along with the flowers and trees and the new shoots coming to fruition as we continue to bloom and grow on our new adventure. 

Welcome, April. We’re ready for all that you will bring!

HELLO, March

Hello, March! I’m not quite sure where you came from? February was a beautiful, crazy, stressful, exhilarating blur of colour. We’re officially at the start of a new adventure and this month, March, we’re going to hope you help us find our groove along this path.

We’re ready to explore more new to us places. We’re ready to keep seeing the golden sunshine bursts of daffodils dotted around, heralding Spring’s upcoming return. We’re ready for long strolls by the river, watching the swans and geese and discovering hidden gems.

We’re ready to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in new surroundings. But, my Nana’s Irish soda bread will still be gracing our table. It wouldn’t feel like St. Patty’s Day if we didn’t have that. We’re ready to keep cleaning and organising, as we work on carving out a space of our own.

We’re ready to continue to embrace the seasons. I don’t think Lady Winter is quite ready to let go. But, March is supposed to be blustery, a month that blows the cobwebs away, so that everything is fresh and ready for Lady Spring’s arrival.

Welcome, March! We’re excited to see what magic you hold for us as we continue to find our groove to the beat of a new tune.

HELLO, April

Hello, April. You bring with you a long awaited Spring school break and the Easter Bunny too. The light and shadows are already changing. They have been as March was drawing to a close and that will continue to progress since we “sprung forward” this past weekend.

We’re ready for for the fuller days of light you will bring as we truly come out from under the cozy blanket of winter. I watch the light dance around the room in new spots where it wasn’t glowing at that time the previous week. We’re ready for the Japanese magnolias to begin to fully blossom and unfurl their pink blooms. A favourite street of mine is lined with them and they are a glorious sea of pink. We’re ready to dye our Easter Eggs and for the Easter Bunny to fill our basket with chocolate goodies and maybe a surprise or two. 

We’re ready to do more “Spring Cleaning” and tick a few jobs off our organisation list. Slowly and surely we’ve been making our way around the house, deep cleaning and organising and it brings me such utter satisfaction and joy to see a space made anew and refreshed. 

We’re ready for longer strolls where it’s spring in the sun but still winter under the shade. We’re ready to watch the tadpoles grow at one of our favourite ponds. Last week, a number of them had already hatched. We’re ready to drink in all that you have to offer. We’re ready for you, April with arms open wide.
