A lovely holiday weekend

Monday was a bank holiday weekend as well as providing some of the best weather we have had so far. It was absolutely gorgeous. Saturday I had a massage scheduled while the rest of the family went to the Farmer's Market and after that Mom, Kate and I went to a local garden centre. We were very good and only came home with 1 candle, 3 books and a lovely purple flowering plant which we added to our growing collection of potted plants in the garden. We also moved the two tomato plants and two cucumber plants outside permanently. One of the cucumbers got a bit of a shock but it looks like it will survive the experience. Yesterday we went out to Mom's and picked cowslips for making wine, we also moved some of the blooming tulips and the bay plant home so we could admire them. Mom was also concerned that the bay would needed more water on a regular basis than we could provide at the old place. The tulips are an intense orange colour with pointed leaves and the yummiest scent I have ever smelled on a tulip, it's almost fruity. We also sat in the garden and sewed on our various projects, read books and drank gallons of tea.

Kate has finally taken to the bike that we got her at Yule and is making great progress pedaling and even steering. She and her Papa went walking in Donadee with some friends while Oma and I were picking cowslips. She is still having some problems with constipation but I think we have finally weaned her from the protein kick she was on. She is now 108.5cm tall and continues to delight and amaze us.

Overall it was a great weekend.
