Taking It All Day By Day

Hello.

Papa and I have been doing ok with these crazy times of the Covid-19  and all  thankfully all our family and friends are well  . Papa was off work for two weeks because of the restrictions of essential jobs but then was called back as they need him to ship some essential building materials so that's good for us  but whats been hard for us is each day with out our Miggs , it just hasn't been the same  at all, I find myself tearing up from time to time still especially when somethings I am doing and I look about for her as I always have done ,  and when Papa comes home from work she isn't there to greet him home with a tail wag and I find it very quiet and lonely about the house with out her here and all the little things we all did together  I go on our route for my walk that we used to take in honer of our precise girl and I can feel her presence with  and yes I talk to her to like I did when she was there in body and mind but now she is with me in spirit , we miss her dearly  ❤️.

I have been doing some garden clean up and take the odd photo here and there . Parts of our Provence have a provincial  no burn ban in the Fire Zone areas due to the Covid-19 to make sure firefighters are in areas where they are needed most during this pandemic and not all municipalities do  have a burn ban like ours ,most of the burn ban is in the north in cottage country, Southwestern Ontario does not have a burn ban and our municipality website has not posted any burn ban , so I had a campfire with all the garden clippings and clean up .

 It has been wonderful to get outside again in the yard with the warm sunshine  and get going with the gardens just seems each spring I find muscles I forgot I had when it comes to gardens and yard work lol !

 Our tree swallows , purple martins and Barn swallows have all returned and early this this year .

 My little woodpecker on our big old tree by our feeders seems to keep the birds occupied as they check it out every day to see if he is real lol  my mom in law brought it back from Florida for me .

 Our first Garter snake of the season decided to pay us a visit and take a few moments to warm himself in the sunshine .

             All of our spring flowers are in full force now and all look so pretty .

 I have my Humming bird and Oriole feeders up waiting their return which should be any day now .

The sun is shining and the temps are rising day by day and the times are getting a bit easier to cope with as the new norm hopefully not permanent we learn to deal with and take each  moment to enjoy more so then before . I am thankful for all things even more so now and am thankful for modern technology as we can still keep in contact with family and friends in many different ways and I hope this pandemic will be over soon and all can get back to the way it was before .

                                            Until next time  , Stay safe all  .
