Its Sunday.

Normally a day to hang out as a family.

Today though, the Mr is working. So we took all the grass and stuff from yesterday's lawn adventure out to the farm.

Ran the girls through the mud, oh the mud! Wow.


Then my brother showed up, with one of the dogs! She bowled over the girls as excited to see THEM as they were to see HER! She's a Bernese Mountain dog....the size of a small horse (or thereabouts...). All 4 romped for a couple of hours, then she decided to take a dip in the pond. EW. Wet dog!



But now we're home, all fed (I caved and got them McDonalds) and scrubbed down from a trip to the farm.

We've all got pink cheeks - I remembered the bug spray but not the sunscreen 'doh!!!

I saw so many bikes on the road out through Springbank! I want to be out there with them! ARGH! Maybe one day I can get out and ride. In the meantime I think I'm going to go do some work on my bike - the chain needs to be lubed and there's a funky clunking noise I noticed on my last ride.

Maybe I'll wipe the bugs off my helmet too...

Struck by a Smell

On my run last week I smelled a smell. It was one of those moments that threw me back in time to a visit to the Grandparents house. A happy smell, that made me smile. 

I like smells. 

Smells are memories for me. 

Some memories are happy and some are sad. Some make me remember people, and some events.
