Cortland planted

What an amazing day, it started out grey and blah, so we all slept in a bit.  To try and do something today instead of just putter around inside we would head out to Terra and just walk around the garden centre and enjoy all the indoor planters that they have blooming at this time of year.

We decided while we were there that we would, mostly to show bryan growing things, but maybe if we are lucky actually be successful, we would get some seeds and seed trays and grow our veggies from seed.

On a lark we visited the tree's, and I finally found my coveted Cortland apple tree, so one van full of apple tree, soil, seeds, planting tray and misc later we were on our way home (much later then we hoped.)

After feeding and chasing all the kids to bed, I looked out side to start some hole digging for my tree expecting some chilly rain, when I found out that the chill morning had been replaced by the balm practically summer day.  I had my sweater off before I even started digging, and before long I had a big jug of water, and my Tilly to keep me from getting sun stroke.

By the time Bryan was up and ready to help me plant my tree (he was very explicit on the point of tears that he was going to help daddy, (he was also very tired from a late late nap)) I had dug the hole, prepped my tomato bed, prepped my shade bed, erin seeded the grass, got my tree stakes in, reinforced the tree stakes on last years new trees, and generally got my garden in order.

Bryan and I got my cortland planted, with much mud and ado, then set about planting our seeds.  I think I may have accidentally planted lettuce on my cucumbers while I wasn't looking and Bryan's planting style is kind of scatter shot.

This is our first go at plants from seeds, so we will see how it turns out.

Anyways, busy, beautiful sunny day here in Miltonia, parents and kids are now zonked

The Sap Leprechaun

So we went to the sugar bush at Mountsburg this morning, and I planned
to take and forgot to take my camera, so I got one photo before my
phone battery died, of the winter forest fey creature, known to
pilgrims as the drinker of sweet water, the sap leprechaun.

Van-Shman

Insurance is settled, at least for the car, still dealing with injury and incidentals.  Got a good price for the Sonata, so we put a little bit extra into the Caravan.  So now we are getting a Dodge Grand Caravan SE Plus (oooo) with Stow and Go Bench and Captains Chairs.

With RBC settled on the old car we were able to actually finalize the paperwork on the van, so we are picking it up Monday.  Its shiny silver, it was my last choice, but it was what was on hand so we got it.  The trick it seems was the blue tooth.  If we hadn't wanted the built in system they had it in red or blue, but we've had enough hassle with the BlueAnt thing never being charged, or the clip missing... So now we will just have it built in and done with.

So yeah, not excited about a van, just can't get excited about a van, but glad enough to have the cargo space, and it says right in the brochure that it can hold a 4x8, and when I finish the basement I plan to test that.
