The lost month?

May seems to have been the lost month! I have a bare minimum amount of pics and most of them are not of Maelie! Maelie, when you get older and you read this blog, please know that you did not disappear from the planet in May! I guess I just forgot how to operate my camera! :)

We went to visit Grand maman for Mother's Day. As always, Maelie had a great time! She is pretty darn good at driving the ATV. I am always scared on it, so I let Grand Maman go !

The chickens are still happy and well. Maelie went to collect the eggs.

I love the hair do!

We also visited Grand papa and Lucie during our time there. Grand papa just got an I pad mini. He was trying to get me to help, but that is like the blind leading the blind. So we put Maelie to work. She got it working! :) Technology is going a little bit fast for us older generations!

A little pic before we leave... :)

Fast forward to the end of May, one day we went out to Lou's for a poutine with Sonia and Naomie. The girls don't see each other as often because they have both been quite busy with their social lives! We are all still happy to see each other though!

On that same day... May 22nd, Maelie was in the pool! It was rather chilly, but she braved it and put me to shame! I don't go in below 84 degrees now, I am such a wimp. Or I am just spoiled with air conditioning. I think it was 65 degrees that first time!!

 

 

Also in the works this month has been my garden! I have no green thumb but I go with the flow, and things DO grow!! :) I started off my peas and beans from scratch indoors in jiffy pots. I also started herbs : basil , cilantro, thyme, dill. All from scratch which always surprises me when it works!!

 

 

 

This year I made it a little bigger. I added those bricks to the ends. I can plant herbs in the holes as well! I don't have much space due to the pool and trampoline, but I work with what I have!

On the creative front, I worked on a bunch of cards this month as well. I made a whole pile of them and took them to work to sell so that I could raise extra funds for the grad! Since our grad budget is pretty low, I had to find a way to make extra! The idea for the top one came from Pinterest.

 

 

I also made this one specifically for a colleague who had a heart attack. I saw a model on Pinterest, and this is my adapted version :)

 



 

 

I made a bunch more, but sometimes I forget to take pictures!

 

So that was it for our month of May. June revolves around graduation!!
