Thanks for the tip for the air fryer. Will look for one or both!

Rainy today so I decided it was oven cleaning day. Racks are soaking in the bathtub. I saw a piece on my newsfeed about air fryers and the top where the element is. Turned mine upside down and oh my! Got rid of some of the gunk but can’t get behind the heating element and onto the fan blades. I can understand now how air fryer fires happen! Now I am wondering if covering the food with a piece of parchment might make sense, as long as the temp is below 450f. Any thoughts? tomatoes for planted anD Costco had my mixed flower pots for my planters in front of the garage so flower planting is done for another year! And the garlic is going gangbusters! Have a good day, everyone

@StLouisCruiserstwo places we enjoyed on our winters in Clearwater moreansrtscenter.org in st Petersburg. Visit them for their chihuly glass display. Sunkengardensfoundation.org lovely gardens in st Pete

@ger_77great news! @dfishi felt that winds from the collective sigh!

@kazuvirtual hugs today as you remember Jose’s passing

Our DD has a labradoodle named Stella. She is 10 years old this year. She will be with us while DD and family are in Scotland in early June. Stella is a sweetheart.

Thank your friend please. My DH is sure it came in a package of mixed flower seeds we sowed. I do like it and hope it seeds itself out some more.

Spring has sprung in Essex county. My trillium and my bleeding hearts in my shade garden seem quite happy today. And if someone recognizes the flower in the last picture, please tell me what it is. I have no idea where it came from. warm and sunny this am but rain predicted for this afternoon. Hopefully no storms. But sadly this is tornado season.

@dfishhappy birthday and safe travels today. had blood work this morning for my annual checkup. My NP requested a mammogram booking for May (yearly) but I can’t get in until October. The breast health centre is so far behind because of the cyber attack this past winter on our local hospitals. They are part of that system. lovely sunshine this morning, temps rising, but rain starting tomorrow and for most of the coming week. At least it will be a warm rain!

@kazua couple of restaurants here in Windsor have starting doing the same thing, not seating a party until everyone is there. There might be more but we don’t go out enough to make a definitive statement.

@RMLincolncondolences on death of your dsil and great news that dh drove some of the trip home

@ger_77happy birthday to Maurice. Here’s hoping that valve replacement ok comes soon. we had a light frost overnight, still -1c, just under freezing. We covered some plants last night. I hope the fruit trees didn’t suffer since many are blooming.

Good afternoon all. Lovely sunshine today and 18c (68f) on my outdoor thermometer. Weather app is calling it 13c or 59f @Cruzin Terrihugs to you for having to make a difficult decision. @rafinmdwell, I am finally going to see Come FRom Away. It returns to Toronto in September for a couple of weeks run at the royal alexandra theatre. I chose an October 2 matinee so I can take an early train up and the last train home. Excited to finally see the play but also looking forward to the train ride! I love trains. The theatre is a 7 minute walk from union station. ah Cole slaw. I bought a new mandolin slicer from cusinart and am finally getting the cabbage sliced thin enough. I use a simple oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, pinch of sugar. We enjoy coleslaw even more now that it is sliced thinly! It got us thru this wild spike in romaine prices over the last couple of weeks. For two weeks Costco didn’t even stock it. It’s back but 7.99 for the six pack, better than $10 for the six pack! I can’t wait until the garden starts producing vegetables. We grow a lot of lettuce. prayers for those that need them and a celebratory shout out to those cruising or otherwise celebrating.

@bennybearhappy 50th anniversary. @JazzyVprayers that your surgery tomorrow is successful in relieving your pain happy birthday to those celebrating and good weather and fair seas for those cruising. we started out cloudy but the sun is coming through now. We had to turn the furnace back on yesterday since it was quite chilly. Will leave it on for a few more days until we warm up more. I hung my laundry out yesterday. Fingers were frozen by the time I was done. It did dry well since we had a breeze. have a good day everyone

Good day to all. Sunny, temps at 12c (57f) but the wind is chilly. We had some rain overnight so I spent some time in the flower beds removing weeds. I have a kneeler with bars on the side, otherwise not sure how I would get up. Our pansies are planted. To paraphrase bob ross, they are such happy little flowers. Leeks are planted in the garden both here and at one of the DD’s. Garlic is looking lovely. We are officially out of garden garlic and I need to pick some up at Costco. It has been Canadian or American garlic so far so we’ll see where there current supply is from. I refuse to buy Chinese garlic. for Sunday dinner at the other DD’s house I will be making leek and potato soup to use up some of our frozen leeks. My DSIL will make fresh bread for us. He has bread baking down to an art. here’s hoping that @kazuhas a good flight to her cruise and that Maurice @ger_77can get a date soon. Nothing more frustrating than waiting. Prayers for all that need them and a shout out to those celebrating. a couple of garden pics to cheer those that are still waiting for spring
