⛅Spring Break at Gramma Camp – week 27 ☔

Wednesday morning, I heard giggles coming from the basement. They were telling each other their dreams. Josephine's involved kittens. Isabelle's involved her sister, as a snake. Here is another one!

It's a strange month. Two stat holidays (green) and this week's Spring Break. The 23rd is a PD day. 

We spent a frantic time looking for BB. She has had BB since she was a baby! She was sitting in the arm chair. Looking for a photo I found this blog post:

Isabelle and Grampa were going shopping. Izzy put Beebee (her sleep toy) in the chair. I asked, "Will Beebee watch TV while you are gone?"
    "Yes, she has special eyes that can see the TV even when it isn't on!"

The tooth fairy visited overnight. Her BB (apparently the tooth fairy spelled it wrong), is her sleep snuggle.  

Jos did some painting. These are little kits, on sale at Michael's.

Apparently, Josephine painted her hands. I sent Isabelle to take a photo. She was too late!

They fetched the trailcam cards for me. grandies

  

Thursday – Yucky day for weather

We had 13 mm rain Thursday.

Cold, rainy, 

Breakfast was al fresco!

I FOUND THE BOLTS FOR THE SWING! Now I can attach the awning.

In the morning we took it easy. They watched some YouTube videos. Then lunch. All week they've been having leftovers for lunch (pot pie, baked beans), but now we're back to chicken soup.

Then a nice read. Three p.m. is video time.

We'd not gotten much done, definitely not 'quick and sprightly' to quote Izzy. It's just miserable outdoors. I asked if Izzy was drinking her water, she said she'd forgotten to put lemon in it. She doesn't like our well water!  I offered to spit in her water bottle for her. "GRAMMA!"

I've a list of spring chores to do - the reverse of Fall chores, that they might help me with. We managed some of them.

• set up bench swing with cushions,  ✅
• find the bolts for the bench swing canopy,   ✅
• install the window blind in the guest room/Izzy's office,   ✅
• take down the Christmas lights,  ✅
• take down the front yard Christmas tree   ✅
• open up the water fountain,   ✅
• recharge the tractor battery, (it works, BTW!) ✅
• put the fish into the goldfish pond,
• clean the fish tank,
• install the new dryer vent, (partly done)
• make birthday cards for cousin Bryony in Vancouver, NOPE
• tear down the picket fence around the old veggie garden.

They're back home for the week this afternoon. The provincial government is coming up with some new laws to keep people home. People are still engaging in super spreader events: parties, and such. It's been a long haul. Hopefully we get our injections Saturday.
