A Bit of a Pickle....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Today was my random day off during the week.  I let my son sleep in today as not that many more sleep in days before school starts.

After lunch we went down to see the Accidental Beach.  This is a beach that has developed as a result of construction for a bridge across the river.  It is beautiful!!!!  The sand is amazing and the rocks that are along the edge of the sand are perfectly smooth and shiny!  I had to pick up a few just to feel.

Arriving home there were still some carrots not use from the 20 lb bag I had purchased the weekend prior so we made carrot pickles.  I used my new blue jars and now it looks like I have greenish carrot pickles 🤣

Oh well, I am sure they will taste fine.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

I'm Going to Regret this tomorrow.....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

My son and I had a (?)leisurely day at home.  After a morning of breakfast, cartoons, and then lunch we decided it was finally warm enough to go for a bike ride.

First I had to figure out how to fill the tire, which I did!!!!  Yay me!

After a few blocks around the neighborhood my son seemed to be riding well enough so we headed out to the trails in Capilano Park:

 Crossing the North Saskatchewan River.  Still lots of ice blocks along the edges.

 Through the trees look at the North Saskatchewan River.

Yet another hill to climb!

It was quite a trek, but even I was shocked to find out when we got home according the map app that we had travelled 16 kilometers (10 miles ).  I know that I am going to be very sore tomorrow as my legs already hurt walking the stairs..... ♫ ♫

Then it was time for dinner and I decided to cook the carrot that I found at Save-On Foods (trust me the name is not very accurate):

That carrot is positioned next to my Henckel's Chef's Knife!  The cost of this carrot was $0.82.  I might have to get another one this week, although there are left overs from tonight's dinner ☺

After dinner I did manage to get the side sewn onto my April 2014 Block of the Month:

Feeling rather accomplished at this moment, and debating if I should start eating pain medication now....

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
