01/05: Spring has Sprung

Spring has had a hard time getting going this year but Zaph has declared it officially here.
Second trip to the beach and this time he was able to get wet.
Happiness is.
April has come and gone. We have settled back into life here in Walkerton --- income taxes are done, barbecue and smoker are back on the patio and garage is cleaned (all the stuff from the trailer has found homes even if only temporary). Now it's time to open the hot and start working on the gardens.
Zaph has been to Sauble beach twice since we've been home, Ed and I have only been there once. One day last week I went to a funeral and Ed stayed home sick with a bad cold. The neighbours feeling pity on Zaph took him with them to their cottage in Sauble beach for the day. It was still quite cool so he didn't get to go swimming that day but he had a great time anyway.
Last summer Rob (our neighbour) and Ed rewired a lot of the cottage. One thing that was not completed was removing a breaker in the kitchen that controlled the oven and range top. Yesterday, the old oven, range top and breaker were evicted from the kitchen along with the cupboards they were situated in. New wiring was done and a beautiful, clean stove was put in. What a difference. Some new cupboards need to be built but Ellen is so happy with the new stove that she's willing to be short some cupboard space for a little while.
