14/03: Starting to Feel Like Spring

at least every now and then. We've actually had a few nice days where the temperature has reached a few degrees above freezing and the snow is starting to melt. Winter isn't ready to totally give up, as we've also had a few really cold days with snow and winds.
Ed and I are trying out a relatively new sport --- Pickleball. This game was invented for "seniors", though all ages play it. It's based on tennis, can be played indoors, uses a paddle and a plastic ball with holes in it and it's a lot of fun.
Ed has also been busy in the workshop.
Our neighbours have a cottage and last summer they decided it was time to make some changes to the kitchen. The old stove top and built in oven were pulled out and a new stove put it. Then there was lots of discussion about new cupboards. Ed volunteered to make three new cupboards for them. This is the cupboard that will go beside the stove. It has two pots and pans drawers and one cutlery drawer. The cupboard still needs to be finished but as Rob is a wiz at finishing furniture that's his job.
We haven't ventured far from home but did manage to take a trip down to Kitchener. Jack and Lori invited us down for lunch. Jack also told me a story about Lori coming home from the store with a raspberry pie because she was thinking about my raspberry pies. I woke early and decided I had time to make a raspberry pie, so I did.
As it was ten days before my birthday I wasn't expecting a birthday celebration, so I was surprised when Jack and Lori had birthday cake for me. We ate the cake and the pie!
