Odds and Ends

It was nice on Saturday and Sunday, so Janet started to work in the yard.  It took her several hours, but she managed to get the bulk of the clean up done.  Now, she needs to order top soil and mulch, which sounds like way too many back breaking hours to us.  Jack said his grandson, who goes to UVIC and lives with them, might be cheap to hire.  Bonus - he's young!!

Janet also removed the moss from the back sidewalk.  This took forever as she needs to take all the earthworms from the moss and put them in the garden.  Crazy?  You bet!  Certifiable?  There is a good chance.  One has to wonder how the moss got so thick in the first place.
Once a year, in Oak Bay, you are permitted to haul your garden refuse to the curb and they will come and pick it up.  Janets Thursday volunteer friends tell her they envy the Oak Bay dump as it is so convenient.  It is convenient, but nothing can top street side pick up.  This is a small portion of what Janet has on the street.
Today, that pile at the curb is covered with tarp.  Guess what!  During the night, really high winds started - up to 100KM.  Janet took us down to Willows Beach and at times we were actually pushed by the winds.  Here is Willows Beach which is almost fully covered with logs:
Do you remember we showed you the unlimited Yoga Pass that Janet purchased?  Take a look-
See all the Y's on the calendar?  Those are the days Janet went to Yoga last week, plus she went today as well.  Janet just loves the challenge of purchasing a pass and getting the biggest bang for her (Janet doesn't earn any money, so read Phils') buck!  Personally, if we had so little going on in our lives, we don't think we would post the calendar....perhaps she has an appointment book elsewhere?
