Monday is an odd day for me. It is my 2nd day of the weekend so my mornings are more relaxed. I oversee the newly minted 14 year olds - pack their lunches, encourage them not to be late all the while keeping my computer open and checking on my favourite blogs and thinking about the day ahead.
We need carrots. And chick peas. There was an apparent shortage this weekend. Really- who bought all the chick peas? Things like that mystify me. You know what else our groceries stores ran out of? Earth friendly bags. Big brown bags to hold garden waste. In my neighbourhood - you put out your garden waste in trash bins and they dump it and return the bin; or you can use large paper bags. We have 6 bins which normally is enough. But, yesterday was a the first real day of spring. Warm and sunny and we had things to do.
The boys finally stripped the house of the Christmas lights. We trimmed all the hedges and I was merciless and cut back all the lavender to the roots. My hands are stiff. My back is tired but you can really see we put some effort into the yard.
I will go to Pilates and stretch and it will be good.
I will shore up the cupboards.
I have church accounting to prepare for the meeting tonight.
I will sit and think about the flowers required for Holy Week. I can't quite believe it is next week. I need purple tulips and red spray roses for Holy Friday. And loads of white flowers for Pascha. This Lent has flown by.

I am jealous of your yardwork! I'm thinking we will start anyway.
come hell or high water, as the saying goes (and house-selling is the fourth ring of hell, I am told:)
lots to do! this Lent has gone by so quickly! Lord have mercy on us!
The yardwork sounds lovely - and I know what you mean by being mystified by the things that are sold out.
And, enjoy the stretching. My back would love to join you.
