It's our oldest son's birthday today. In this picture, taken 47 years ago, he turned 4 and I was 8 months pregnant with son#2. That's daughter Sheila gazing at the cake. I can't remember if she was in kindergarten or grade one.
Today we finally had a day with no rain and youngest son came over to cut down last year's Hellebore foliage. They are showing some nice new growth. While he worked on that I started digging out Chickweed. The ground is so wet that it hardly made sense to be digging it out but if I don't it will bloom and set seed. That's a weed I battle with 10 months of the year.
Another day with no rain tomorrow then back to rain on Friday. We've had 70mm of rain so far this month! Oh well, at least it's not snow.
Thanks for coming by, G.M.
Lovely memories for you! Liz
ReplyDeleteMy hellebores are beginning to flower now. I always look forward to their colours in a drab landscape.
ReplyDeleteS nice that you shared your old photo, so nice to look back on them.
ReplyDeleteI would have turned six the previous November, so that would have put me in grade 1. Also, you do NOT look 8 months pregnant!!

Well, I missed this yesterday...I usually check your blog earlier than now. Happy Belated birthday to your son. Love the picture included.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your son. You certainly don't look 8 months pregnant. Lucky you. I was huge at 8 months! :-). I'm so glad you have help from your boys to do the heavy work for you. We've had lots and lots of rain too, but better rain than snow in my opinion.

We are liking the clear sky days, but unfortunately going outside is not an option for me.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture, old pictures are sweet treasures. Happy Birthday to your son.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful flashback!
