I'm actually not sure, my wife bought it a few years ago... Probably Canadian Tire? We have a tiny yard too, but it helps a lot if you want to do anything with your soil!!

@lovelikewinter3: Where did you find a garden claw? DH wants one, but I'm not sure it's necessary for our postage stamp sized yard. Maybe I should look on kijiji.

Coupon Girl-I must say we are fine sharing a car-mind you truth be known I have it 90% of the time! DH has a short walk to his partime job and I have a 30 minute drive to mine. As well during good weather he likes to do errrands on his bike! Somehow with us both working very partime and having a 16 year old who needs some rides we make it all work without any trouble. Even with one car it spends a lot of time in the garage or going on short errands.

Freezer organization....we have one large chest freezer in the basement for wild game, and fish and large cuts of meat from the store.One smaller one in our attached garage that holds convenience food and frozen vegetables and fruit, smaller packs of meat such as chicken etc.and bread.
Finished house cleaning today and still working on books but getting there. Sunny windy day here so a walk is in order after my doctors appointment. Picked up some bean spouts to make an oriental salad to go with the pork roast tonight.

@lizzie bargain I am sure you can claim the bus fare on your income tax or perhaps your daughters
@coupon girl great news about having an interested buyer, depending what you are asking also may consider calling the scrap yards again depending on what you are asking.

Thank you! I'll have a look there.

@Granger : Wow, a famous DH from every angle. My DH has gotten Christian Bale, and once, Ed Norton (his dentist had recently seen The Hulk).

Happy anniversary and happy birthday!!! We had our anniversary last week but will celebrate this week.

Good Morning! Another sunny day here today! I need to plan some vacation days while the weather is beautiful. I have 16 days left! And that is after booking 3 days at Christmas so I'm off 14 days over the holidays! Will have to figure that out this week. A few days to get the house ready for fall and some fun days too!

Good morning, everyone.

Keeping busy these days. Lots of babysitting duties with neighbour doggy (the brats are not happy with me, the short one is especially jealous ). Off to se Motown tonight, so should be fun.

On the not so fun side of things, I think my fridge is on its last legs - darn thing is making weird grinding sounds and not keeping things as cold as it should. The freezer portion seems ok, thankfully. We'll see if I have to go into debt soon. And I'm still dreading Friday (only good thing is that some folks I like will also be there, so I'll have a buffer between me and the twit).

Better get going and play with the brats - they're feeling horribly neglected these days.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
