Doubled my work day today - two hours! Raked stones off the grass, swept the stones on the pavement into piles, shovelled some stones into the wagon. Tomorrow I'll clean up the rest of the mess and start to add mulch to the gardens along the driveway.
David is opening the Garden Centre on the 17th. I want things to be neat and tidy by then.
The last half of the month of March and the first few days of April will be a bit chaotic in the Garden Centre. Some Easter Lilies will still be in the way.

Tonight we attended our first normal Optimist meeting in two years! In the interim, a popular and energetic President was taken from us suddenly. Fortunately, Paula DeAngelis, an equally popular and energetic person, has taken over as President. We're in good hands!
Past President John Lawrence is our bartender. He somehow manages to fill the shot glass right to the brim. I asked him how he measures so well.
Our guest speaker told us about Comfort Bears. These are given to children battling terminal illness or trauma.
The Club, and some of us individually, have donated to support the cause. Twenty dollars to www.comfortbears.ca will provide a child with a friend during their time of stress.
But, what I really want to ask you to support is our upcoming Ham Roll, which will be held on Friday, April 8th. Last year the circles were $3 each or 7 for $20. This year it's even better: $3 each or 8 for $20. Actually, 4 for $10 also works.
This year the event won't have to be held over the internet. You can show up live at the hall. Please let me know if you would like to support our efforts.

Speaking of Optimism, we have already booked Florida for next year. We'll be at the Orange Lake, West Village resort from Sunday, January 1 through to Thursday, March 2. Feels good to look that far ahead!

Have a thought for the Ukrainian heroes. Stay well.
