A delightful month with a week of +20 to bring out the blossoms and close it out. Lots of garden prep (weeding), branch trimming and setting up the irrigation. Had three burn days to get rid of dried twigs and branches – the rest will be mulched in June. Put away the skis and had our first golf game of the season. Vacant lot next door went up for sale.

Finally found some more stackwall stones to build another set of steps that will go from the upper patio to the drone landing pad – June project. Completed (mostly) a screen and frame for the patio – still needs some touch ups and to close off the triangular space on top of the new screen frame. Completed (mostly) the closet/dresser downstairs – still need to design and make drawer fronts and handles.

We were also busy with getting our charity off the ground. It will provide $ to hard-working high-school students who may not make it to graduation due to financial challenges. Banking, funding, schools, directors and bylaws are lined up and Mizuho made a marvelous website (still in development). The first awards should go out in September. More at OSSS.ca
