That Time of Year

This is an old picture from 2006 but I am using it today since another load just like this one arrived today. Despite the huge amount of snow that we received this past winter the front lawn is terrible. Not sure why, unless the trees have starved it. Anyway this load will cover the lawn quite nicely and still have lots left over. Jack finally cut the lawns (front & back) on the weekend in between rain showers. It was bitterly cold here for our long weekend. I almost thought it was Thanksgiving LOL Some areas just north of Toronto got snow showers! Didn't surprise me.

I worked all weekend as I did last weekend and will for the next two weekends as the lottery corporation is giving out left over unclaimed money. $20 MILLION, yes million a week. We've had 3 winners so far but last week, no one won, so the jackpot is up to $27 million for this friday. I'm telling you it's a friggin' zoo at work. People line up 30 deep to buy tickets for this. They scrape up dimes, nickles, pennies anything to make up the $2 for a ticket. I am exhausted to say the least after working an 8 hour shift, standing the whole time. There are usually two of us open too and there are 3 booths in the mall that I work at. It's the 2nd or 3rd largest mall in Canada, so you can figure out just how many people come there.

I remember before we moved to Mississauga, when we would come here to visit or for business we would often stop at this mall and I would shop. The first temp agency I ever worked for was located here too. This mall is located slap dab in the centre of Mississauga which is considered our 'downtown' as City Hall is right next door. The nice thing too is that it only takes me 17 minutes to drive to work. That is a miracle in this city!

Well time for a bite to eat then I'm heading out to the garden to start unloading that soil. I'll only do a bit each day so it may take me a month or so. Of course Jack will do some too. When the bag is empty we can return it for $5. and there is no time limit either.

Maybe I can enlist some Doltonites to help me!
