Sublime & Beautiful Sunday - Spring has Sprung on a Weekend


sublimesunday7.jpg

Through the magic of the blockchain, I have the ability to transport you back a couple days for some #weekendexperiences. This time, I may have it right but will leave that up to our friend @galenkp
Sundays are the magical day where I can get caught up on whatever I didn't get enough of during the week. Rest, fun, work, miscellaneous! ere is my #SublimeSunday (inspired by @c0ff33a) and #BeautifulSunday (initiated by @ace108) post to share a day of #weekendexperiences.

This weekend, I am taking the time to look closer at the budding green, having brunch and listening to some vinyl!

Last Weekend

It was only last weekend that there was snow in the air! It didn't settle much on the ground but we surely have seen the last of the snow for a few months now?

If this week's weather, and the date on the calendar are indicators, It looks like it is time for some green explosion and plenty of rain.

Dog Wars

Most of my Sunday posts will include a trip with this guy to his favourite spot. He loves to pause on the way to visit the Canada geese that wander around plenty this time of year. If you look closely, you can see the little yellow goslings between them as they retreat toward the pond. I have to make sure the window is up high enough that he doesn't get any bright ideas of jumping out and getting in a fowl fight.

Sundays seem to be popular in the park when the weather is nice enough. We had a full on 4-dog wars today which leaves them full of drool, mud and tired out come evening.

Around these parts, besides May flowers, April showers also bring May showers. The skies don't look too promising and the forecast has been sprinkled with possibilities of thunder storms. Doesn't phase me as a walk outdoors on the weekend can be almost any weather and still worth it.

The first sprouts being splashes of green if you take the time to look closer.

Many tulips are already open but mine are taking their time. Perhaps open by next Sunday.

Some of the perennials in the garden are getting a head start on the rest, spreading out under the sun as it builds strength.

I really enjoy the little purple flowers that grow on my lawn. This is the first bee I have seen this year enjoying them even more. Probably pisses the neighbour off when my lawn looks like this while his is a grass carpet. He has plenty of flowers in the flower beds but I prefer native blooms to ornamental lawn grass.

These always make me look twice as it is not completely unlike poison ivy at first glance. More likely wild strawberry with that little white flower.

Still woody where it will be green all over in coming weeks.

On my way out of the park, I was trying to snap a picture of a woodpecker but saw this guy flying overhead. I thought it might have been a heron but appears to be either a turkey vulture, large hawk or an eagle. It was carrying a big branch for whatever reason and I apparently caught it just as it dropped it. Almost like it was bombing the barky dogs who think they tough.

The Rest

How about a little pulled pork sandwich and sweet potato fries from a unique local restaurant for a weekend snack? Ya we got that!


IMG_1278.JPG

How about a little vinyl dj music action at one of the local lounges? Oh yah we got that too!

What's the best way to cap off a nice weekend adventure on a Sunday? a thick west coast IPA with a new design you haven't had in a year or 2!

Any weekend adventure memories for you?

Got it right level: Off the scale. ✅

Haha! Took me long enough! After all these years on the blockchain, I have finally posted properly to the community and have followed you.

I might be a slow learner but I get there!

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast, or so they say.

The weather seems so convincing to have a stroll. @zekepickleman

Definitely. It has to be raining hard for me not to get up and out on the weekend. After a long Canadian winter, spring is so welcome.

Happy spring day to you. ☺️ @zekepickleman

Snow in the air... it looks so magical 😍

Not the good kind of magic after we have been cold so many months. Bring on warm spring!

You really had a very enjoyable weekend and all that green and burst of colours should sure lift up anyone's mood. The tulips would be very beautiful when they open their buds.

I will have to make sure I snap some pics when they bloom. They are popping all over town now but mine are a little slow.

I’ve never watched dog wars. I’ve only watched that of cows
I’m sure dog wars will also be interesting
Right?

Dog wars is just my silly name for it. Just a play in the park with other dogs really.
