Birthday Girl

Special occasions call for special foot ware.  Amy might recognize these.

We try to do something out of the ordinary on special occasions, so today being Yvonne's birthday and I'm doing the cooking, it's lobster tails for two.

Happy Birthday Yvonne.

Pesky tree, no more

In the past I've had issues with this particular tree. Every year it blooms and spreads seed pods and clumps of cotton-like fluff all over the yard. It looks like snow and I hate snow. This year I've decided to do sometime about it.

Strategic rigging so it doesn't hook the corner of the house on the way down.

It's a good day!

Lake Activity

How time flies!

We've been home for 6 weeks now and this place has literally consumed us. We've been busy with yard work, garden planting, garage sales (both ours and others) visiting with neighbours and just relaxing.

Blue-Winged Teal couple

Common Merganser males cruising by. They hunt together and are fast both on the surface and underwater.

These Butterfies were gathered on the beach. A Robin ran past them, gathering insects for it's young, and seemed totally uninterested.

One of my goals this summer is to make some decent sourdough bread.

A couple tiny Wrens have moved into this little birdhouse near the garden. There is another similar birdhouse nearby and it has been stuffed full of twigs by these wrens to discourage other birds from moving in.
