MAY 24TH LONG WEEKEND

Celebrating And Honouring
 Queen Victoria's Birthday

Up goes the

CANADIAN FLAG

They say every cloud has a silver lining

How bout this cloud with a pink lining!!!!!

(This was actually the sky on Thursday evening

but I just had to put it in)

As we were driving out towards Lake Huron

this cloud 'formation' caught my eye

Looking down the beach

Great way to spend an evening

Sitting on the beach with friends

and a fire to keep us warm

......the best way to end the day

Over to the mainland I went to purchase

flowers for the

 window boxes

and

clay pots

The 'captain' of the boat picked me up

and we filled the boat with beautiful flowers

and bags of dirt

Came into the cottage and found 'Master Bing'

enjoying his afternoon nap

May 24th weekend is flower planting time

I guess I would say

this is a tradition

This is exciting

I am in my glory

It was quiet on the river then all of a sudden

we heard this

 LOUD NOISE

What the heck was coming our way????

Ah.............the hammock

This is the life

Sunday morning nap time on Margaret's bed

Note Bing's leg!!!!

Sunday morning fog on the river

One freighter went by

I could hear the engines

I saw the water go out and come back in

I could not see the freighter

It was an eerie feeling

Finally the fog started to lift

I could barely see the pilot house of this freighter

What is she looking at?

We all didn't have a clue what this tug had on it's barge

Did I get the look or what

Check out those

 BLUE EYES

This is Lola

The carpenter is making a scratching post

Oh no, not you again

Can't you see I am trying to catch a few winks

Clemintine

Quite the pose!!!!!!

An after dinner romp on the beach

Catch me, catch me

Clemintine took a nose dive........

Head first right into the river

Look at that river

Boy, oh boy

We've had the best time today

Quote

Dogs dogs dogs...... WOW

Evening is drawing near

What a great day

THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER THING OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS

I have posted a few photos of 'thousand footers' on my blog

This freighter was going particularily slow

It must be heading to the

Shell dock for fuel

It is amazing how the freighter can pull
the water out from shore

We would take advantage of the suction

and go out and check for pieces of glass

in the sand

Now-a-days one can find few pieces

as most bottles have been exchanged

for cans

Wednesday was a beautiful, sunny, warm day

First time out to work in the gardens

This is an interesting ship

don't believe we have seen it on the water before

Bing is at the screen door

Sorry, you canot come out!

Gwendolyn and Bing chose their place to sleep

The camera lady thought it would be a good idea to 'set'

Bing closer to Gwendolyn

........like near her tummy

(great photo I thought)

Wrong..........

Grrrrrrrrrrrr

So........I gently put Bing back down where she had been

and

they both went back to sleep

as if nothing had changed

I happened to look out at the river and saw this

magnificent sail boat going down river

Gee, it's a good thing my camera is always ready to go!!!!!

Breakfast this morning

Bing is getting a little close

He even managed to get a quick taste

On our way to the mainland this morning

we spotted 5 white swans

Here is Bing curled up on the van floor

........same spot where Elliot would sleep

We took Bing with us this morning as we

thought we should start taking him in

the boat

and

the van

"Getting him ready for the big fall trip"

Bing was very vocal in the beginning

but as you can see

he settled down

Back home safe and sound with his favourite blanket

Photos of photos

I just framed two

photos of Elliot

one of which will hang on a wall with 

WeiQuay

WeiQuay

This photo hung in our bathroom at 239 N College Ave.

Elliot

Blue eyes

I will leave the caption up to you

I did not set this up!!!!!!!

The carpenter is hard at work once again

He is building our king size bed in

with 3 drawers underneath the bed

Even though St. Francis has been glued back together

many times He is doing a good job of watching

over the birds

It's nice to see my garden 'opening up'

JUST A FEW THINGS.............

Do you remember this photo from a previous blog?

Sunday, May 16th

BIG DAY

THE TRIATHLON

HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS OF TRAINING

Lyndsay came in third in her division

CONGRATULATIONS LYNDSAY

Well done girl!!!!!!!

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF BING

This morning

Susie and Bing sitting in my Mom's chair

Oh, I'm soooo sleepy

I have to put my head down!

Susie is out of here

I can only do this for so long!

ON TO THIS AFTERNOON

Sweet little fellow

I looked at the photo and thought

Now

Isn't this a lovely picture

Susie, Bing and my Mother's Day flowers

Once again

LIFE IS GOOD
