We've been on the island for 36 days
It has been warm
It has been cold
It has been rainy
It has been sunny
Our next door neighbour Ray
graciously offered his boat for us to use while waiting for a motor for our boat
One two three
PUSH
Another neighbour Bruce
took off his shoes and socks to help get the boat out into the river
BRRRRRRR
Under the dock and over to Ray's cottage
As you can see we've had lots of rain
Nice to see the swans on the river
Riding the waves
Getting ready to walk over to the main dock
Winter coat under all that rain gear!
Check out the boots!
No leaves on the trees yet
There goes the Roger Blough
We have a Momma to watch
Early morning.....the river is as smooth as glass
Wonder if the motor is working?
Maybe he is just getting his exercise????
Checkin' in
Oh......so sweet
The Red-Winged Blackbirds have arrived
A sure sign of spring
Evening is upon us here on the island
A little activitiy on the river
Some sort of 'tiny' cruise ship!!!!!!!!!!
Ha Ha
I can see a little bit of green on the tree
Here comes Roger again
He has been up and down the river a lot
A real treat for us
(It doesn't take much to entertain us)
The babies are really growing
Lots of snakes around
Out came the hedge clippers
to cut down the Phragmites
Joe rebuilt a Martin House that his Father had built for us many, many years ago
I think Momma is getting used to me coming by every day
Walking the path
Gwendolyn getting some exercise!!
Way down there is a Forsythia bush
There 'she' is.....beautiful as ever
They are just about ready to leave the nest!
Bing has been kept indoors to make sure the babies are safe
I surprised these little guys one morning
The next day the nest was empty
If you look hard enough you will see our 'new' motor on the boat
Remember??????
The motor was stolen a week before we left the island last fall
Mother's Day
New police boat that is patrolling the river
Coast guard and RCMP
Have Americans and Canadians on board so they can go anywhere on the river
Learning all about fishing from Grandpa
Best buds
Lots of action on the island
Lots of Canadians celebrating the long weekend
Lots of dogs too!!!!
Gwendolyn had soooo much fun with Farrah and Max
She was a zombie today!!!!!!!
Today Curt helped his Dad get the Martin House up
Wonder when the birds will start making nests?
Took my camera with me today when I walked the island
Here is a piece of driftwood hanging in some vines
This cottage is tucked back in by the canals
The children are on the island!
Once upon a time........
Children's playhouse
It is amazing where dandelions can end up!
Now I am caught up
Will see what I come up with next for a blog
