WHAT I'VE SEEN OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS

Each spring Mr. and Mrs. Duck come for a visit

They check out the bird feeders each day

They are getting comfortable and are even resting on the lawn from time to time

I moved the furniture around

Not Joe's favouritte place for the sofa but it is mine

We take turns ha ha

When we are by ourselves we have the sofa close to the TV

When we know we are having guests for a few days we move things out

Hopefully we can keep it this way for the summer!

GADS

A water skier

Good thing he is wearing a wet suit

Ah.....what a wonderful life I have

Each year Joe goes on the St. Christopher High School canoe trip

This is my time to have friends at the cottage

Carole and her sister Elaine (visiting from England) spent Thursday night at the cottage

They were caught in a rain storm while waiting for the ferry

By the time they arrived at the cottage they were

DRENCHED

and

FROZEN

and

Talking a mile a minute with their beautiful British accent

Had tea and warm chocolate chip cookies waiting for them

The 'Widows' 

The girls arrived at the cottage Friday evening

Just in time for dinner

They were here for the weekend

A fine time was had by all!

Joe is home from the canoe trip

Gwendolyn is happy

She was sticking to him like glue!

Lovely Gwendolyn

Do you think Joe was missed??????

One of our cold days

of which

we

have had many!

And.......

Lots of rain

Interesting skies

Bring interesting photos

Summer must be around the corner

Roar Roar Roar

What's this?

It's Joe!!

He spent the better part of an afternoon under the cottage

fixing a hot water pipe leak

HE DID A GOOD JOB

It was wonderful to have a warm bath once again

Thanks Joe!

Bing just hangin' out

Sun going down on the St. Clair

I heard all sorts of honking

Looked out the window and saw

 a 

LONG ROW OF CANADA GEESE COMING UP THE RIVER

I grabbed my camera and out the front door I went

The geese did not appreciate me!

Joe took this photo .............

I was not home at the time

I think I have him trained to be 'my eyes'

when I am not there!

More storms

Mr. and Mrs. Duck coming in for lunch

Oh Oh

Who do we have here?

I don't think this guy is welcome at the feeder

Actually

He was not welcome anywhere

Land or water

HA HA

Here I am

Come and get me!!!

Satuarday

We stopped by the pond on our way to Chatham

Tuesday

Stopped by the pond once again

Now there are only 3 babies

Do you see the heron in the background?

I spent a few hours at the pond

While there I met a lady who had 

her camera as well

She spends almost every day at the pond

The herons put on quite a show for us

It was amazing to watch them chase each other

I was in my glory

This guy was making all sorts of noise

The little family had moved into an area where there lots of tree branches

SWEET EH

The photographer that I met at the pond took me on a walk

She showed me where the turtles laid their eggs

She told me about the different birds 

It was a fun afternoon

I see such wonderful things through the lens of my camera

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

and

EACH DAY IS A GIFT
