This is a catch up post as I have been pretty busy and although I usually remember to take pictures, getting them on to the computer and then writing on the blog doesn't take first priority.
Chris, Jason and Cigi were here for a few days which of course means lots of baby pictures;
 |
She now gives lots of laughs and giggles
|
 |
Loves a good bubble bath.
|
 |
Found her feet. Hours of fascination with them. (Photo by Chris)
|
 |
Si and Dan came for dinner and to watch the first sailing race of the season
|
 |
Not yet officially sanctioned so we are calling it "non-racing".
|
 |
Cigi dressed for the occasion.
|
 |
Unfortunately when they left, they forgot a bag of dirty diapers. Yuck, stinky and multiple washings!
|
Mean while, on the Western Front:-
 |
| Maya |
 |
and Avery are taking Jujitsu.
|
 |
Nicola and I drove to Pakenham, near Ottawa, to pick up Mum and Dad from their visit with Mark and family. More people, and dogs, than we have dealt with in a long time. (photo on timer on Heather's phone)
|
 |
Chris and Jason happened to be visiting friends in Ottawa so Mum and Dad got to meet Cigi in person for the first time.
|
 |
Cigi got to meet the new standard poodle puppy, Jasper, otherwise known as "the terrorist".
|
After dropping off Mum and Dad in Fort Erie, Nic and I drove to my place and the next day witnessed Fiona and a couple of running mates running a 1500metre time trial......
 |
Their feet aren't even touching the ground.
|
 |
Later that evening Fiona went to her "drive by Graduation". Congratulations!
|
And now for the "other creatures"......
 |
I first saw this fellow, eating a frog, under the cedar hedge.
|
 |
Looking him up, I thought he was a Rat Snake, but was corrected, he's a Common Garter Snake.
|
 |
This little guy will have to watch out
|
 |
he doesn't seem to be afraid of anything.
|
I have been here nearly a year and it is wonderful to see the bank alive with plants that were here when I arrived and some that I've added.
 |
The Hummingbirds and Bees love these, wild Foxglove.
|
 |
The Crown vetch is out
|
 |
in all it's glory,
|
 |
interspersed with Sweet Pea.
