Maritime Roadtrip - just chilling in Pakenham

 Thankful not to drive, we are spending a day relaxing at Mark and Emma's. 

Coffee time spent sitting in that sunroom, looking out over their gardens, woods and birdfeeders.


Mark and Em are both working from home so Nic and I took Jasper and Polo for a walk,

up the road

Beaver dam at the first pond.

Wild Columbine beside the road.

Second pond, then up the hill to the hydro line. There and back, about an hour, with some up hill and down (good for the heart)

All the foliage is popping as it is hot, humid

and the blackfly have started.

They have a huge garden and we racked the leaves out of the beds and blew them into the surrounding woods.

Garlic already doing well and

Shitake mushrooms grown from spore infused dowels embedded in the wood.

After the raking, a rest in the shade for some bird photography.

Not always co-operative.
