Martha Washingtons

Despite their enormous popularity and reputation for hardiness, I have found these to be a huge disappointment so far this year. Very slow to bloom.

New Growth

The trees in this neighbourhood continue to grow; and, like this pine, they dwarf all the houses.

Blue

Blue asleep in the morning sun.

Flower Box

One of my more successful attempts to date, filled with impatiens and other bits and pieces.

Acorn

My niece's new favourite 'stuffy', wearing the horse blanket I knitted for her last night.

Patterson Gardens

Emma Lake

Borden

Broken Meter

It was the highlight of my day. Nearly two weeks without a parking ticket.

Truck

I wonder if that's what his wife calls him?

Back Home

Blue's back home after her stint at the vet clinic. She's been taking it easy and catching up on some zzzs. So terribly thin though.

Sunshine State

For my Florida peeps

Blue in ICU

Not a great day. She is doing better though, and we hope to have her home tomorrow.

Storm Clouds

It rained a bit, but we didn't get the brutal storm these clouds seemed to predict.

Frost Warning

It seems hard to believe that summer is only a few weeks away.

Tightly Shut

So cold here: the blooms shut as the sun went down.

Lid Macro

Lid from my klean kanteen with tv in background.

Clock Chocolate

Fell in love with the design at the local coffee shop.

Rear Seat

The dogs en route to the lake.

Children's Festival

Festive May-Pole inspired light standards
