The weekend at last

My energy was consumed by a busy work week so inspirations were saved for Friday night. As always, the weekly garden tour with champagne helped to me to relax and renew. As summer draws to a close, the quality of the light is changing as the sun gets lower in the evening. The clouds were spectacular as they moved across the sun. The garden is abundant with the crops of carrots and beets ready to dig. And of course the zucchini is plentiful!

Hot Summer Day

The air is sultry but alive with the sounds of birds and insects singing and buzzing and humming. Each type of flower seems to have its own special bee or fly or caterpillar. Relaxing under the wisteria in the shade watching it happen all around me. 

Moon River Musing

Back into the work week after a weekend  in Muskoka enjoying lots of swimming, good food and lively conversation. The young people full of ideas and thoughts about life and where they are in their journeys were refreshing. The mixture of old and new-the space station sighted overhead while a  freight train sped through the night on the rails nearby. A drone staring silently at us as we relaxed on the deck. A walk through the town learning the history fed by the waters surrounding us. Fresh, gooey Chelsea buns from Don's bakery. Heaven!

Summer Days

Enjoying the summer heat and the gardens are soaking up the showers. The flowers abound and of course the zucchini is rampant! A weekend at the lake with family was full of bonfires, fireworks and lots of food. A visit to the Rockhound Gemboree in Bancroft to stock up on beautiful beads for the year ahead was exciting.
