been a quiet Canada Day for me… 

spent the day in the garden and did some final planting, a tiny bit of weeding and lots of reading and relaxing…

watched at least three squirrels at the feeders… they were the only wildlife in the garden for a good portion of the day… quite entertaining as they fought over who would be at the feeder… one was literally tossed off by another…

the hibiscus has a ton of buds and this lovely bloom early in the day…

sitting in the shade reading and enjoying the peaceful sound of the waterfall…

then I spotted this little beauty as it came in for a drink…

the next thing I knew the couple were at the feeder…

a bit later a chickadee stopped by for a snack too, and as I was cooking my dinner they were all taking turns, although they weren’t pleased that I kept going into the garage…

decided to barbecue my dinner… went well, other than the fact I over cooked the steak, lol… tasted good anyway…

the burners are rusted through so I may need to watch for a small barbecue on sale to replace this one…

off and on throughout the day the music from the celebrations at the Park have wafted over…

well, back to my book…
