this little flower made me think of all those I know who are hanging on by a thread for a variety of reasons… even though it has been cold and snowy it is still blooming…
I was also thinking of a friend’s comment that they couldn’t pull out the plants that were still flowering in their garden, lol…
beauty is all around us, if we just take a moment to look…

the hibiscus made it into the house and was looking great… so far…
still had lots of buds and I was eagerly waiting to see if they would bloom because sometimes the buds fall off after a move…
the above photos were taken on Tuesday and the ones below were taken tonight…
it was so wonderful to have these blooming today as it has been snowing since early this morning, sigh…
guess the timing was good, lol…

≈ Comments Off on zero…
the colours of the trees are so pretty right now…
one of the trees on my street has zero leaves on it now… many of the others are losing their leaves bit by bit…
it amazes me how all of a sudden they are all on the ground…

as the weather is getting cooler (in what seems to be) daily, I’m enjoying some of the great benefits that Indi provides…
instead of turning up the heat, I just turn on the seat warmer… a toasty bottom makes all of me feel warm, lol…
and I love the warmer on my steering wheel… don’t need my little gloves just yet;-)…
although I wish the entire wheel was warmed…
technology;-)…

been rushing out to the garden every time I get home to see if the water lily has bloomed…
it has opened up quite a bit… weather has been cool which doesn’t help… not sure if it is finished or not…
and for whatever reason I haven’t been able to get good pictures… the yellow in the centre always turns fuzzy… weird…

during the night it rained a few times but there was sun and blue sky this morning… along with a fair bit of wind…
the weather report called for rain later, but when we walked to the beach the water was pretty rough…
once everyone was up and had a simple breakfast we headed out for a day of shore fishing… and checking out resort stores…
although it rained off and on all day we had lots of fun…
particularly as I caught a small Jack and then the daddy caught a much bigger one… I focussed on improving my casting…
we found every boat launch on the highway in two directions and checked out a few spots we’d never been to before…
once we got back to the trailer, we napped and watched videos as the rain started to come down in a much more serious manner, lol…
had burgers for supper and then played board games…
now it is time for bed, with the hope that the rain will stop by morning…

had a very relaxing day…
slept in a bit… for me, lol… put out the cushions, watered the garden and had breakfast by the pond…
enjoyed all the flowers on the mandevilla and spent time with my book…
while I was reading, I looked up to see this…
the little bunny that I’ve spotted a number of times, but not been able to get a picture of… today it sat by the chair and enjoyed some greens while I took pictures…
when it got too hot to stay outside I came into the house and watched sports on tv and napped…
so sluggish that I ordered my groceries to be delivered tomorrow… really the height of laziness…

yesterday turned out to be quite a fun day…
instead of laying on my bed and watching tv all day I went out with a few friends…
on our way to St. Norbert Farmers’ Market we stopped at La Belle Baguette for some bread…
I haven’t been to the Market for years… it has certainly grown and improved… there are more makers and the main covered building is wonderful… while we were there it poured for about five minutes, and we were under the canopy the whole time…
after an entertaining time there, we went out for lunch… the sky was a bit foreboding and all of a sudden it poured… for another five minutes… by the time we got to the restaurant it had stopped;-)…
great fun… finished the last bits of that lunch for tonight’s supper…

well, the weather has not been particularly cooperative, sigh…
it was a bit overcast when we first got up but we decided to head out as it wasn’t raining…. kept the cover half on so we’d be ready if the rain came, lol…
saw a loon as we were leaving the bay… caught a few fish… sadly, not me… also saw a three-foot sturgeon swim beside us;-)…
spent about four hours on the water before it started to spit… the scenery is beautiful…
came back to the campsite and had a picnic under the canopy…
then there were naps and more games… supper was tacos in a bag… perfect easy prep on a rainy evening…
back inside for the evening… some are watching a movie on a phone and others playing games…
wishing for sunshine tomorrow;-)…

I cannot believe it…
June 11 and all of the flowers had to be covered because there was a frost warning…
sigh…
good thing there was a bag full of old sheets in the garage… and that I knew exactly where they were, lol…
not sure the temperature fell below zero, but glad I protected them…
spent some time this morning removing the sheets and hanging the baskets back up… they were a little sad to have been covered up, but they were all alive, lol…
