Summer 2017





We had many lakeside bonfires this summer and they were all great. Some had guitars and singing, some had meteor showers, some had camp coffee; they all had good company.


 
Some more about July here and here.

Having fun with shapes:




I volunteered at the fair gates one night to help get a donation to the Girl Guides. Kevin watched the tractor pull, Darcy slept over at Nannas's and Cam had some freedom to roam around the fair grounds.


The view from the Boathouse Inn

Mom made this delicious pie when Pat came to visit.


Some of my feathered friends. Hummingbird, Goldfinches, Red-breasted nuthatch, Hairy woodpecker, grosbeak and a chickadee.

Great Blue Heron



I also spent the summer doing three gardening contracts and coaching Darcy's baseball team.



 GEN!!! OMG!!! It had been at least 10 years since we last saw each other in person. It was like time never passed. I don't have a lot of pictures, but I will have wonderful memories. I wish the day could have stretched on much longer, but alas Gen is popular woman and had other visits to make on her short stay in Canada. 


Our daughters hit it off immediately. Darcy still talks about her and has become pen pals with her. Genevieve and her family live in Burkina Faso.



WOW! Those eyes!

Sometimes it looks like a marina here!


We all participated in the regatta.

Kevin and I have been helping his mom redo her patio. She had the backyard sodded and all the patio stones were removed and left in stacks in her driveway.



Of course, we can't work on the patio when it's wet and when we are available to go work on it, it has to be one of the hottest days of the summer.



Almost done.



Kevin saw the Snowbirds fly by when he was working on a rooftop one day.



How many men does it take to beach a boat?
