A GREAT DAY FISHING!!!!

 It was Ricky and I this morning - Rejean and Rick fished last nite and I stayed home and Rejean stayed home this morning.  We went to a stream to fish - my favourite way to fish and we did very well.  Someone had been there before us we could tell because there was a worm container left on one of the rocks but we still caught nice ones in that hole so it wasn't fished out.  The limit is 5 and we both caught our limit.  Rick's creel is on the left and mine is on the right.  Nice fish!!  The bugs weren't that bad and it was a beautiful day.
We eat Brooke Trout tonite!!!  Yum Yum!!

SUNDAYS!!

 It was a work day today.  I scraped and painted the boat, Ricky cleaned his trailer and Rejean cut the grass and weeded.  It was a beautiful day - cool and sunny and hardly any bugs.  We usually have a breeze here so it keeps the bugs at bay.  And the dragonflies are out.  Just when the bugs get so bad you think you can't stand it anymore, the dragons come out.  They are beautiful.  I saved one from the lake this morning - that's the one on the rock.  And the one in the cedar hedge just hung around long enough for me to get a couple of pictures.
And the hummingbirds are still eating!!!  I counted 7 of them this morning.  I have to fill it up again as soon as I am done here.
Fishing tonite and tomorrow - ughhh.  (joking)

HUMMINGBIRDS EAT A LOT!!!

Our hummingbird feeder has been out for about 2 weeks now and I have never filled it back up so many times!!!  I filled it up this morning and again at about 2:30 and now it is about half gone already.  I have seen four feeding at the same time and they hover around and never go too far away from the feeder.  If you have ever sat and watched hummingbirds, you know that they are vicious little creatures - dive bombing each other and chasing each other away from the feeder.  I know I will find one dead one morning having been impaled by those long sharp beaks.  But they are fun to watch and thank goodness it doesn't cost much to feed them - just some water and sugar.

FLOWERS

Thursday was Planter Day at the greenhouse so off I went to get my flowers.  I planted these for Joan in her planters  -  she doesn't like yellow so I got her pink.  the girl at the greenhouse said these will fill in nicely in a few weeks.
I went for my usual geraniums - those I know I can grow...

MOM AND BABY

Finally spotted a baby fox by the dens tonite.  For years these dens have been used by generations of foxes and if you are lucky, you get to see some of the babies.  Tonite was our lucky nite because we saw the mother and a baby.  I have seen 3 babies before but never with the mother.  She was very protective when we stopped the car for the picture - it looked as if she was giving us little barks.  But we snapped these 2 then moved on.  The Mom looks a bit scruffy but it is spring and she is a Mom so she is entitled.

MY OLD SCHOOL

Wish I had known sooner - this is my old public school in Windsor celebrating it's 85th Fun Fair.  A lot of great memories of this event held usually in June close to the end of school.  I remember pony rides and games and baked goods.  We could wander through the school and I remember going with friends instead of our parents.  Back in those days, we walked home by ourselves after events like this.
Nice to see them keeping the old traditions going for the future generations.

9 MONTHS ALREADY

Hard to tell these little guys are twins - lol.  Jodie said they sat like that for 15 minutes watching Baby Einstein at a friend's house - I will have to get some CDs for their visit.
They are happy healthy baby boys who I can't wait to cuddle and kiss and tickle and play with.  Only a few more months...
