Last evening I noticed George sitting on top of the BBQ, staring intently,(evilly?)
Would you mess with this guy?


Then I saw what he was looking at. Supper!


The weather today.




Hi Frankie.


I gotta go and knead my buns so that they are warm and tender for Shirley tomorrow. See ya at the pot luck!

More strange weather last evening.
Dark clouds.


Heavy rain.


Some sun.




Layered clouds this morning.


I went to town this morning. On the trapper shack road, a big owl flew in front of the truck and landed in a dead tree. But he was gone by the time I dug out the camera. I don't like going to town, I seem to meet the bottom of the gene pool every time I go. Life would be pretty good if someone opened a store in Frasertown. How about it Mayor?

On the bright side, I spent some time with two of my superkids.

Meet Nova, four months old.


And Calliope, four years old.

Boring report again today. Funny weather, dark clouds, bright sun, and short, heavy rains.






Going to town tomorrow and get some groceries and see Rachel, Calliope and see Nova for the first time.

Welcome Frankie Morris.

Last evening I dropped by the Kelly's to check up on the construction. The foundation has been back filled and in filled.


Today was a dark and dreary day so I just caught up on the news papers and did the Sunday crossword. Today is Sunday, isn't it?

Clouds rolled in again last evening, then rolled out.






This morning George went butterfly hunting.


Then he went rabbit hunting.


So what does a guy do after a long hot,(30c), day of defrosting the fridge and tidying up the garage?

Look away Michelle.



I know, I gotta work on the tan.

Yesterday we moved a hot tub and deck from one side of the lake to the other. Like me, this is Glen's best side.


The hot tub is separated from the deck. I'm just thinking how much wine we could make in that sucker!


The wine vat on the trailer. The Mayor of Frasertown, in the green hat, was a big help, as you can tell.


The deck is on a trailer.


I took this shot coming back from the paper boy's.


This bunny was behind the cabin this morning, letting me get pretty close.


But not too close!

Yesterday afternoon I found out that I was out of coffee water, so I went to Frasertown to get some. While I was there I did a Tomiko water taxi job and helped the superintendent with some chores. Then I was invited for supper. Tomiko Tina put on some really good eats! Although I still think that Shirley was hiding in the back room. Speaking of Shirley, I scored some of her brownies. Life just can't get any better!

After supper we sat around the fire and had a couple of pops and enjoyed the sunset.










6.1c this morning bring some fog.





I'm heading off to Frasertown again this morning to help move a wood fired hot tub so Razor's ears can get a break.

After supper last evening, dark clouds moved in.


It rained for about 10 minutes.


Then it turned nice again.


The temp dropped to 7.1c last evening. No wonder Jack Frost went to T.O.




The baby mergansers are sure growing. Momma wasn't around, but she showed up about an hour later.

This morning.


This afternoon.


No Rudy, Jack's not done his gazebo. I think that he has 3 boards done since last year!

Speaking of Jack Frost, he had his wood stove going yesterday morning!

George is doing good, Cathy. He didn't attack Jason at all.

It was supposed to be a cool, damp morning, so I did Molly Maid stuff. Made bread, laundry, vacuumed, etc. This next pic is for Tomiko Tina. She has been nagging me for months about only using the clothes line to put George out. Your welcome Razor, if she's nagging me, your getting a break. God knows you need one. How's that new hot tub coming? Where was I? Oh yeah, so here's the clothes line being used properly. I guess it answers another question too.

Cruising last evening.


This afternoon.


Here you go Rudy, Jack and Linda say "HI". The mosquitoes aren't too bad right now.


Jason left this morning around 8:30. He's probably around Montreal as we speak. When Jay left, Kita took off after him. Jay stopped about a kilometer down the road. Hard run for an old guy first thing in the morning, (me).

Last evening Jason and I went to supervise the Kelly's new shack construction.


This was about half an hour before a thunder storm hit.


We've had this bunny showing up the past couple of evenings. Luckily, for the rabbit, Kita and George have been inside.


A beautiful day today.


Jason and I got an emergency phone call from the Kelly's today. It seems that after we stopped supervising last evening, someone back filled a part of the foundation that shouldn't have been. Of course Dan is gallivanting around British Columbia some where, so Jay and I went over and shoveled it out so the block layers could get back to work.

Jay might be leaving tomorrow morning, although he is liking these northern women. They can split wood, dig foundations, and a couple of them can even cook!

Welcome Frank S., keep in touch.

Welcome Rudy, I was just showing Jason your place this afternoon. I'll take a photo the next time I'm over that way.
