Guess who's back?

He's baack! But, he's flyin' solo, sans La Dore Reine.
 

And! Our Whiskey Jacks are back!

 And, they are not alone. They have brought 2 immature Jacks, or Jills with them. We'll take some time to name them. They do not resemble mom, or dad, yet.

Guess who else is back, nope not these guys.

Not this cute little guy either.

THESE guys are back, with bibs on! The cursed black fly swarm.

I'll see you in September, when it's safe to outside.

It's been quietly busy here lately, with LOTS of rain.

On Wednesday we saw a moose swimming across the narrows, almost at the widest part. Sorry for the picture quality. We used an Ipod touch camera and the moose was right in the edge of the reflection of the water and we didn't want to stress her out.

Leaving a wake.

Getting out.

Thursday we had freezing rain, sleet and mushy snow. 

I should have put the snowball in the freezer and saved it for when Jose missed the snow.

On Friday I went to Jocko with Aka Smith. Yeah, 'cause we could, Razor. Oh, yeah, we met your new neighbors across the tracks. One of them is the son in law of Mr. Wallace. When we went in the trail we passed two trailers with the tongues torn off. har,har! They burnt down the old house, which I forgot to take a picture of the smouldering ruins. The bad news is that they already met Jamie, so, too late for a good first impression.

The water is still high from all the rain.

All fish put back to catch when they grow bigger.

Dr. Brown, we have differing opinions of this little one.

We have a record number of humming birds this year. They are still camera shy.

 

The continuing sad state of the state.

Another truism.

 Today's funny.

Dear anonymous, Tommy is to Tomiko as Nessie is to Loch Ness and Ogopogo is to Lake Okanagan.

Or?

On Friday we had a birthday dinner for Mrs. Smith. Razor was a bad boy, so he doesn't get a party until hell freezes over, or June, which ever comes first.

Some people will do anything to remain anonymous. 

Meet Jake, Fred and Mary's new dog. He is usually a blur 'cause he's still a pup.

Look familiar, Queenie?

Beer can chicken, baked spuds, stuffed peppers, and Frank's warm buns on the side.

Mrs. AKA Smith, Mr. AKA Smith, Mary, Fred, and Grasshopper.

Grasshopper birthday cake.

 

Did someone say CAKE?? Yeah! I know! They look like people we know! He kinda looks like some guy who used to freeze his sled in the slush, and she has an uncanny resemblance to the Pickerel Queen.

Saturday morning, "picture perfect".

Tomiko Tommy's nest.

You can use the bow of the boat and the buoy to get a perspective of size of the nest. Ya wanna go for a swim???

This bunny eyed the rhubarb, but decided to look for something sweeter.

Today's truism.

OK, another truism.

Today's funny, just for Ron.

The continuing sad state of the state.

Huffty Duffty sat on a wall,
Huffty Duffty had a great fall.

Couldn't put Huffty together again.

Happy 52'nd Birthday, Razor!

And a Happy ?? Birthday, Mrs. Smith!

We just felt an earthquake here at Little Tomiko. Apparently it was a 4.3 centered just west of Ottawa.

Immature Red wing blackbird.

Grasshopper's ice out pool winnings. Woot, woot, Dollarama!

We went to Indian lake yesterday and these geese were on the causeway.

I got pretty close,

 Before they took off.

Pretty calm this morning.

A beaver was leaving a good wake but dove as I clicked.

It popped up a hundred yards later.

Today's funnies.
