Happy Birthday to my sister, Margaret, also known as the bunny lady.

No, no, no, not THAT kind of bunny lady!

This kind of bunny lady.

She also has goats in her house. Don't ask about the bats.

So, Happy birthday, Sis.

This past week we celebrated Byran's birthday with a Fowler Feast. In attendance were, in no particular order, Bryan, of course, his son Cory, Sir Edwin, Jose, Razor, TT, Grasshopper, me and Jayalakshmi. Sorry, Jose, I never seem to get your face, do I?
 

It's been a busy week. G'hopper and I went to Geri's place on Indian Lake to put in her water and docks.

Indian Lake is high and moved the docks around.

One section was at her neighbor's place.

Beavers chopped down some of her trees.

Way down there.

Right across the water line, breaking it.

But we Frankensteined it and all was OK. 

Dock and swim platform in.

Waiting for breakfast.

Golden Eye.

First yellow flower, and it's not a dandelion!

Snorkeling loon.

Him and her.

Full moon last night. I didn't notice the branches when I took the photo. Enlarge the pic.

Maple buds are almost ready to pop, so black flies are right behind. The first humming birds showed up just before supper. No food out yet, so no pic, yet.

One last funny for Sis.

Happy birthday Big Bryan!

Who has celebrated their 70th birthday?

Popeye,

Raquel,

Superman,

Chucky,

And Bryan, of course.

One of Jose's ravens came by for a snack.

Snow shower last Thursday.

Later a flight of swallows came by to amuse us.

So, Bryan, remember this.

Today's climate change message.

 ACK! My computer ate my homework! I had some Fowler Feast Fotos, some bee-uu-tee-full April snow pics and the first loony pics of the year, but they all got lost in the transfer.


I stole this pic from Jose's FB. Last weekend Squire James returned to The Estate for some home cooking. We had perfectly BBQ'ed steak and light and airy onion rings. L to R Razor, me, Sir Edwin, James, Jordin, TT and Jose behind the camera. Apple pie and ice cream for dessert. Grasshopper was under the weather and so was a no-show. Personally, I would have crawled, dragging my IV bottle and respirator for Jose's onion rings.

 

Not too much snow in the poor old boat this morning.

 

We grow them tough in the "near north". Tim must get a LOL out of that one.

Still not sure what this shrub is called.

 

Ski-Doo trail still open, if yer coming that way.

Loons today, not yesterday.

I don't know about global "warming", but I do get the climate change thing.

This guy, Bruce MacKinnon, of the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, is quickly becoming my fav editorial cartoonist.

Yeah Sis, we like our April showers a little firmer than most.
