We had a sleepover!

 Our kids are in our bubble. We have had the grandies for 18 weeks since mid-March. The kids are working from home, and the grandies are homeschooling. Despite cases rising in Ontario: Ottawa, GTA and Windsor, we are hopeful all will be well with us. 

The kids arrived and we hung out. Uncle Jesse phoned and asked if we could do a Facetime. Bryony is adorable!

They went for forest walkies. Momma took these on her phone. Jos took them down to where the BIG puffballs were growing. There was another! I did not know. On the left the old one, on the right, the new one. They are amazing.


You can see two in the back. They were softball sized a couple weeks ago.




Apioperdon pyriforme commonly known as the pear-shaped puffball or stump puffball, is a saprobic fungus present throughout much of the world. Emerging in autumn, this puffball is common and abundant on decaying logs of both deciduous and coniferous wood. Wikipedia

Caitlin did a video!

Fungus everywhere, even on the climbing tree.


They found the trailcam and did a selfie!




Nice forest walkies!


Caitlin BBQ'd burgers.



I asked Izzy to create one of her famous veggies trays! She even took her own photos. She spiralized the carrots.


You'll note that the fish tank is now full of water. Warming up for the fishies. It's time, Yam! I tried to get the pump going, Caitlin was starting to help, sa you have to prime it, but I hustled them off home. I fooled around with it later and realized I'd switched hoses. The intake pipe was on the outflow hose, etc.

Grampa had taped this, so we watched it Sunday morning! 

BTW

An historian used my trek photos... Settler's Trek 2016 in Lanark County, Ontario, for a presentation he did. Rather fun!

So lucky your bubble includes family...lucky girls to have that nature walk right there in their safe space! (Lucky to have such a nice big space too! My great-grands love their grandparents farm (the farm is our daughters and SILS, not ours ... we are the redundant generation)). Congrats on your trek pictures being used that way.
