Gramma Camp – Week 37

 Tuesday

My trumpet flower is in bloom again!

I brought Josee a friend in the living room. Tucked in my hand, I asked her to hold out her hers and handed it over. Her eyes lit up as it jump in her palm. A wood frog! She set it free!

Little cutworms on my fuschia. I dropped the leaf into the goldfish pond. Me bad.

Isabelle began her day by painting in the Muskoka Room.

AFter lunch, we moved some wood. This was a breakthrough. Isabelle was a bit leery, but we talked her through it. Josephine learned how to run it two years ago, as I recall.

They took turns using the tractor, bringing the wood from the shed quite efficiently. 

It began to rain, and so I called off the troops. Izzy tried to run and tell Jos to park in the shed, but she turned it off. Not only were we out of gas, but battery power. I usually keep it running while we load/unload, but I was afraid of running out of gas. So we drained the battery. I'll have to plug it in.

My happy anniversary trailcam is working well! I set it up on the lower deck, trying to capture Fred groundhog. It captured us!

Another wood frog. That is two today! We rested as our work was done.

Water lilies were submerged after all the rain from the rain barrel. They are a bit muddy!

These photo captures of Fred are from 5:30 p.m. after our work was done. Apparently he's taken up residence under the deck. Watch him come and go! 

It poses a dilemma, which the girls and I worked out. When it's time to drain the pool, it usually drains under the deck. Poor Fred! I'll use a hose and drain it farther out, into the ditch. Nothing is easy!

Also, last night, a rabbit! 

Beans and sausages, with snap peas, and buns for dinner. A new online movie, The Burning Sea. Jos reminded us of bedtime, and we shut her down at 8:30. Cinnamon helped me tuck them in. Life is good!
