House wren
The house wren is a new bird for me. They have been busy taking ownership of a wee birdhouse.I've been watching them from the kitchen window. So was Hooper! Watching them, I mean. It is a perfect location for the nesting box. We've been here 8 years, and the only other guests were chickadees one year.
Road trip
Anyway, we took off to Carleton Place to pick up supplements for JB on Sunday. I waved in your direction, AC!We rather ambled from Perth to Carleton Place.
There were several three-wheel motorcycles. I guess it's a good option for some.
Lots of old barns.
This poor woman's two little black dogs had fled the yard. I hope she found them. They weren't on the road, which we told her. It's right across from a large forest.
The swamps and marshes are greening up!
OK, this image could spur a story. It sort of looked like a man carrying... a body?!
It was a drive-by photo shoot, and zooming in does not help!
The rivers and creeks continue to be high, but flood waters are receding. I feel badly for those affected.
A veggie garden in the making.
Hooper's street! I just noticed it.
I wonder what they are doing in this spot!
The traffic on a Sunday afternoon on highway #7 was heavy.
This is a walking trail, near to a horse farm. What an idyllic spot. It's an old train track, right beside a river and a riding stable.
Swollen river
The trees are in bloom. What a great spot to sit and watch the world go by.
Lots of homes are needing repairs.
This home is for sale. A great spot to watch the geese. This is Jebbs Creek.
Just about home, JB spotted a turtle. We turned around in our driveway, it was just back up the road. Happily, there are good people in the world. Another couple had done the same thing. He gave me a thumbs up from where he parked across the highway!
Safely home, Hooper had 🕷️TICKS 2019 #3. More on the duckling hatching tomorrow. I'm still processing it.
