We had visitors!

Eastern Ribbon Snake from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.
Dorah brought me an Eastern Ribbon Snake. I picked it up and took it inside. Jos was eager to hold the snake. The kids were visiting and Jos held it for awhile. What a great experience!

Flora and fauna of spring

Things are greening up. Despite a bit of ice on the lake this morning, it has since moved off. With few bugs on the water, no fish jump: like glass with no wind.

The seagulls soar by with the sun shining through their wings.

The buds are beautiful.



Skies are such a wonderful blue!
 The cats are thrilled to bits with open pavers, on which to roll and scratch their backs.


But it is the flowers that foreshadow growth and colours to come, that mean the most to me!

I love my lawn ornaments, usually buying one per season, they follow me from property to property. This is JOS. Our Thyme of the Season girl.

Lots going on in My World Tuesday, with raccoons digging up the flower beds in dusk and dark, looking for grubs. The clover is coming back, greening up nicely, soon it will be fodder for ducklings and goslings.

Muskoka Lakes Art Tour

I had so much fun!

With great delight, I present the photos from the Muskoka Lakes Art Tour. All have delightful studios, well dressed, as only an artist can manage. What an honour to visit our local artisans as they present their intellectual property. Many have spouses who either assist, or are partners in their endeavours. They incorporate flora and fauna, in interesting architectural designs.

This little girl with the net reminded me of our granddaughter. I do so adore them (the sculpture and our girl, Josephine)!

The music on my video is by Bev Foster and co., and highlights the beauty of our world. Her Room 217 foundation is an up and coming place for those who work in hospice care.
Enjoy!
