Easter visitors

We've been treated to some lovely weather. It was 22℃ on Friday. A lovely, warm day. The nights are still cold, though.

Our Ottawa kids visited for an Easter sleepover! Grampa brought home tulips for the table.

We baked the pie before they arrived.

Jean-Luc did ham (from our local butcher), broccoli and carrots, as well.

Jordan and Aster were asked to help move the snowblower to the shed. It didn't go well. Gramma had to shove it all the way there. They may be taller than I am, but I've still got the muscles. 💪

After that, we went for a forest walk.

I found 2 and Jordan found 3 Barred Owl pellets. I heard owl calling that morning.

There was Facetime with Jesse and his kids out in Vancouver! Cousin Bryony is 7 next week. We sent a wee parcel. 

Aster chose a movie. It was lovely.

Song of the Sea

We had a few things for them Easter morning. A drawing pad, pencils, Sharpie felt pens, a calendar with kittens and puppies!

A chocolate hamburger to share!

Before they left, Aster wanted to dissect the owl pellets from last week. They have dried out. We found this interesting skull. It might be a shrew skull! 

While Aster dissected, Caitlin and JL went for a walk. They spotted Labbit near the wood pile. I spotted her Monday morning when I put out garbage.

Look what they found! An oil beetle. It spits poison at predators.

The kids are going away for their 20th wedding anniversary later. The other gramma will be there the first week. I will be there the second week. Caitlin showed me their new (used) EV and gave me some pointers.

A great visit!
