Gardening season approaches!

Caitlin gifted me with a hanging planter for Mother's Day. It's been chilly, so I bring it in at night. 

 Our May long weekend is traditionally the weekend we in southern Ontario plant. Joe and I decided to get started, to beat the rush, and went off to the nursery.

It was lovely and moist inside, a cool 10 ℃ outside. I wore my lovely second hand, thrifted coat. I had compliments at the nursery! Isn't that fun?!

A joy to behold!

All these hobby farms, people are planting. 

I tucked it in the garage until we warm up a bit. Basil, marigold, petunias, some veggies the critters will eat!  A hanging basket of cherry tomatoes, as that's about the only safe thing I can grow. Those critters love the bounty!

This is a Hollyhock. I am hoping Fred won't get this one. She piled dirt up on my last one and it didn't recover. The fuscia the hummingbirds like. 

Around Dalhousie Lake

After Dalhousie Lake for lunch last Thursday, we took off. Back on Dalhousie Road, the sign said: Teddy Bear Picnic; Rescues Welcome.
I found it a bit creepy!

I'm not sure about this one.

Lovely view, lots of cottages along the north shore.


"The Squeezemore Inn"

Soon, the leaves will be gone.


We drove around the lake. This is a drive-by shooting through JB's window. Followed by the inevitable post-in-the-middle shots. There is an art to it!


Cutting wood for winter!

Back in Perth

This driver was a hoot. We'd got in line at the stop light, to pull up to hang a left  into town, onto highway #7 from 511. Traffic was slow, we were about 10 vehicles back, sitting for 3 lights. Not only that, but the light was really slow to change. We sat, second in line, for a good couple of minutes.
Murphy's Law: she crossed right, into the right turn lane, we were right behind her. She took a right, doing a u-turn, to come back and drive into town. She ended up at the red light. I giggled.


This happens all the time! The Smiths Falls market, a great store, indicates that this is an entrance, not an exit. But who reads signs?

Here is the market, we were following the green arrows, to drive south on William.

This woman deliberately pulled out of the parking lot in front of us, and stopped dead. There was no where for her to go. We had to wait until the light behind us changed, and the cars in front of her pulled through the intersection. I wish people would take Driver's Ed!
