We sat out back, me with a cover over my sunburned shins, having a chat and bird watching. After JB's fall in town, he was taking it easy. He skinned his knees, thankfully he was wearing his jeans.
Back in the old days I'd put Noxema on sunburns. All I had was another cream, Nivea, which helped.
An Ornge emergency helicopter, went from Ottawa to Pembroke Hospital, and back to Ottawa. I guess we have to appreciate our minor issues!
This pilot was having a blast!
All of the critters are working their way through their cycle of life. Even the ticks have reproduced. I was bitten by another tick nymph. It is reacting like a blackfly bite, itchy and oozing.
After Fred trimmed Emily, the pansies are doing well in her elevated position. I will have to watch, though (non-mental note), the planter doesn't have a drain hole, and the pansies were drenched and not liking it.
I experimented with the camera and the phone camera! You can see the firefly on the one flower.
The ivy looks as if it wants to fly! The buttercup, not so much.
I just had to capture it bubbling just before I took it out! These are the joys of spring in Ontario: rhubarb and strawberries.

I really have to do something about this garden. The daffodils bloomed nicely. It gets so dry in summer, and we haven't had much rain. I'd love to put in some plants, but the soil needs amending.
Fred was trimming it.
We have to be pretty quiet, as Fred spooks easily. June 22

Babies are blind, pink and hairless, and are called pups, kits or cubs. They have 3 - 6 pups, but can have up to 10. That'll be fun. They are weaned after 44 days, however, and are solitary critters. They won't hang around.
