Hello Summer!

It has been wonderfully hot for the last few days. What is even better is I have had the opportunity to enjoy them because someone else has been trained to help cover my night shift.
We were all able to enjoy the garden. See all the new things in bloom.

The tomatoes:

The peppers:

My Begonias:

and one of my Butterfly plants has started to flower!


In the last few weeks, Jackie has grown leaps and bounds.

If we can just get her to be a little less afraid of the dark and every noise imaginable, we will have this potty training in the bag!

We also found this Red Dragon Maple tree to put in the front of the house with my stump from Gaspe.


I even managed to knit a little bit on my Trickster sock!


..and bake a banana cake.

It is a bit on the heavy side. Peanut butter smeared on top goes a long way!

That's about it for now.
Happy Canada to all my Canadian friends!!
and a Happy 4th of July to my American neighbours!
