Sharing a lolly with Davidson....


Sam shares his Freezy with Davidson this morning...

YUM!!! :)

A walk with the man I love...




Yesterday it was lovely and hot here. 26 or 27 I think. Lloyd and I sat on the porch for much of the afternoon. We'd been out in the morning with the children and we relaxed on the porch - Lloyd with Cairo asleep on his lap. We watched hummingbirds on the feeders and the Chickadees were getting at the nuts....Davidson was pottering about. The children were playing in the sand and with the hoses and then when they got too hot they'd go inside to do a bit more of their crafts or play with the playdough a bit more. It was just a lovely relaxing afternoon.

After a while we left the children playing and Lloyd and I went for a walk - one of the wonderful things about having so much land, is being able to go for a lovely walk without leaving home!! Normally our walks are with either the children or the dogs - or both, but yesterday we decided to go alone for a quite stroll :)

Lloyd spotted a, now empty, little bird nest amongst a Wild rosebush. We saw what we believe to be Common Fireweed growing in our back field - VERY EXCITING!!!!! This makes the most DELICIOUS honey and I would LOVE to grow more of this! I hope it spreads next year.

We also spent some time down by the pond looking at how low the water level is this year....I hope the frogs are doing ok.
