A lot of landscaping (once the sun came out) and a lot of birds this segment. We've watched through our telescope our two eaglets growing from little grey beings to quite big birds. They are now poised for flight but we will miss this stage while we are away. Some of the vegetables will also be ready while we are gone but Kelly will tend to them, watering and eating them if necessary!
It's been wonderful getting to know our beautiful house and working in the garden. The amount of rain we've had has been a challenge - no point working in the mud but progress has been made. Mike and Cynthia, who we originally met in Nova Scotia and who we have visited a couple of times in Santa Cruz, CA stopped in for a nice visit from June 9 to 14 with their RV. They fully tested the sani-station, the 50 amp power and water hookup we have for our RV friends. Everything worked great and they loved it here. We went for a 90 minute tour around Pender Harbour in the SloCat.
Kelly has been impressive with two wonderful dinners he cooked for Mother's Day and Father's Day including Flapper Pie for Larry and with the work he's put in on the landscaping and the fence. While we are gone, he and the neighbour (also Larry) will complete the rest of the fence.
We're packing for our trip and the next installment will be all about that. We are going to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary in Ucluelet this weekend then on to points north - including Alaska and the Yukon. We will be back the end of July!!
