We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.
William Ralph Inge (1860-1954)

One more day on the funny farm!








Man, I can't believe how busy we are every day. Daddy is sure that this retirement stuff is gonna kill him! Strange thing is that things don't seem to look a lot different from one day to the next at this point. It's still all a mess. But they do say that it's always darkest before the dawn. Who are "they" by the way? Did you ever wonder?

Anyway, one of the pictures is when we went blueberry picking in our woods. There weren't many berries there because the sun doesn't get through the trees much, but we got a few. I think we'll have to thin the trees around the blueberry meadow and maybe then there will be more.

The photo with the petunias hanging from the porch was taken in Pugwash at the Hidden Jewel Cafe. Cozy little place where you can get a bite of lunch and a coffee, or buy a book (used), or get something in the little gift shop. Very cute place.

And then there is another reno picture. My art studio. The wall right now looks like altered art because of the four layers of wallpaper that I tried to pick off. Time to rent a steamer I think. I'm sort of thinking of lavender, soft apple green, cream....but I'm not sure, yet.

And in the last picture, you can see Ambra and Sierra in their lovely new paddocks. Notice my terrific fencing. No more chewed boards, no painting ever. It will always look like this. Cool eh?

Anyway, we're working on the guest bedroom right now, and also on the family room and tomorrow the insulation guys are coming as well as the new furnace installers. So things are moving along. I'm looking forward to when at least these two rooms are done, because then we will have somewhere nice to sit and visit with you guys when you come to visit us!

So bye, bye for now. Baseboards to sand.
