End of summer.

It is almost the end of summer. I'm trying to savour the life around us before it gets tucked away for the winter.

This summer has been very busy!! I got a job at the Golden Lake Restaurant near by.

I worked at Chilawee trails camp again this year!! It was a blast!

Despite the busy life we've been living, the family managed to squeeze in time at the beach!!

 This summer we also added a few members to our pet family!!

Peeper, our female rounen duck.

A mama bunny with five of her bunnies.

Cali, our kitten, who is an amazing hunter!

And I can't forget Peter!! The papa lop eared bunny.

Our garden did produce some food this year!!! Including my favourite!! Tomatoes!!!

This summer I got a tent all to myself!!! I'm enjoying the last few days that I get with my tent!!! 

All in all it has been a great summer!! I wonder what life will bring me next summer?!!

Happy Birthday Lucy!!!!

Lucy turned five last week!!! 

Every fifth birthday is special!!!!!

Nancy bought fun games for occasion!!!

Which resulted in happy faces!!!!

And for a fifth birthday, a special homemade cake!!!

I still remember my fifth birthday!! In our family we always celebrate a fifth birthday extra special!! It is a large step in life! At least I felt it was.

Happy Birthday Lucy!!!

The Growth Around Us

Spring Fever

Sorry! It's been awhile since I last posted.....okay, a long time since I last posted. I've been real busy with school, trying to find a summer job, and construction around the house. Moving is NOT relaxing! 



Anyhow I have spring fever. An actual spring fever! Not the expression. I woke up with a terrible soar throat, and the stubborn girl I am, went to school. I got home and I was burning all over, and still kind of am. Anyhow, bonus!! Sick time leads to blog time!!!

So here are all the things going on at the moment.

The pond is unfrozen and looks good for future swimming!!

Mom has started her garden and sort of took my rabbit cage for the project. lol

The tent has become a play room and a place to sleep if  the bedroom is too hot.

The chickens are happy to be able to run around in the nice weather!!

The tire swings are up and are providing hours of fun!!

And we have Kittens again!!!
Free to anyone who lives near by!!!

Anyway, those are some of the changes spring has brought upon us! All good except for the bugs. So many bugs I feel like I'm suffocating in them! I look like I have the chicken pox! That's how bad it is. Hopefully as the year goes on they'll slowly fade. 

(Or I'll be dead with black flies picking at my bones!!)

Ontario! Doesn't it sound lovely!

Hope you all have a good spring with a limited amount of bugs! And I'll try to keep more up to date on this blog.

                      Spring.............Maybe?

There has been stormy clouds all day, but that hasn't put me down! I'm hoping that this weather is our first sign of spring!!

                             After all it is the first day of spring!!

The chicken are happy with the weather! They are starting to lay eggs!!!

Max, the rooster attempted his first cocledoodledu today!!!

Dad and Boo have become best buddies! They play together all the time!!

We have been chasing the winter blues away with campfires and sweets!!!

Hopefully those winter blues will be gone, and spring will come on in!!!! Fast!!

                                   Winter

I am pretty sure this has been the coldest winter of my life! The temperatures have mostly been under -19. They have even gone down to -39! Here are some pictures of how we have been dealing with this cold weather.

Crafting

My sisters and I have been in a bracelet making mood. My friend taught me how to make a real cool loom for making these; so we had a crafting day, and made lots of looms and bracelets!

Making the looms!

Playing outside

Even though it is cold out we haven't stopped going outside! These are a couple pictures from my sisters broom ball tournament! I actually braved going out to watch it! Afterwards, my fingers and nose felt about to fall off. still it was worth going to see!

And of course the cold can never keep me from skating. Our pond froze over, so now we have an ice rink!

We also are on technology a little more than usual.

lol

And we sleep a little more too!

Oh yeah, and us kids are getting into the winter Olympics!

Go Canada go!!!

Watching other people freeze while we sit comfortably by our laptops!

Enjoy your winter!!
