Cluxewe Beach and Beaver Lake

There are so many places that I love to explore and revisit time and time again. I feel so fortunate that we live so very close to these wonderful spots. During the spring we took time to hike with the Sisters on P-Days!

Spring Adventures with Friends!

The SHoe tree is the first stop! 

Perfect day for a walk to the beach!

Dexter's fave spot on the NI with fave friend Chenyse!! Glad she brought her Mom and Sis to visit us! :D

Telegraph Cove

All these specks are Bald Eagles soaring overhead! SPECTACULAR!

Wordless Wednesday seems to be a trend....

A couple of things

I love the time spent outdoors!
I love to spend time with dear friends and wunnerful family!
I feel blessed that I can do both!


I went for a walk at the beach last week with Nicole! It was a beautiful day! Nicole took some amazing pics. We saw flocks of Dunlin, a couple of Harlequin Ducks, a couple of Canadian Geese, Seagulls and an American Red Squirrel.. (It is has always been a passion of mine to identify the name of each species I come across.)  Check out her blog for the pics and a great write up about our little adventure! http://bnthowler.blogspot.com/


The birds have returned to my yard! I love their happy chirping noises! The feeders are up and one is already empty. I have always wanted to participate in a backyard count... I hope this year will be the year to participate! If I remember correctly it will happen around Christmas. 
YAY I found the site! Feeder Watch Feeder watch is another program I discovered last year and didn't get myself registered for... I am so excited!!! It was quite funny... Friday afternoon my dear friends the Shepley crew came for a sewing project visit! We sat out in the backyard and sewed our own version of felt angry birds! (Pics later-Shannon borrowed the camera with them on it) While we enjoyed a bit of sun and fun a flock of geese flew overhead.... mid conversations Keisha and I look up to locate the honking flock! 


The angry birds began with these darlings... 

With my new job I have been weather watching.... A week ago we measured how much rain fell. From Friday to Monday we received 203mm of rain in our backyard! Apparently there is another weather system rolling through starting today.... my rain can is ready! 


I am off to refill the feeder for those sweet darling feathered visitors and then to the kitchen to make muffins for my hungry men!
