A hot start to Summer!

Happy Sunday everyone! We woke up to rain but it will clear up by mid morning. The next few days will be sunny but hot hot hot! I'm writing this blog on the deck, listening to the birds. Our pooches are with me, having a post breakfast nap. 

This past week was good. Phase one of our landscaping was completed. We replaced the old deck frame and trellis skirting with pressure treated wood framing. It looks so much better. The crew did an excellent job. This coming week should be the start of phase two, replace the existing patio and some landscaping work. This could take about two weeks, depending on the weather. Yesterday, Russell took aerial "before" photos with his drone.  

On Thursday, I went shopping for new bed sheets and towels, a once every five year event LOL! The sales person at Linen Chest was extremely helpful and had me in and out of the store in very little time.... shopping is not my favorite thing to do 😏 I got us some bamboo rayon sheets. We love them! 

Sherlock and Merlot are doing good. They managed well during the yard work and enjoyed the many interactions they had with the two workers. I got them a tire jump ring for the basement. Something new and fun for the boys!

My friend Valerie, who lost her Havanese Stella in January, got a new puppy yesterday named Tinker. It is the beginning of a new journey which will bring new adventures, lots of puppy kisses and fun. Stella will always have a special place in her heart,  just like our Cooper & Spicy do.

It is St-Jean Baptiste weekend here in Quebec. The holiday is on Tuesday and the weather is expected to be super hot. The revellers will enjoy it!

That's my blog for today. Have a great week everyone!

The boys enjoy chilling on the 
deck while keeping an eye out for
possible intruders.

Looking skyward, Sherlock and Merlot were
intrigued by the crows that have been
flying by, can't chase those.

Merlot shows off his jumping
skills easily clearing the tire jump
while Sherlock waited patiently for
his turn.

Sherlock is a very quick learner
and he made jumping through the
tire look easy...Merlot waiting for
his turn.

Valerie and Tinker buckled up and
ready for the ride home.

Tinker settling at home, what a 
stunning little girl.

toy basket they got for Tinker.

Spicy and Cooper pause for a rest in front of the
catmint at Edgewater Park on our walk...
