Hot Summer Days

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! It's 6:35 am, we're on the deck with the boys. My favorite time of day, with a little background music and the birds chirping away. It's already 25 Celsius.  We have another heat warning in effect for the next few days although it's not feeling as humid as the last warning we had. 

This past week was good and quiet. The boys had a few walks by the lake. It was nice and breezy. Russell got his usual outdoor chores done. The backyard grass is growing like crazy, thanks to the new sod. Our front grass hasn't been cut in a few weeks. It is looking rather brown due to the lack of rain. Even our perennials are looking a bit sad but they will bounce back, they always do.

I followed the Canadian Tennis Open in Montreal. I'm not a tennis fan by any stretch but was rooting for yet another Canadian athlete. Well done Victoria Mboko! 

Merlot and Sherlock are doing well. It's interesting to watch how their personalities seem to evolve with time. These days, Merlot is the play monkey and Sherlock is the "I'll do anything for treats" kind of guy. They are liking the "find it" game, especially since I'm making it harder and harder for them LOL! It's a good mental enrichment activity and it's something we can do anywhere in the house. Bonus, it only involves a couple of kibbles!

Not much else is going on with us. We will both resume our workouts in September. We took some "time off" since our return from Italy. It will be time for a reset soon. September will also bring the sale of the 2025-2026 tickets for the Montreal Canadians....I'll be on it like white on rice for possibly a game in November with the Boston Bruins.

That's it for today. We have a busy week starting with friends coming over for lunch on Tuesday. The Montreal RibFest is on this coming weekend...I smell ribs on the menu 😋

Have a great week everyone!

Always time to investigate under
the shade of a tree on a hot day!

Merlot says, Sherlock...look the
squirrel is up there!

The boys returning from backyard
gate duty...they love the new
patio stones.

The morning chill...quiet time
on the deck with Daddy.

TV time...snug as bugs in a rug,
these boys love their comfort.

Spicy and Cooper loved to sit on the
bench in the backyard. This moment
