Happy Sunday everyone! We woke up to rain and cool temps. It will be a sweater kind of day. Russell seeded in some spots yesterday so it's good for that.
This past week was good. Sherlock's tooth extraction site healed beautifully and the giraffe came out of hiding. That was the highlight of the week for our boys. It even made its way to the basement for some fun games LOL! All is perfect again!
The highlight of my week was the Habs' win last Monday. They have surpassed everyone's expectations in a big way. No matter what the outcome of the Eastern Conference Final is, we will be proud of their accomplishments. Go Habs Go!
Our sweet Merlot turned three last Friday. He enjoyed a little bit of cake and some belly rubs. We went for walk and ran into our friend Errol. More birthday hugs were had. Both boys tried a new maze with jumps and did very well. It was a good day 🎉
A pair of cardinals has built a nest in the yew by our back door. Both the male and female have been in and out of it for most of last week but we haven't seen much action since yesterday, although we saw the female going in this morning. We're curious to see whether they decide to stay given the constant door traffic with the boys. Part of us hope they relocate if chicks hatch and the fledglings start their flying lessons. It could be problematic with our ever so curious pooches 😉 I suppose nature will takes its course either way.
I leave you with random photos and videos taken last week. I also include two photos that came up as a memory of the pontoon boat that we had when we lived in Huntsville. Of course, we named it "The Coop". We had some good times on that boat.
Have a great week everyone!

| A little cool on the deck, so it was Uggs, a pashmina and the boys to keep me warm. |
