Good bye May!

Happy Sunday everyone! I can't believe that this is the last Sunday of May. Time goes by way too fast. Although we've had some very hot weather this month, we also had some cooler days. May also brought some fierce rain storms. So many people only got their power back just days ago from the latest storm. 

This past week was good for us although marked by this terrible, senseless school massacre. Words cannot express how sad it made us feel. What is this world coming to 😟

Our weather today is sunny and warm. My brother came for coffee this morning and we enjoyed his company on the deck. Despite some cooler days, we've been eating outside. We call it our outdoor kitchen. Even the pooches have been enjoying their alfresco dinners!

Our grass is growing like weeds and is very green.  Our planters are doing well and thriving. The canna lilies that I planted in the barrels are getting huge already. I can't wait to see the flowers. This year, I bought the Cleopatra canna, a yellow and red flower. They should be stunning!

On Tuesday, I will get my second booster. Next up will be the 🐒pox vaccine.....I had to throw this one in, a little humour has never hurt anyone 😊On Thursday, Russell and I have our dental hygiene appointments. Otherwise, it will be a quiet week, just the way we like it. 

Cooper and Spicy are doing well. They've been on walks, have enjoyed some runs in the backyard, some snuffling in the basement and, of course, some naps with their daddy. They have a good life 💗 

It's a short blog today. The rest of our day will be relaxing. Russell will barbecue Caribbean chicken tonight, trying out a new recipe, should be good. We applewood smoked steelhead trout last night. It was delicious. I'm about to have some for lunch...yummy! Have a great week everyone! 

Cooper and Spicy want to know, WHEN will
our dinner be ready!?

Spicy wants to know, how do you
like my curls?

squirrels!

Spicy loves to lounge and sniff the aroma of the 
Big Green Egg (BGE) smoker...hoping for a taste.

Cooper knows that BGE smoker
means he might get a taste, he is the 
perfect grilling buddy.

Cooper loves the deck - he can
survey the entire yard.

The deck planter in all its 
splendour, the colorus are stunning!
