Pumpkin Palooza

Happy Sunday everyone! We woke up to a cool 6 Celsius this morning but lots of sunshine on the way and warm temperatures. We've had such gorgeous weather lately 🌞

This past week was good and ended on a high note. Yesterday, we went to CitrouilleVille in St-Zotique, a family farm with 1500 acres of fun. It's been around since 2019. What a fun place and so well organized. Merlot and Sherlock absolutely loved walking through the fields of pumpkins of all shapes and sizes.  It was very busy with families and kids but we didn't feel crowded. It is very spread out. Our munchkins were well behaved throughout the whole time we were there, such good boys!

I got a little bit of yard work done last week. There is still lots to do. Russell cut the grass again although it is not growing as fast due to the lack of rain. We might get some tomorrow. I'm kind of hoping so as I need to get stuff done in the house 😏

We have a resident chipmunk that is driving our boys crazy, even more so than the squirrels do. Sherlock is especially obsessed with it. Even if he can't always see it, he can smell it from a mile away. Merlot follows Sherlock's nose LOL! 

This coming Thursday, my friends Lise and Diane are coming over for lunch. The three of us worked at JTI-Macdonald. We call ourselves "Les Sexagenaires"... we turned 60 in the same year and have been having an annual lunch ever since. This year, it will held at "La Terrasse Duncan". It will good to see each other again, lots of catching up to do!

I end this blog by remembering Radar, another Havanese friend who crossed the rainbow bridge last week. He was 10. Although I've never had the pleasure of meeting Radar, I followed his life journey with much joy. He was the darling boy of Angela and Ed, and the soulmate of Patches. Our hearts go out to the three of you. Run free little one. You will be in good company with your other Havanese buddies. Say hi to our Cooper & Spicy for us 💖

That's my blog for this last Sunday of Summer. Have a great week!

Family fun in a pumpkin patch!

Russell and the boys visited one of 
the many pumpkin houses.

The view from the pumpkin widow was special 
and the boys enjoyed it totally.

Sherlock and Merlot were happy
to be able to roam and rest in the
pumpkin patch.

Pumpkins as far as the eye can see
and all of them were for sale.

The grand entrance to CitrouilleVille.

Run free sweet Radar.
