The Montreal Visit Adventure!

I was really lucky to have my exams finish on the 11th of December, some students don't finish their exams until the 22nd. Bronwyn and Dad came up to the big-poutine city for a retrieval visit. They launched away from Guelph in the wee hours of the morning and arrived close to lunch. While my dad slept in my comfy bed, Bronwyn and I hit the town. I bought her a disposable-film camera so she could take her own pictures of the adventure. We took the Metro to the Pie-IX Station and did the Biodome tour.

After the Biodome, we headed back on the Metro and went back home to my apartment. Bronwyn, my dad and I then went out for dinner downtown at a retro diner style restaurant. They ordered poutine, and I had a salad for starters. My dad ordered a massive smoked meat sand which, Bronwyn had a little burger and I had a vegetable primavera. It was a welcome change from my cheap college meals.

October at Home

Here is Bronwyn, getting some chilly final use our of the pool in mid-september.

Here is Scamp, after his walk. He just loves mom. We also found out that he has intestinal parasites, this explains his frequent vomiting, he has a very deep rooted infection that may take months to heal completely . He is getting better each day.

Bronwyn Graduated!

Graduating Senior Kindergarten!

She is so excited to start Grade 1 next year!

June 29th- Garden Update!

This spring has been super hot and wet. Bronwyn and I have been busy in the garden, planting, sowing and munching away. This photo to the left is one of the strawberries from the ongoing harvest of our backyard garden. Bronwyn is learning that it takes along time to plant things from seed and that some strawberries are smaller than others. She loves to check for new fruit at the end of each day, we eat and count up our bounty. So far we have picked 24 strawberries. Bronwyn is also learning about insects, soil and how bees help the garden. She is still working on conquering her fears or creepy crawlies. Other plants in the garden that we have been enjoying are Lettuce, Rainbow Chard, Spinach, Radishes, Nasturtium Flowers, Herbs, Calendula, Onions and Rhubarb! This photo is of an Herb bouquet I made for some friends.
