cool weather....



The weather is anything but spring-like lately - will be happy to see some sun tomorrow if weatherman is to be believed!



Had a great visit last night with friends and ex-neighbours Pam and Terry - our travelling friends who traded in their house for an RV and the nomadic life. They were passing through the area from Parry Sound where they work at a park for the summer, to visit their son and daughter-in-law in Ottawa. We had a nice dinner together shared a bottle of red wine and had good chat into the evening. They were up this morning and off to Ottawa after breakfast.



Spent the rest of the day lazing around - answering emails and setting up appointments - no need to go into the office - can work from home quite well!


Yesterday Kris brought home some quality bird seed - we scoffed that our no-name bird seed was fine but GUESS WHAT??? This morning as we were enjoying a cup of tea with Pam and Terry in the dining room, we saw a type of bird at our feeder that we had never seen before. Pam thought it was a Pine Grosbeak, but we checked out a birding website and it appears to be a Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Very striking markings (as you can see by my picture) and looks like the new birdseed is working!
