Oh, one more picture!

This is what Brenton has designed for our new road sign. Very simple and classy, I think. I'll take pics of the real thing when it is done!


Finally . . . an update

I know it's been awhile - time just seems to go so fast these days - not enough hours to get everything done! So, what's new? We moved Brenton to Halifax on May 26th and he is busy looking for work and setting up his great bachelor apartment - prime location on Spring Garden Road! He'll be home next week for graduation and Prom - where did those years go? Seems like just yesterday we were at Jason's highschool graduation.

We're busy getting ready for the 'busy' season. There's always lots to do - Gary is making a new road sign this year as our old sign was a victim of the high winds we had here this winter. Brenton has designed the new sign and Gary is constructing it. Gary's been working on the pond as well - the goldfish are in and this year we have a couple of turtles so the pond must have a fence. Here's the temporary fence.

Our new hibiscus bush - it's such a pretty color. Oh, a bonus to having the fence is it will also keep the bunnies out!

Our calla lillies - donated by Karen's Mom, Marilyn. I think they make a nice addition and the black bunny (Scooter) is just trying to figure out how to get in there and taste them . . .

Sprocket continues to do well - he's such a baby - he still like to have a little 'baba' at night before he goes to bed - only a couple ounces of water, but he still enjoys some cuddle time. Here he is playing with Gary - oh, am I that bald? - yup, you are honey, you just don't get to see that view of yourself!

Well that's about it for now, guests are checking in - we only have one cottage vacant tonight - neat for this time of year. And, on tourism being down and the recession and all - we are 83% booked for July already! So it looks like we'll have another great summer!
