Easter Sunday excursion

For our Sunday excursion this week we went away for the night with our good friends, the Lewises. Here is a summer pic (borrowed from their website) of the Quarterdeck Beachside Villas in Summerville Beach on the South Shore.

The weather was cool but gorgeously sunny so we had a nice long walk on the beach.

We found this injured seal on the beach that was being bothered by some dogs so we got an old sheet and assisted it back to the waters edge. The shadow is Karen clapping here hands to try and get the seal to look at the camera. I am standing in the water - glad I had boots on!

Our villa had 2 bedroom upstairs. This is our bedroom with a tray for 'Tea by the Sea'.

Lealand and Gary on the lower deck.

Karen on the upper deck - the two bedrooms shared this deck - notice the gorgeous view!

What a magical place - the sound of the waves and the moonlight on the water - we were so lucky to have such great weather. A short, but very nice get-away!

Happy Easter!

The weather cleared off after supper and the sun actually came out so we decided to go out and take some bunny pictures since tomorrow is Easter. I'm holding one of our babies here. He was in an hurry to get back in the cage because it is cold here!

The bunnies are enjoying the sun just before it sets. I don't know if they've heard the weather forecasters calling for 6 more weeks of winter weather or not. We're getting a little sick of the snow and cold - so imagine if we were actually living outdoors!

O.K., so I did chum the bunnies up with some bread to get them to gather around. . .


These two look like an old married couple just snuggled up together.

Callie gets a little freaked out when the bunnies swarm around her so she likes to get up high and look down on them. The bunnies are not one bit afraid of the cats - they hop up to them and sniff them - it's quite funny to watch.

As you probably know, the bunnies are sort of our cottage branding and we admit we are a little bunny crazy - so Gary has taken it a step futher and designed a bunny coat rack for cottage #2.

This Sunday's excursion . . .

For our Sunday excursion this week we went to visit our good friends, Tony & Paulette, to see their newly renovated kitchen. Their kitchen is gorgeous! Their daughter, Haila, made good use of the new kitchen and baked us some delicious peanut butter cookies - Yum!

Here Tony and dog Charlie pose for a photo. You might not recognize Tony without his tool belt - he helped Gary with the garage addition last fall.


Our our way home we took a detour to see why a local road was 'closed except for local traffic'. Humm, I wonder why? This sink hole is about 3 feet deep - wouldn't want to slip off the pavement here. We didn't get the snow that Ontario and northern New Brunswick got - we got heavey rain instead and this is just some of the damage caused by the rain - lots of flooding in fields, basements, and some roads.

What a difference a day makes . . .

This is what we woke up to yesterday morning - a little snow and everything coated in ice and school cancelled. I'm glad we didn't have anywhere that we had to be so we didn't have to try and scrape this crap off the car windows! Is this what everyday is for you Tim? If so, YUCK!

Even the blades of grass were each coated in ice.


Can you believe that this is about 8:30 this morning? Snow gone (thanks to the pouring rain last evening), sunny and quite warm.

About 3:00 this afternoon we had 5 deer below cottage #3. I tried to get around the cottage to get a better shot from the other side and when I peeked out, they were gone.
