Perfect end to a perfect day.
Gus is ready for his close-up. What a ham!

Our next door neighbours Wendy, Don and Tori (Howard the puppy's relatives) have put a Horseshoe Pitch in our shared backyard. Tori's boyfriend Kyle challenged Geoff to a match and, while the youngster won, the geezer made a respectable showing!

Howard's visit

Our neighbour's relatives have a new puppy, his name (still under advisement) is Howard. He's 8 weeks old and a Beagle, Basset Hound, Jack Russell mix. Just about the cutest thing I've ever laid eyes on.

Scenes from the garden

Working in an un-air conditioned office today (won't be repaired for another 2 weeks or so) so I thought looking at some of my winter '07 photos might make me feel cooler......not working so far...... This photo was taken the day after an ice storm.

Where did I put my wallet?!
Family outing as seen in Stratford, ON

Unusual use for knee-highs

We took in the Canterbury Folk Festival in Ingersoll today, the skies were threatening rain while we were there but held off until we were safely home.

The brightly dressed fellow on the back of this golf cart was one of the Festival Jesters. He was quite pleased with himself - he'd discovered he could safely keep his $20 bill tucked into the top of his knee-high, greatest thing since sliced bread apparently.......surely I jest, no I don't.....

Ian Thomas was one of the acts on the line-up and we managed to catch his performance with Ken Whiteley and others at the gazebo (photo below). We heard him with "Lunch at Allens" a year or so ago and he's whittier than ever.

Here goes!

"Here goes" is right. I've been inspired to Blog by "little orange guy's" rather witty blog and by Bitstop.ca's site and blog - wonderful photos. Not sure if I'll be disciplined enough to keep it up on a regular basis, only time will tell.

My husband and I are drive-in movie fans so we're off to see the new Harry Potter movie under the stars tonight. There's always a huge line to get in, the onion rings and fries are great - a good time is had by all.

I've included a photo taken Canada Day at the drive-in. There were fireworks between the first and secon movies - the backyard kind, but fireworks all the same.
