Nana Lorna's journey

This photo of Aurora and her doting grandma was taken on Nanny Lorna's deck before she set out on her trip--a voyage which turned out to be more eventful than she planned, including a hospital stay in Nova Scotia, interspersed with all of her visits to family and friends in eastern Canada. Time to come home for a rest...?!

Owlspotting

A wise old owl
Sat in an oak;
The more he saw,
The less he spoke.
The less he spoke,
The more he heard.
Why aren't we all
Like that wise old bird?

Hair

Miranda got a french braid, Mama a cut and colour, and ditto for Nana. Nothing like sprucing up for summer, especially with all of our various plans: Nanny Carol coming from Ottawa, Nanny Lorna travelling back east to Ontario and the Maritimes, and the rest of us house-sitting in Deep Bay, right next door to our "real" house for a few weeks...Not too harried a schedule!?!

View from the Falls

Well, actually, this is a view from Claire's property, sort of below and next door to our place. We had fun showing our Vancouver cousins (Jane, Merlyn, Dan, Jenny, and Lach) the work in progress; they joined us on the weekend for a celebration of Aurora's first birthday. The weather co-operated for an al fresco lunch at the cabin and site tour of Huck Hill. Maybe we can celebrate baby's next birthday at home--a girl can dream!
