Ended up downtown today on the Sparks Street Mall for the annual Rib Fest! Can't you just smell how good they were?

Yesterday I heard Bruno moving around in our front hall, scraping the floor with his paws and I figured he was just hassling Zipper, our cat. I yelled at him to "knock it off" and he did so I didn't bother checking further. A little later, when I was on the way upstairs with a load of laundry, I see this:



I then realized that he had been trying to get all the shoes out of the front hall closet (he likes to lie in there since the doors were removed for the new floor) and he's placed them in a straight line.

This is my space! Don't cross that line!

Heard fireworks last night and realized that it was in honour of St. Jean Baptiste day (I live in a very French town!).

Fresh baked gingersnaps! I got the recipe for these from a husband of one of my Epicure hostesses last fall. They are the best!

Rachel could always elicit these amazing groans from Clifford when she rubbed his ears. So far Bruno hasn't quite got the hang of it!

We managed to move about 1/2 of the pile to the backyard yesterday and were back at it again today!

What does a dump truck load of dirt look like? This is a double wide driveway and all of this has to get into the backyard to fill the hole left by our 24' pool.

Mr. Curtis is the music teacher at STA. He started his teaching career when Rachel and her classmates were in Grade 8. He has seen these students go from making noise in Grade 8 to making wonderful music in Grade 12. I know he has been an influence in Rachel's life and she will miss his sense of humour!

This little baby robin was on the front lawn this morning. His/her parents were keeping a close eye and swooped in every now and then to feed him.

Dropped Rachel off at her BFs and on the way back, I came upon these turkey vultures. One of the reasons why I never leave home without my camera. Sometimes, it pays off!
