As it happened a truck had broke down at his work, resulting in him getting the day off which was perfect ! It was also our granddaughter, Chloe's birthday on the 8th of July. Lots of birthday celebrations on my visit.
Chloe turned 11 years old. She loves the BBQ sauce from Miner's Maple Products, so I had my friend, Abby, make a 1 litre bottle for her. She was one happy camper when she got it (and she will be sharing all of that with the rest of the family).
We all had a fun day with Paul at home for his 33rd Birthday ! The five kids, Josh, Aiden, Chloe, Briar & Connor made him a super huge "candy" card.
It is nice that I am able to go down to visit every once in awhile, as Rob is so very good to hold down the fort while I am gone.
When I had returned back home my Clematis have been coming into full bloom. I so enjoy the three different varieties.
I have finally gotten back to walking more again, and strive to do so on a daily basis. My friend, BJ and I, walked almost 4 miles the other day, and this morning I did 1.66 miles. Walking the past few months with my friend, Sharon, really helped me build my stamina again. Thank goodness for friends !!!
On our walk BJ and I had been fortunate to see Wiarton Willie out, and then came upon a red headed woodpecker, who had been very intent on whatever he had been after. I could not believe the woodpecker never even budged as we passed by him. Yes VERY INTENT.
This is all she wrote this day, Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.
Your granddaughter's birthday is on the same date as my niece. Willie looks quite curious!
ReplyDeleteThat crazy woodpecker is called a Flicker. We are swamped with them here too. If they aren't picking away at something in the grass they are on the lightpost picking at the rope that is tied around the top of it. (Don't remember how or why it is there)
ReplyDeleteWish we could get out walking but the darn horseflies are just nuts. They take a chunk out of ya' when they bite!
I have one of those crazy woodpeckers that wakes me every morning by pecking on the metal plate on the hydro pole! I see the clematis bloomed; lovely!
