So where is the wife??



Safely on the ground shooting pics,once he is done I will have to start raking, and I thought I was all done! But then i looked up- big mistake - more leaves no labour!!
And now that I have evidence that Ben is actually doing hard labour he may want a salary!!

Ottawa's Tall Ship




The black jack is now used as a learning tool for young sailors and cruises up and down the Ottawa River, It is a real site with all the sails - when it is windy enough for them to be hoisted. The Black Jack origins were as a tug, originally constructed in Scotland and sent to Quyon, Quebec for fittings. Launched in May 1904 and later converted to a tall ship in 1952. She has sailed the Ottawa River, the St. Lawrence Seaway and down to New York City for Tall Ship Rendezvoua

Supper anyone



The geese are very bold they come right up to our breakwater. Today they were visiting early this am , however they have flown off. Probably gone south and the next crew should soon arrive. I am sure that you have room for a few in your yard or on your table?? I will give you directions............

While the wife was working the hubby was snapping



The moth/butterfly blends in perfectly with the brick of the house. Luckily he/she were able to sit still and wait for Ben to return with his camera

Full time job! No pay ... Any takers



The color is very pretty, but take a second look who is going to have to rake the end result? You got it ME

Leaves Leaves everywhere



Just when you think you are done you look up way up and there they are taunting you!

All i need is buttons!!




This is a baby blue mohair sweater that I sneezed my way through making. You will notice two little hats one is a preeemie and one slightly larger with a big pompom , I love pom poms!! The hats were made with my knifty knitter a new to me knitting tool. It reminds me of the little one that i had as a kid that was a simple spool with finishing nails and I knitted cordes galore
