Wild blueberry time!

Mid July brings lots of wild blueberries this year in the field next to the house.   Harley has added blueberry detection to his doggy skills and helps to find them, but also EATS them!!!  They are very tasty but small, so it takes lots of picking to get very many.  Bob is shown enjoying some on ice cream.   Ahhhh.

Porch soffit progress

Installing this soffit is making Bob a patient man.   He rests under where he's made progress.   It is a little tricky getting the pieces to fit snugly so we take our time and work through it.

Art imitates life?

This opening is on the east side of the house and will eventually be a bay window with a sit-in window seat.    For now the opening is still settling in and although the concrete piers are already installed under this section of porch, we are going to wait another year for the opening to finish this settling process before putting the window structure in.   In the meantime, Catherine cleaned, caulked and weatherstripped the spot in preparation for another winter season.  The space looked awfully BORING, so a little Folk art is now added.   Note the LARGE F for Folk and small a for art.....   Catherine had better not have her heart set on being contacted by the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto.....    Harley poses in front of the mural but George refused (he has become a little pudgier than what the picture shows).

Happy 143rd Birthday Canada

We take a break at Angara to celebrate Canada Day.  In the absence of a flag pole, we improvise with a front and centre location under the arch.
