Ice Ice Baby!

This image reminded me of the pictures you see of icebergs taken on Alasken cruise ships and I just had to show you my icebergs in my back yard this morning.

And this must be my ice breaker ship the S.S. Mick

Sunny days

Even though I did not take this photo it seems to portray how am feeling today . This is my grand daughter Emily and myself floating in the pool last August. We have a four foot high pool that will comfortably hold several people. The pool really only gets used about 2 to 3 monthes but when the weather is nice I could live in it. The pool gets set up by the end of May and We like to have a pool party on the first of June. Anyone who lives here will know that the weather is not very warm by that time and the first time is like the polar bear swim that people do on New Years . But its a riot and we have a great time, if the cold water doesnt stop your heart. LOL

Orange

Today I went to the acupuncture place to try it for the first time. They had this orange tree . I think the leaves may have been made of jade. I wonder if the writing on the pot means "You are going to be our pincushion for the next hour" I think I felt things move that have not moved on two years. So I am crossing my fingers that this will be beneficial to me.

Some Kind of Sign?

As I was walking down my driveway yesterday I looked to the sky and was surprised to see what appeared to be a V in the sky. I'm not too sure if it was a naturally occurring cloud formation or if it was dispersing jet trails, either way it looks like its my day. It was about 2 hours before the sun went down , but the moon was visible as well.

Old Goat At The Market

I bet you thought I was talking about my husband. Well I was refering to the retired goat in the photo above . He doesnt go on the roof anymore but back in his heyday or should I say hay day this guy would spend the summer frolicing on the roof with all his friends. The market at Coombs is one of my favorite places. I cannot go to Vancouver Island without stopping for Quiche and general shopping for fresh farmers goods of all sorts. Its like a country mall with many little shops promoting the work of local artists and selling all sort of unique items.

The debate continues

This is a metal artwork by a Vancouver Island artist. I saw some pieces like this last year while vacationing there. I went home without buying one and it stayed in my mind for the whole year. I knew if I got back and I could still find them I would not make that mistake again. So now I am the proud owner of this sculpture and since it was untitled there has been much debate about whether they are ravens or crows. It would appear that even they are arguing about it.

Low Tide

One of the other sites that I like to see when I'm here us the arbutus trees. Canada's only deciduous evergreen tree. It's an interesting tree that seems to shed its bark instead of its leaves. ( the naked tree) This pic was taken minutes away from where we are staying . This is one of the nicest beaches around . Going home tomorrow and I know I'm going to miss it here.
