All hail summer!

Where have I been?

Well, summer has made it's brief, but GLORIOUS appearance in Canada. This means that we have been outside!

It's really the first year that we have had a yard of our own...We have always lived in the centre of our city in an apartment or garden home, which has meant that we've had no yard. Two years ago we moved to a house that has a little garden of it's own (yippee!). Unfortunately the garden was a desert when we moved in, so we spent last summer adding a bit of grass and some plants. We have much to learn (OH SO MUCH) about gardening...but for now, it is our imperfect (but perfect) garden to hang out in.

We relax and drink coffee:

We relax and make chalk drawings:

We relax and blow bubbles:

But we NEVER, NEVER get into the pool (and I mean NEVER!):

Everybody sticks to dry land pursuits:
