A Brand New Month




 
Here's hoping we finally get warmer weather & we can finish staining the pool deck!  This is the first time in seventeen years we have not opened the pool! in May  Usually it's up & running by now .....

Even though it's been cool, in between rain showers we've been able to take Clancy Mae & go for walks on the trails!  This particular trail is not far from our house.....



It was cool....but perfect for walking & being out in the fresh air!  This part of the trail has two bridges with streams running underneath.....we even saw a bunny hopping across the trail on this particular outing....Clancy got her first look at one.....she was pretty interested.....



Four years after the devastation of Hurricane Fiona....there is still evidence of the huge damage to Island trees....still so much dead wood lying about....great fun for forest fires.....the province has done a poor job of removing destroyed trees.....

Overturned trees....shortly after Fiona we attempted to walk this trail....but there were too many trees down blocking the trail....we had to turn back....


Since the Snowmobile Association maintains the trails,  (snowmobilers use the trails during the winter months).....they do a fantastic job keeping the trails clear....so many people use them for walking hiking, and biking.  The trails run from one tip of the Island to the other....many people bike & walk the whole trail in the summer and fall months...

Some little redhead enjoyed her walk & was wiped out for a couple of hours afterwards....perfect opportunity to burn off some of that puppy energy!  A tired pup....is a quiet pup.....


So, I came across this adorable vintage set on Etsy....and couldn't resist owning it!  Fingers crossed it will ship within the next few days.....my cow obsession might be showing....


Another Etsy seller caught my attention....when I saw this awesome sweatshirt in her shop....and immediately hit add to cart....I'm so crushing on this sand colour.....and with Canada Day coming up on July 1st....it will be perfect for that evening barbecue....


I can pair the sweatshirt with these capris I've been seeing everywhere....they look so comfy...great to pul on & go....I love how baggy they are....and the tulip hem....


This hoodie was an immediate "must have" for me....it just looks so warm & cozy-perfect for evenings outside enjoying the fire pit...I think my love of barnyard animals is showing.....


Thia adorable piece was on sale....how could I say no to an adorable Christmas sweatshirt.....especially with a loooong little doggie on it!!


You will be as surprised as we are....the sun is out today......it promises to be a mix of sun & cloud with the potential for temperatures to reach double digits!  Still a bit of a breeze from the north....which keeps the air feeling cooler.....but the next few days are looking promising.....

Mr. Seventies is anxious to finish staining the pool deck....and we may be able to set the wicker patio furniture out & enjoy sitting outside.....dare we hope....

Join me later today over at https://betweennapsontheporch.net/ for Metamorphosis Monday & tomorrow I'll be sharing over at https://www.myslicesoflife.com/ for Talking About It Tuesday....

Thanks so much for sharing a bit of your day with me.....

Til next time....

  2. Charlotte, love all the cute hoodies, especially the sheep one - so much so that I had to track it down and order one for myself! Clancy Mae is adorable and she looks like one pooped-out pup asleep on her blankets. Glad you are seeing some sunshine. We have been parked under a low pressure system since Saturday evening with rain, rain, and more rain. Ugh. Enjoy your nicer weather and have a wonderful week, my friend!

    1. Hi Kim - anytime you want the link for anything...send me a quick message. I probably could post the websites where I order from. I try to do my due diligence & check out the reviews before ordering as well. That being said - isn't the sheep hoodie adorable? Can't wait to receive it & hope you love it as well! I hope you get out from the rainy weather....we are so over it here! Have an awesome week, my friend!!
