Sunny


The day is full of sunshine - at long last. There are towering cumulus on the eastern horizon so we may have a thunderstorm but until then.... I will enjoy sunshine. My tulips have a disease. If you click the photo it greatly enlarges and you can see the disease. Does anyone know about it. Should I dig up affected tulips or is it caused by an insect?

I have clothes on my clothesline today. My son fixed it almost a week ago but we haven't had a day without rain since. I love the sheets on the line best but all the clothes smell so much better. I don't know if that translates to industrial cities or polluted places but the sea-filled air here is wonderful and I love it on my sheets.

The boy is sick at home with the flu today. I think it may be the first day he's ever been off sick. He went into work and got the crew started and is a phone call and short distance away if they need him. He rented three movies and has laid on the couch for the day. I've waited on him hand and foor, and made chicken, black bean, rice soup. The flu struck PEI quite late this year and has been making the rounds. It's been twenty years since I've had it and I pray I don't get it now.

After being listed in The Best Photoblogs in the World yesterday, I was listed on the front page of the e-edition of The Guardian, Charlottetown's newspaper, as well....on the same day. They listed two of my blogs, this and Shutterchance, on the left under community bloggers. Two of the other three listed are on my daily blog roll so I feel in good company but I must say I'm a bit surprised.

Music today is from a couple of Maritime singer songwriters. I may already have this song up but can't find where at the moment. If so, here it is again.... Love this Town from Joel Plaskett and I am replacing Rose Cousin's absolutely beautiful song If You Were For Me. She's from here on PEI>

Checkin' Out the Turkeys


Twenty two turkeys! Twenty-two turkeys I had to carry from a parking lot, down a set of stairs and into a freezer. I was too tired to do it last night after trivia so did it this morning. Would you believe that's four hundred ninety three dollars worth of turkey!

We were only two for our team last night so combined with another team but did not place. Supposedly the questions were easier...were we just more stupid?

Did some beadwork today. I need to use a magnifier now but I still like doing the work....anything with pretty colours. I made a really great necklace and will make some earings tomorrow and more necklaces.

Music today: PEI folk artist, Rose Cousins, has just released her first cd after two successful EP's. Here are a couple of cuts, Simple Thought and If You Were Me. I love her clear voice.
