Yay!!!!! The Beach
Ed and I have been working hard around the house ........ don't think we've gotten a hang of being retired yet but I think we've gotten really good at being re-tired. At least I have. The vegetable garden has been dug out and planted .... tomato plants went in yesterday so I'm crossing my fingers that we don't get any more frost. The flower beds are slowly taking shape. Two beds are disappearing from the front yard and I'm moving the edging stones to the back yard and using them to edge the back garden. One bed is gone and in another week or so the second one should be gone which will mean all but one bed in the backyard will be organized. Ed has been spending a lot of his time encouraging the grass to grow ---- he's still trying to get the grass to grow after we devastated parts of the lawn with the construction last year.
Last Thursday we took a day off and drove to Sauble Beach (an hour north of Walkerton) to visit our neighbours (Ron and Ellen) at their cottage (they were on a weeks holiday). Being a Thursday early in the season the beach was quiet so Zaph was able really enjoy himself.
Oops we forgot to bring Zaph's good leash and chocker collar so he was able to drag Ed to the beach. We think that the beach exerts a magnetic force that pulls Zaph towards it with exteme force.
Zaph encouraging Rob to hurry up and get to the water.
Zaph teaching Ellen how to play "stick".
Pretty good throw for a girl .... see the stick in the upper left corner of the picture.
An old Franklin wood stove was in the basement when we moved into our house. The house inspector informed us that the Franklin stoves were not considered safe for use in a house so this summer we moved it out of the basement. When Rob saw it he asked if he could have it to use at his cottage. Currently he has it sitting on a rock outside the bunky and it works great.
The sprinklers have been running most evenings as Ed encourages the grass to grow. One evening I found a "thing" with a very wet head standing by the door ---- someone must have been surprised by the sprinkler. I tossed a towel on him so Ed could dry him off, but instead Zaph followed me around the house towel and all.
