Is Spring on the way?


Katie enjoying the sun!

This picture was taken this morning as I sat in my chair having breakfast. The time? Approximately 11:00 am.

Although the mornings have been foggy and a cool minus 7 or so; by mid-morning the fog has gone and the sun has been shining. Katie is a sun lover and to me this is a sign of warmer weather and just maybe spring is around the corner. Katie will follow the sun as it moves across the floor until she can no longer find a sunny spot and then will curl up in Richard's chair.

Yes; although it is only the beginning of March and in Prince Albert, SK, the birds are beginning to return and chatter happily from their hidden spots in the trees; Spring is on it's way.

After being sick with bronchitis for almost 10 days; this fact has cheered me as I returned to work this past week. Happy Spring everyone! Maybe a bit premature but I need this.


Katie Needs it Too!

FIRST VACATION DAY

The Flower of the Day



Hemp Nettle




Here I am. The question is: are we squatters or campers?




We have one of the prime sites and the first place we always check when we arrive in Grand Marais. When we arrived on Sunday we drove down to the front and bingo this sight was open; we moved in; you have to just love this view of Lake Superior! (Picture taken from beside the door of our motor home.)






The weather was lovely and I took the whole day to just sit outside and knit. What am I knitting? Let's see it's baby blue, does that mean it's for a grandson?




Katie loves to look out the door of the Motor home; she would not venture out even if we allowed her to; she is a true scaredy-Kat.




Just a short walk from our parking spot is this view of the Grand Marais Harbour.




The first picture is a misnomer, the camp ground is lovely, every so often you come across a plant box like this and the flowers are absolutely gorgeous. This box is just one spot over on the corner.








Yes, I'm still knitting and relaxing, that is the order for this week of holidays. Relax and bring the blood pressure down.
