We’re still
at Charlie and Sheila’s hanging out.
Aileen has been doing lots of weeding while I have made a start on
getting the woodshed filled. We’ve had
some good walks in the evenings. When we
went to Little Qualicum Falls Park a couple nights ago, we were able to get
close to a young Barred Owl who was wailing for food. Photography wasn’t great with the low light
in the trees. The highlight was when the
owl flew over my head only about 5 or 6 feet above me. That would have been impressive to capture on
video but, of course, it happened too fast to react. We went back again last night and took my big
camera with the big lens.
I went ATV
riding on Wednesday but those photos will have to wait for the next blog post
as I have too many for this post. Which
brings up another of my week’s activities, editing. Lots of my free time is spent editing and
organizing my photos to keep them from getting totally out of hand.
Aileen,
Sheila and I made zucchini relish this past week. Tuesday night we grated the zucchini and
salted it down then on Wednesday, Aileen and Sheila processed it. It is so nice to enjoy the rest of the year.
