Victoria Day Weekend...right....

We've had some cold Victoria Days in my life, but this is the first one where I remember snow actually accumulating on the ground! We drove home this morning through a virtual blizzard. It was when we saw these big flakes that we decided it was time to move out. Poor little hummingbirds!

And on the subject of "Why can't we all just get along?"...

Go here for a lovely presentation on how to do it!

Political Prayer

I got an email today from a friend who would like me to go to the Ontario Legislature's site to voice my opinion, as a Christian, on Dalton McGuinty's plan to remove the saying of the Lord's Prayer before legislature. I probably should do it, but I don't think my opinion is the one she would expect me to have, because I don't think they should be doing prayers before the house, and my reason is biblically based. In Matthew chapter 6 verse 5, Jesus tells his followers to not pray in public for show, but to do so privately. He didn't have much time for hypocrites, and this situation looks like politicians trying to look good with their constituents, not real concern for their need for God's guidance.

Hard at work

In his spare time, Iain is working away at the spare bedroom, which is becoming our dressing room.
He's securing the spacers for the drawers, in these pictures.
The backyard is alive with birds these days, mostly grackles, redwing blackbirds and mourning doves. The occasional squirrel visits as well.
Stitches is usually in one of the windows in the morning, watching them, but this afternoon she is relaxing in her favourite chair.

The Clothes Wall

So Wendy wondered if there would be pictures of the clothes wall, and I said "we'll see". So I'm posting the beginning of the project:

This is Iain after drawing lines on the wall to show where the shelves and drawers will go. Exciting, huh?

One of the walls supporting the shelves and drawers - just testing for fit. Looks good! Next thing to do is start gluing and screwing.
