Too darn busy, or lazy, or – maybe just out of inspiration lately. Caught in the humdrum, as it were. Anyway, here I am.
Spring was kind of miserable, after all, and that doesn’t sit well with me. Another of my favourite trees at the cottage has bit the dust – our double birch, which has been ailing off-and-on for a number of years, has finally thrown in the towel. We’ll probably take it down next year, or in the fall. So sad to see it go! And glad we planted a tamarack in the hollow near the old place, when we did.

| Less shade, too - glad we have lots of insulation. |
The big tamarack that we had to take down in the winter has yielded a lot of wood, and given Iain an on-going project with the chopping that needs to be done.

Our dishwasher at home died, so we decided it was time to get all the appliances for the cottage at the same time.
 |
| Two problems: a) they aren't that lovely Harvest Gold we were enjoying for so many years; and 2) we can't rely on this refrigerator to heat the cottage for us on cool days (we used to refer to the old one as "The Reheaterator"). |
Nice to have the kitchen finished off.
 |
| Having a dishwasher is SO SWEET! |
Did I mention that Sis gave me a beautiful bird feeder for Christmas? I love it!
 |
| When the sun hits it, the relections off the glass are beautiful! |
My Aunt Eileen and Uncle Wilbert celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary! We were blessed to be able to celebrate with them.

We have been at the cottage as much as possible.
 |
| Mom kicking back. |
And we go in to see Sheila as much as we can, too.
 |
| Isn't she a lovely lady? We think so! |
Her garden is so relaxing!
 |
| Her Honeysuckle is always gorgeous! |

Tragically flawed cat feeder!
