Back at the Bluff
Well we are home after our 21 days at Dryad. They went rather fast and enjoyable as well.
The flight home was interesting in that we where not sure that we would make it home when planned but in the end last minute we did. That is normal for life on the lights to not really know if you are going out when planned so you just get ready and wait and wait and wait. Then at some point you learn your fate.
Our homecoming was really great! Two dead mice that had been in their traps for three wks. Lets just say the smell was less than pleasant. Really had one just about throwing up. So after that clean up we have been busy with the house. And with the good weather the outside the gardens are popping up. The lady here with us is a real gardener and the place just shows off colour all summer long. We have been putting in pernnials so every yr they are getting bigger and alot more colour (Canadian spelling). Right at the moment I have a hummingbird sitting on a wire just outside my window. These are the things we love to see our there. As well there has been a great pod of sea lions hanging around making a lot of racket.
The sky is blue and the water calm. So once the mice smell is gone from the house it is beautiful to have the evening outside with no bugs yet!!!!! But we know they will show up soon and the beauty will be gone.
I am slowly getting ready to head out on a wee vacation. Well not sure how wee two months is but non the less it is one of my three trips a yr. Here is hoping our good weather will stay for a few more days and that yours where ever you are reading this from is good too. Will up date later from The Bluff
