Canada Day Weekend
On Saturday night, we got together with some of the neighbours for a get together. It had rained off and on throughout the day so we set up our lawn chairs in their large shop and watched the clouds roll by. Then they started a fire in their fire pit and we roasted hotdogs. It was a great evening and a nice chance to finally meet all these people I wave to as I drive past them!!
Then today we started off at the Bienfait parade. We’ve actually never gone before but heard that it was a good parade. And it was. Tons of people there with many, many floats and classic cars. It was a lot of fun!!
And of course we had to hit up the party at the KinPark. Free hotdogs, snow-cones, popcorn, cakes and cotton candy!! Then we came home and the girls jumped on the trampoline with the sprinkler underneath. Now they’re resting in the den watching a movie. As the oldest would say, “Best day ever!!”
We might roast some s’mores tonight. That sounds like a great way to cap of Canada Day!
The chicks are getting bigger everyday. They should be getting ready to leave the nest by the end of the week or so! There’s a blackbird nest over by the trees that I can’t find and I’m 90% sure that the horned larks have another nest somewhere too. I saw one chase a gopher away the other day. But good luck trying to find either one of those nests!! It was only sheer luck that I’ve found any of the other nests - except for the robins but they're not the brightest bird in the flock!
