To-Do List


    Now that school is over, I have a bunch of things that need to be looked after. For this week, I must:
  • Practice - I am hoping that I can do my Grade 10 piano exam sometime
  • Find work - I have to find a job to pay for my tuition next year; I am hoping that I will find something I like
  • Volunteer - I have to find something where I can enjoy myself, while at the same time, helping someone or something
  • Continue French - I have to continue my Rosetta Stone, so that I can speak French fluently
  • Book a road test - my license expires in May...
  • Sew - I have a bunch of clothing that needs to be repaired


Yummy (except for the red onions). Some Greek cuisine my sister decided to make: chicken skewers, tzatiki, Greek salad, and some sort of garlic parmesan chicken.
 
She hasn't been feeling well, and decided she didn't want to eat.
 

Cute pigtails. :)
 
I told her to smile. She did all sorts of interesting contortions with her face.
 
Caught it!... However fleeting it was.
 
You're supposed to look at the mirror in this picture - the reflection on the van. Unfortunately, this picture didn't catch it as I saw it.
 
Grand River. Sorry for the distracting guardrail.
 
There's nothing more beautiful than seeing animals grazing outside.
 
A lovely, full, bright moon one night.
 
E "rearing," while Kaleb is desperately trying to hold on; nevertheless, he was fascinated by this new game. :D
 
I decided I would get a picture of the ducks before it got too dark, but the one duck that was swimming flew away before I could get a shot of it. It was a male mallard.
 
I took a picture of the cattails, instead (they are spreading their seeds, as you can see).

Supercute

 
She grows up so fast, it's hard, sometimes, to remember that she is a child.

So Intent. Future Doctor Perhaps?  :D

As Usual

"Sunny Ways, My Friends, Sunny Ways."


     You don't want to listen to Justin Trudeau's victory speech after the election. It's just pure rhetoric. You have to admit, though, it had been sunny here the last couple of days.
(It's raining today, though.)


This little bird couldn't figure out who was chirping at him.
 
These are not the same pictures

Here he is again (or maybe it's a she?).



Don't those clouds look interesting?

This tree has found some sunny ways (excuse me,  I meant to say "sunny days").

This is something I have never seen before; Kira found it. Take a guess at what it is. 

She's at it again! :)

Naptime.

The Great Sphinx






Doesn't she look part of the mix, too?


John Deere headlights






They finally arrived!




Do you see it?

Spring Cleaning



Spring flowers.

Rototilling the garden for planting

Cleaning out the flowerbeds.
Sweeping.

This picture was from yesterday - I think I forgot to add it.

Summer?

 
 
I am going to say very cautiously that it looks like the summer weather is here to stay.
Knowing Murphy's law, however, it will probably change now that I said that. :)
 
 



 
Guelph Lake swamp area - you've got to admit that it's pretty nice, although my siblings seem to disagree about my "sunset" pictures.

She didn't know I was taking a picture of her  :D
