Sunny Saturday

The sun was too much for Silky...so she was squinting for most of the day!

Our fire pit is still filled with water so Ashley brought his burner over and we lit a fire in there... The burner works awesome and even threw off a lot of heat later int he evening when it cooled down. We roasted smokies followed by schmores and filled ourselves up until we were nearly all napping!

Emil was having fun!

And once the ducks learned of the free treats and hot-dog buns , they also attended the picnic on the beach

A few doors down, at Chris's house, just in front of Ann and Dicks, the wind blew over this massive tree, squishing the little trailer that lie underneath it. Chris will have a job delimbing and burning all the limbs... That was the storm that ripped through hear on Thursday!


We had a surprise visit from Leo and Sandra (not in the photo)and Laverne(centre) on Saturday in their very cool pontoon Party boat... made to relax in and to drink in ,and to have lots of fun in... can seat about 7 or 8 people comfortably. We sat on the boat and had a few refreshments and proceeded to get seriously sun burned on my legs....no problemo...as long as I don't plan on wearing shorts for the next month!

Later, Ashley and Deb came over to enjoy the day on the beach... It was so beautiful and HOT! We never got so cooked that we needed a swim...but I came very close! Note the tents in the background at Tom's place. His grandson got married there today. Leo noted that they had "Real " tents!
An immature bald eagle kept circling around in a chase after a seagull that had caught a baby fissh and deposited it on the beach to die... I think the seagull ate the fish before the eagle came in for dinner!


Now you can see that they set up round tables with fine white linens...it all looked very beautful. Emil watched a bit of the wedding today from Deb and Ashley's balcony and noted that the flower girl ran away back to the house and the bride had to carry the ring-bearer down to the beach... He said it was all pretty funny!
Oh yes, note the wheelbarrow??? The son of the dipstick next door actually saw Emil cleaning up the beach, and the son rounded up who he couls and they all raked and picked up sticks and made their beach look decent for a change.. I am glad one of them has common sense!
