One day last week Michael and I spent a day at the trailer. Yes, the one I sold last summer. Happily we still have access to it as we sold to friends.

It was wonderful to do all of the things we love to do: go for a bike ride, check on the growth and health of our many plants (well, technically not MY plants anymore but since I bought and paid for them, planted them and tended to them they still feel like they're mine), have a campfire, watch the sunset, eat outside etc

This fern that Michael transplanted is doing very well!

 However, the "dance floor" we installed two years ago is looking a bit uncared for!

 We forgot to bring our music with us so no dancing...just as well I guess.

The day lilies are close to blooming and the huge piece of driftwood that Michael carried up from the beach now has a solar light to illuminate it at night - we approve!

 The plants that Michael transplanted around the lamp post are doing extremely well - everything is way ahead of its usual growing season.

 The spirea really needs some trimming - I can't believe how much bigger these two bushes are from last year, but they are looking a bit spindly.

 The clematis is doing well - its almost to the top of the porch which is higher than it's ever grown before.

 The last item that I purchased and planted is this lilac bush - it looks to be thriving in this location.

 The virginia creeper is doing its thing - concealing the neighbour's trailer!

 I regretted not keeping the words "Hope" and "Inspire" to take out east with us. So Michael being Michael he hopped on a bike and rode to the gardening store where we'd purchased them. They had ONE word left and sold it to us for 30% off - our new word is DREAM!  We brought it home with us and now it's on our patio fence.

 I love the rays of the sun reaching down to caress the surface of the lake.

 No day at the trailer is complete without a meal (steak and lots of veggies), a summer beer and a good book.

 The last time we had visited the trailer in March we purchased several bags of wood so we enjoyed a good blaze.

 The sunset was especially  glorious just for us.

 The coastline looking towards the pier on the public beach.

Lookout point - such a gorgeous night! Hopefully we'll get back for another visit before heading east in a couple of weeks.

This post is about me avoiding the topic of WORK. I'm really good at avoiding things....once it has all been processed and worked over endlessly in my brain then I'll get it down on paper...so to speak....but don't you like my pictures? (changing the subject...)
