Day 269 - Red Maple

Caught this red maple leaf 'sleeping' in the grass. I like the contrast between the rich red and vibrant green. I also like the lines - of the veins, contour of the leaf, and the grass blades. Peg says it almost looks like the leaf on the Canadian flag. I wonder what the flag would like in red and green???

Day 217 - Time to Lawn the Mow

A dear friend of ours from Germany, often mixed up this phrase. It became a shared giggle as she would tell us she'd "lawned the mow today". With all the heat and humidity and torrential rains this week, we had to do the deed today despite the 36 degree temperatures. The saving grace was the cool down in the pool right after! Ahhhhhh!

Day 130 - Frosty Morning

It was a frosty morning here in Quebec City. However, we were pretty lucky because further south, yes I said south not north, they got snow. Not a lot but enough to cover the ground. Hopefully, the flowers and plants will recover from the frost and warmer temperatures will be here to stay soon. It is mid May after all.
