Raspberries to you.

Well we were away this past week at our getaway house I fell totally in love with raspberries and could not escape them no matter where I went.....they were after me. Well ok......truth be known it was I after them! No time now to post anymore as I am going to bed to dream of them :)

The Lady of The Bend Bed

We just had a few days in our 'other home' which is in the lovely Fraser Canyon.

Here was the 1st bed.....but she liked the finished product better as a table and I do have to say that it looks so lovely in our home.....although really I had my name right on it. Check out those legs!!!! Such an amazing table. And the cow bell on the top is one that was her Dad's from his early years in Zehner Saskatchewan. He would be so proud to see it displayed in our North Bend home which he always enjoyed visiting.

The sun was shining and we supervised a lot of work that was taking place.

I wanted to share our Mum's new project which she worked on in the sunshine.

Pool Dayz....

Ok for some reason my Mum thought it was rather hot yesterday and that we should all have a cool down......Have no idea why she would have thought that. Just because our tongues were falling out of our faces and our fur was shedding faster than you can imagine and the big ball of golden sun was in the air.

She made a fool of herself to get the pool out of the back shed that has been inhabited by raccoons..thank goodness the neighbours did not see her.....there she was with this long stick....makes us stay FAR back and opens the door fast, reaches in as far as she can with this sticky thing and hooks the pool off the side of the wall and drags it out real fast. Snicker snicker...wonder what really would have happened if there was a raccoon in there.

Needless to say the 'coons' have gone Mum, duh, remember that Dad chased them out then sprayed bleach inside/under the shed.

So there she is filling up this pool after a good wash in case it had raccoon germs. We all run and hide. No way does Elliott want anything to do with the swimming aspect of things. Any time she approached us we would scatter. It took her awhile to finally get me to go in...ok she picked me up and put me in. It was shell shock for me at first, after all this is my first year and there are so many experiences.

I did enjoy it though!!! But I sure was not dumb enough to sit down in it when she told me she had a treat if I sat.

Snicker snicker.....today was a rainy morning so all that work was a waste of time and the pool will be drained and put away till the next sunny day.

Weekend Adventure coming my way..

We are heading away for the weekend and just can't contain ourselves. We are going to our little weekend getaway in North Bend, BC.

It is nestled among the mountains...and of course the wildlife. I'm hoping I can get a bit of bear hunting in this weekend. No no not really, we are not a hunting family and just like to watch them from afar...preferably farther away than they were last year! Right in our yard they were...busy eating our fruit! I do rather like watching the birds in the yard, which are plentiful. Mum mentioned perhaps a hummingbird feeder....but then again, that really isn't fair to them if we are not there to fill it all the time.

The area is so peaceful and serene..........bees busy in the raspberries, birds chirping, bears, creek behind us bubbling away. You can just sit back and relax and that is what I do a lot of.

When Dad comes home we will know it is time to leave as once we see them loading up the truck all hell breaks loose and we run in circles in anticipation of the 2 hour drive.

My favorite part of all about the weekend is that we will get to go to the Canada Day celebrations and have lots of ooooooooooowwwwwww and awwwwwwwwwwws at us. And of course the sitting on the couch there without getting in trouble an Ms Olivia gets to break all the rules and sleep on the bed! Just somehow totally unfair!

The bling....

OK so Mummy is getting really really worked up......... don't see what the big deal is.........I just want to lay in my new bed......bling, sming, ling, fling........who cares just bring on the bed!

No I won't get out! I loooove my new bed!

OK so Mum wants to finish my bed~I love it the way it is!!! But still needs more paint and legs and not sure really if i want the canopy top or not...........not too sure on that one.....but it needs legs Mummy, legs!

The Bed....

Mummy saw in a magazine her friend Holly gave her this cool bed.......

Today she went on a hunt for the perfect base of it...........she got it! Great deal too.

Then to the fabric store she went to get some lace.........but did not get any. She thought that she would let me help her design what she is going to do and I totally agree as it is going to be my princess bed I need some input!

Mum is somewhat of a totaly procraster.........starts one thing and moves onto the next......like ok, where is Elliott & Isabella's quilts???? Just because I know she loves me most doesn't mean that she can't get it together and make theirs...........but no, she is on to something new all the time. It keeps her busy as she is not a TV watcher. Wish she was cuz then I would have more cuddles.

So stay tuned for my princess bed! No pictures by request until the finished job~so come back next June!
