Yesterday I also watched the Canada Day celebrations from Ottawa- which I do every year. Since Justin Trudeau took office, I have seen a great change in the demeanor of our Governor General. He shows that he is genuinely pleased and happy with the direction our country is heading. He is joyful and it was he who started the dancing !! with glee ! There is genuine affection from our vice regals and the Trudeau family. So heart warming and nice to see.
Today all the scatter rugs and mats were gathered up - they won't go down until the rooms are clean ! Lists were made-- what wool I need to buy and menus for camping. Hubby brought up our old elctric kettle which we will bring camping. It'll be so much easier to make tea and hot water for washing dishes. Why use up our propane when we're paying for electricity ? We are even bringing our old toaster so breakfast will be a snap !
The Tour de France started this morning so I was up bright and early to watch while I sewed on the hexagon quilt. I think I have organized the pieces enough that I can bring some with me to do at the campsite and while the others are hiking. I will stay behind with the dogs and a chair.
It looks like the way the weather has been predicted that our garden should survive our absence. last year there was a heat wave and our plants in the vertical planter suffered. A good water and maybe a shot of fertilizer should do them through.
It's quite a dull day today and rain is predicted. A good day to relax, maybe figure out what books we'll bring to read, although I wonder how much of that we'll be able to do with a 6 year old and two dogs !
