The girls have been having a blast the past few days. In between the bouts of rain they have been exploring our small berry patch in search of ripe berries that have been left untouched by the local free range bunnies. Below is our first haul. Not bad. Unfortunately they are a bit on the tart side. I have had to break down and mix them with sugar to get the girls to eat them.
Glenn had a fun Baba’s Day. The girls woke him up with presents in bed. Katrine with a hand made CD case card showing him getting a goal at hockey. She was greatly relieved that he did not think that the puck was too large for the stick (she had been worrying about that since bringing it home on Friday). Elspeth was super proud to be able to give him her hand made card along with the popsicle stick tool box. “Baba, you have to put tools in it when you make tools.” Not sure which tools Glenn will end up storing in it, but he can honestly say that he does not yet own a handcrafted popsicle stick tool box! (Don’t worry, his real gift was a bottle of wine and some beer) Then the girls made him breakfast which meant that he was able to have a nice lie in before his bacon, eggs and veggies were ready. The rain today also left our yard too wet to mow and the garden too soggy to work in so he ended up with a relaxing day instead of the planned day of chores! Happy Father’s Day to my hubby and my wonderful dad.
