Life Unexpected

Ever hear of a TV show called Life Unexpected ? I hadn't till today. They are in their second season and were filming at Trout Lake. I did take many more pictures, but they didn't turn out.

They had a playground set up with kids for the background, but the actual scene they were filming was hard to see.

The weather is gorgeous, not as hot as it has been, which is nice. I need to get out and sit in it more, as it makes me feel so much better, even if it won't cure any of my problems.

I haven't been blogging much, but have been reading your blogs and leaving comments. It's not that I don't have any stitching to show, as I do and lots of it. I'll try and get some picutres taken and post them.

The other day I noticed the eagle was back. This is very unusual as he only comes for about 2 weeks in February.

Last night we had a bit of a storm, windy and raining all night long. This morning it was fairly nice and then BAM poured rain like there was no tomorrow. This lasted a couple of hours and now has stopped and the sun is trying to come out.

I went to Michael's this morning to buy some DMC to finish off a couple of things. This is when I got caught in the rain storm, not nice.

So now I am off to put those last stitches in so I will have something stitchy to show next time.

PS Soon after I posted this, the sun disappeared the rain started and we have lighting and thunder...crazy weather !

I stitched this one last year and thought it was about time to finish it off. As I was sewing this it was a PITA, but I'm glad I stuck with it as I think it turned out pretty nice, if I may say so myself :) The same fabric is on the back.

It's a beautiful day here, sunny, dry and not too cold. I sat and looked at the mountains, it is such a nice view. I get lost in my own thoughts and daydream, till Tiger pulls on her leash and then it's back to reality :)

He's Back

Every year, at this time, an eagle comes to Trout Lake and sits on the same branch in the same tree and drives the crows crazy.

Is that a Robin, sure looks like one, since our weather has not been too bad the last few days they must think it's springtime.

Tiger got tired of my taking pictures of the eagle and decided to wade through the puddle. She's going to need a bath after this :)

We went to Trout Lake today and I took my camera along.

Tiger tries to dig up a rock and can't understand why it's not happening.

Then decides she needs to see what that sign is all about.

Gets all the way up to it, maybe she needs glasses :)

Oh ! That's why Mama said don't go out there, better get back to her now.

We then go for a walk around the lake and what do we see at the other end but some "idiot" with his child, even if he can't read he should have known better. There were some city workers there that told him it was very thin ice and to get off, thankfully he listened.

PS If you click on the pictures they look much better.

The weather forecast was wrong, no rain today. To make up for that they are calling for rain tonight. I really wish they could get it right. Anyways Tiger and I went to Trout Lake and I took some random shots of the trees. These are on the other side from where the flooding is. As you can see the sky was mostly clear and sunny, nice day for a walk.

I'm stitching on an exchange right now, so have nothing to show. It is to be mailed by the 20th and the stitching is not going as fast as I thought it would. I'm sure I will get it done on time, but feel the pressure.

Ducks and a Crane

It may be Fall but we are having some exceptionally good weather. The ducks were having so much fun, I took a little video of them.

All Summer I have been trying to get a picture of this Crane. I would either forget to put the zoom on or not focus get a headless bird. So I'm rather pleased with this one.
