Summer Distractions

Hello Lovelies.  Hope everyone is having a nice summer so far.  I know it's hard to stay motivated 

making yarny things in the summer, especially when it get to 90 F/30 C plus weather.

I've mostly only managed to make these Canada Day themed coasters.

I managed some knitting and crochet at the beginning of June when I took my first 

flying trip with my aunt out to British Columbia, on Vancouver Island.  I found flying very exciting and didn't really knit that much, I was glued to the sites out the window, well when there was more than just clouds.  

Here are some pics from my trip.

It's so green out there and the air is so clean.  I slept so good too.

So many trees and the size of some of them are massive. I made these collages

as I have way to many pictures to share.

Pacific coast line, unique trees, lots of rock.

Unique gardens.

Beautiful coastline and vegetation. There is moss on all the trees because they get so much moisture and rain.

Flying on the way back we were on the Disney Frozen painted plane.  After the clouds cleared getting closer to Calgary on the way back I got to see the Rocky Mountains. An amazing site to see.

We stayed with my uncle and aunt and their cuties Westie Momo. Found some quaint

shops in their town, even a yarn store. My aunt there paints and I managed to get one 

of hers painting to bring home, well 3 that is to be hung side by side. Blazing Birches 

she calls them. Middle picture is the sunrise the morning we landed driving home. 

And when my honey picked me up from the train station he surprised me with roses, of course 

I shed some tears . This was the first time in 15 years we were apart from each other.

This past week we had our fireworks for the Canada Day/4th of July 

Celebrations on our river between the borders.

And to end it with my fur babies.

These 2 have become quite the chums.
