Big Kid Bed

Cassia all ready to help put her new bed together.

Working hard.

 Excited kid

 Testing out the new duvet cover.

First snuggles in the new bed!

Late October

Apparently I don't take pictures in the winter. But I am getting tired of the old post, so here are some shots from sunny October.

Runbike + leaf pile + style. She dresses herself these days.

 

This tastiness lasted into the first week of November. I am definitely going to encourage the ever-bearing raspberries to spread in the patch.

Cassia in a Box

 

She loves this game...

 

Hornby Island

 Spent some time mountain biking and beach combing on Hornby this summer.

 

Crab hunting.

 

She doesn't always smile for the camera.

 Hornby's Elementary School

 Awesome community centre entrance.

 Exploring the sandstone down at Ford's Cove.

 Adorable and tame (unless you have a garden on Hornby).

 Bikes at the recycling depot/free store.

Our old sailboat! We sold this very boat after a spring and a summer adventure back in 2009. We knew it might be somewhere on Denman Island and then spotted it right at the ferry terminal. Happy to see that it is in great shape and looking ready for an adventure.

Gulf Islands

We went cycle touring! Like, way back in August or something. 

Luckily Meghan actually updates her blog promptly and with words and stuff.

Sunshine and muscles

East Point on Saturna Island.

Organized hitch hiking - gotta love the Gulf Islands.

Harvest

Thai curry ingredients (except the tomatoes).

C chowing down on a 'mato'.

California Poppies

My fave flower in the garden this year is the California poppies. Latin name is Eschscholzia 

californica - I had no idea you could put two 'sch's in a row.
