flora and fauna, Pastimes PEI style

Lots of flowers now in the garden, a little late but most appreciated for September here on the Island.

The climbing nasturtums are 'up the walls' of the house and the garden shed.
the coleus and petunias in the pots are great to see every morning too.

Dogs and Eagles and Babies and Flowers

I never get anything done around here. Too many projects and not enough time for them all. so I do what I feel like doing and works for me. Housework is not on my radar, not even close so when you visit, you'll notice but I have good intentions, just not great intentions to waste my time slaving over dust.



I don't know why she plants more flowers...
 

I can hook but she won't let me...



Dar..n baby; they think she's cute and cuddly...
 

And Barry is no Better...old things...

And the birds are just plain weird around here...
These pics tell you why.... i never get anything done in the line of a day....

Hand Hooked Eagle for Eagle Festival

You can't have the chair..
Because we are going to be demonstrating rug hooking at the Eagle Festival next weekend in Mount Stewart, just a few miles from here, we'll be donating one of the prizes for their fund-raising raffle. I understand that first prize will be a trip to an eagle's nest. That would be quite the win for a naturalist or adventourous person, wouldn't it?  I am not sure how that compares to winning our original design of Canadian maple leaves on a traditions piece you could win it and take it home for your own 'seat'.  If all goes well this week, our eagle wall-hanging will be hooked and ready for viewing, if not it will will be our demonstration piece as we show folks how it is done in the traditional Island way. Perhaps we'll see you there.
