Perfume everywhere



The beautiful lupins that have graced the road edges along many highways and lanes and our garden are now producing their seed pods becoming the background so that the wild roses and fire weed become the foreground.




The aroma is wonderful,and they add wonderful color to the property as they contrast the granite and green.

A perfect day!




It's been a perfect day! My good mood was well established by spending time with dear guests who have made their second trip to Newfoundland and brought their lovely daughter to meet us. Thanks, you three for your great energy.


Our friends from Texas arrived with their motor coach. They are staying a few days so we can catch up on their latest exploits. Dot and Jim have a passion for filming wildlife and they are good!


The weather was also amazing. Just the right amount of sun and breeze to create ideal conditions. These summer days are glorious and all the more precious because they are usually sandwiched in between rain systems moving through.

Travelers came by the tea room but chose to sit out looking at the view. These folks from Germany love Newfoundland and hiked many miles.




And wonderful guests enjoyed the dock, taking deck chairs down to the ocean's edge.

Whales!



Can you see the whales out there? Neither can I, but they are there! I watched them yesterday blowing, surfacing and moving over the area feeding on capelin. The day was beautiful, warm, with a lovely ocean breeze.

The wild irises are making their appearance, this blue flag graces our side yard, where it singularly brightens the bog and rocks.
