Good news from the mail man

I was relaxing on the sofa and the doorbell rang.  I jumped up hoping it was one of my stuffy friends visiting but it was the mail man instead.  He gave me a package and I had to sign for it....if only I had a pen to do that???

Both items were from Ajdin.  One is this cool card from Beanie sent via Ajdin.  Beanie I had my seKrebeary register the card on your blog.  I hope they did it right.

The other item is this neat pen.....with this dashing animal on it.  What kind of animal is it you ask, a fox of course!  Now I finally have a pen that is all mine.  Hmm, this pen is taller than I am I might have a problem here.

I know I will ask Drunk Fox for his help when I need to write something down with the pen.  Thanks for helping out Drunk Fox and thanks Ajdin for the cool pen and the neat card!!!!!!!!!!!

Canadian Rockies....here we come!!!!!!!

It’s Summer, Yipee.  We are off on a trip to the Canadian Rockies.  No we aren’t going to visit Sandy….sadly he lives too far out of our way.  Day 1: We (i.e. my roommates) packed up the car and started driving.  Who would have guessed it rained on the first two days, but it did luckily Monkey and I have an adventourous spirit. 

 If you have never been to Canada before it's worth visiting, right Sandy?  It's a big country and the provinces are beary big.  Still driving (day two).  I kept my eyes open for the Canadian Geese that land near our house in November but I haven't seen any of them...I wonder where they are?

We made it!  This is Jasper, Alberta.  Jerry and Ben there are trains traveling through all the time....you two would love it here.  Here I am in front of the school in Jasper, I was hoping the Canadian flag would be easier to see.  Where is Monkey you say?  He's taking the picture of course...my roommates went off to look at souveniers. 

 I hope my roommates are getting me some Maple syrup (to share of course).  This picture is what I was hoping for in regard to the flag.  Canada has a beary pretty flag, it has a big Maple Leaf on it. 

Since we have been driving and exploring Jasper, I think it’s time to get an accommodation for the night.  Monkey and I prefer first class.  I am starting to worry, whenever I ask my roommates what Fairmont Hotel (beary nice and expensive places to stay in Canada, eh) they always change the subject to the weather or what Ben might be cooking at the moment. 

Oh uh, this doesn’t look good.  I think this is our accommodation for the night.  I had a frank discussion with my roommates and they said this was going to be our accommodations for the entire trip (7 days).  I hope it’s waterproof I muttered under my breath…..

Day two: Time for Breakfast and a hike.  My roommates wanted to try this Canadian Food, Tim Hortons.  We don't have it in my part of the USA.  Monkey and I split a strawberry muffin for breakfast....almonst makes up for the tent last night....almo

Garden update.

Hello blog pals,
I thought I would share an update on my garden.  Remember those packets of wild flower seeds I planted a while back; let’s see how they are doing.  Five planters of wild flower seeds and these are the only blooms I have…..that doesn’t seem right. I wonder what I am doing wrong????  Jerry....any suggestions?

Let’s continue and take a look at the sweet onions.  They are coming along much better than the wild flower seeds.  One roommate likes to cut off the stalks and use those in cooking for a light oniony flavor.

A trip to the jungle?  No, just examining my tomato plants.  It seems that they are growing well….if I carefully look through the branches I can even see some tomatoes.  My roommates tell me to be patient a few more months and the tomatoes should be ready to harvest.

How is your garden coming along?

Long awaited adventure

It’s been a long time since my last adventure luckily my roommates thought the same thing and decided to head to the beach today.  It’s supposed to be partly cloudy and partly sunny, we’ll see about that.   

Monkey decided to come along today, I am glad that she is always up for an adventure as well.  This bridge was beary scary to cross it moved a lot when my roommates walked across it. 

I asked for an adventure and it looks like I got one.  The trail is covered in greenery.  I can kind of see the trail but not really.  Luckily there were not many thorny branches to scrape up my fur. Hmm, this was supposed to be an easy hike….

It’s springtime at the coast the flowers are blooming and one of my personal favorites is in full bloom, that’s right Fox Glove is out.  I know it can be poisonous but I can’t help but love the flower just because of the name.         

The trees grow strange around here.

My roommates deduced that we hiked up into a cloud.  Monkey and I got wet (not pleased about that) but it was cool looking at the trees through the mist.  I wonder if we are going to see the beach from our viewpoint at the top of the mountain?

Ahhh, made it to the top.  What?  Where is the view?  Phoie, I guess we better sit down and have some lunch and maybe it will clear up so we can see the view.

This is about as clear as it got.  You can kind of see the beach if you look hard. 

A pleasant surprise on the mountain lots of wild flowers which I did not really know lived here at the beach.  That and the abundance of Fox Glove certainly makes up for the lack of view at the top of the mountain.

Coming down I convinced my roommates to walk us to the beach for one quick picture lucky for us they agreed….now if I could only convince them to stop and get some hot chocolate on the way home but I heard them saying there isn’t enough time because they have some gardening to do……

 


 

My Double?

I have heard everyone has a "double" out there in the world, that is someone who looks just like them.  I couldn't help but notice that Jerry and Ben's double might be Sandy and Sebastain.  My roommates probably have doubles but I wanted to introduce my double instead of bore everyone with information about my roommates (although I am getting strange looks as I dictate this post to my roommate right now....hmm)

It seems my double has a job in TV.  This shot is of him on Grey's Anatomy a show I really need to start watching more of.....

This shot is from Castle (apparently Foxes do more work for shows on ABC than other networks).  Here Drunk Foxes double and my double are hanging out on set with a bunch of other stuffies.  I know it's not the most flattering picture of Drunk Fox and I but I hear that is how showbiz sometimes goes.

Do you think that we need an agent?

Thanks Beanie!

Thanks for the bus!  I hope I get a chance to see London for myself!

Garden tour.....

I put a sign up at the mailbox offering behind the scenes garden tours today at noon. I had no takers, hard to imagine but it is there lost. I decided to take a walk and visit the garden myself.  What do we have hear? Looks like the trees are growing well. This one is my plum tree. 

Next stop, the wildflower seeds. We planted these seeds about a month ago. I am hoping for abundant wildflowers, right now they look like weeds. 

Time to visit the tomatoes. They look good, I can't wait for them to be ready to eat. Should I have a basil, tomato, mozzarella salad or a BLT?  Why not both.  Hmmm, I need to get some basil ASAP. 

This one could use some help. It's a green zebra tomato. I really like the name I better supervise my roommates watering schedule to make sure this one gets healthier soon. I lost two tomatoes on my watch last year, it was a sad day to be a garden supervisor. 

Final stop on my garden tour, the roses. I don't know how they do so well. I never have my roommates water them, they only clip them back in March. I guess it's a mystery to be solved another day.
