The Week of Arthur

A week I thought would become a week of critters and birds

but Arthur changed all that.

Every three months I start a new scroll of fabric

so Canada day always means a new beginning.

The loons were surprisingly vocal

on our Tuesday morning walk

and then we spied an eagle overhead.

There must have been babes

perhaps riding on mother loon's back.

On Wednesday the RP's chased a raccoon up a tree.

Raccoon then tried to make like a tree

hoping we would go.

At low tide we get to watch shoreline birds looking for breakfast.

Today we spied a seagull with the biggest

wriggling shrimp.

Quite a feast. 

On Friday we were told to expect Thunderstorms

but none came.

Of course we started to think that

perhaps Hurricane Arthur might not be so bad.

We were wrong!

Saturday was our anniversary...

...we had plans.

But Arthur swept in

cut off electricity over a huge area

We lost a big healthy tree

and I did something to my back.

Oh, yes and we had a bag of potato chips for our

anniversary meal!

Still no power.

I walked the dike

and was tickled pink to see a tiny green tomato

sitting there on top of the dike.

So green tomatoes do travel!

I will post last week's scratchings tomorrow.
