I ran away to the woods to hang out with family last week, and besides the mosquitoes, and deer & horse flies it was very nice.
This is Ernest Grey {Ernie for short, of course}. He is a rescue from All Heart Pet Rescue in Powassan, where my Aunt got him last year. He is one of the coolest cats I have ever met and I was trying to plot with him on how I could sneak him home with me. I don't think he was too interested though...he has it awesome where he is. Besides, I don't think Ellios would appreciate it too much.
There are a lot of beautiful gardens in the area and I was smitten with one place in particular {a friend of my Aunt's, who is one of the Master Gardeners in the area}...












My Aunt's gardens are beautiful too, but I spent more time exploring the forest on her land and came across a few old faces ;)









{an old corn grinder?}
Not too far of a walk from my Aunt's there is an old logging shoot. A local told me that some folks go down it in rubber tubes. I don't know if he was pulling my leg or not, but I am pretty sure I wouldn't.




I will have garden updates and other stuff posted soon.
Sláinte!

Beautiful pictures! Glad you had a good time, and good to see you back.
ReplyDeleteI have a cat very like that - long-haired with the kind of mane, very regal looking. (Grumble wouldn't be caught dead chilling next to a dog, though).
Thanks Seren! Hehe, Grumble is such a cute name. :)
ReplyDeleteAll my favourite things: trees and flowers and cats! Looks like you had a great time there :)
ReplyDeleteI got massively bitten at the Agroforestry Research Trust at the weekend too - Jamie is always unaffected!!
It looks like you had an amazing time. Your photos are very beautiful.
