We woke up this spring morning earlier than our typical Saturday mornings. To our delight two large black bears were transiting our property. They never did come completely out of the brush for us to get a few pictures. We’re still hopeful one day soon we can capture a picture to post on our blog site. After a quick shower and breakfast we headed out the door for our trip north of town to help a friend with moving a freezer. Waiting for us in the driveway was the Hillside Gang looking forward to their usual treat. It was a beautiful spring morning drive as we headed north of town.
After arriving at our friends place we off-loaded the freezer and strapped it to a dolly for the long trek to her house. As you can tell by the photos the path to the house along the beach was overgrown with brush and a bit rocky. All three of us then wrestled the freezer down a few rocks to the creek bank. Then we carried it across the slippery rocks to the opposite side of the creek and finally up to its resting place on the porch.
Having built up a thirst the three of us headed into the house for a drink and conversation. During this time one of the two pet cats she owns kept us all company, his name is Grover. He is an older cat who loves to be held and hangs around for an occasional scratch behind the ears. As he was trying to get my attention I snap a picture of him. Also took a few photos of some antique bottles sitting on a window ledge recovered from a wreck dive as the light shone through them. Quite a beautiful day.
Once we finished our drinks our friend asked us to hold a ladder while she took some time to clean out the gutters. The gutters were full of leaves which were preventing the water tank from being filled up on a regular basis between rain storms. After a few minutes of raking out the leaves the water started flowing again to her water tank.
We ended up heading back to town afterwards, but along the way we stopped at North Shore Gardens to pick up some flowers and some food for my bird feeders. We then stopped at a the market to pcik up a few items for lunch and dinner. Once we got back to the cabin we both worked on a few projects around the house. Pat worked on potting her plants and baking a few pies for church. I worked on the pressure washer and hung up feeder for the squirrels. Then I spent about a hour or so working a pastel painting. All in all it was a very relaxing day.
