So this weekend has been a long weekend for us Canadian folks and today was Labor Day - the last day of summer and boy was it!! It absolutely peed it down today - it was grey, windy and rainy. Trousers had to be found and squeezed back into and boots dug out. I had forgotten how much work the winter can be with muddy paws and tiny footprints finding their way into the house and the woodstove needing to be stoked up soon. The only good thing abt the weather today was that my wee boy must have thought it was still night-time this morning because he slept in until 11:30 am (unheard of) and when he woke up and came downstairs the first thing he did was turn on the light in his playroom and say "It's still dark - is it night-time Mummy?"...honey I know what you mean. At the moment when the boy is asked how old he is he will reply "I'm a teenager"..I have no idea why he says this, but hey if it means we get more lie ins in the morning I'm all for it!
So the weekend has been a bit of a holiday for us here in the little blue house. We cosied up today - but yesterday was sunny and bright and we went for a little drive up Island to look at some new walks and lakes around Qualicum Beach - called Horne Lake and Spider Lake. They were both just beautiful - great for dog and boy and just made me yearn for that cheap, rustic cabin by the lake - that just doesn't exist - certainly not this side of Canada. Anyway I love getting away for a drive on the coast here - it really does awaken the senses and get me tingly abt possible new designs. I had to ask hubby to pull over when I saw this cool looking tractor by the side of one of the log roads. It is definitely going to be an inspiration for a farm themed flag me thinks - so watch this space.
