back in july lisa came to welland for a weekend visit.
we had a few things in mind that we wanted to do, but first, as with most visitors to niagara, I took her to the butterfly conservatory to see some butterflies…

wednesday.
.
last week involved a LOT of travel.
I started out from welland.
headed to kingston to drop off tashie.
then to montreal to visit philip.
then to ottawa to visit heather.
then to kemptville for the week for a course.
then back to ottawa to see heather and pascale et michel.
then back to montreal to enjoy my birthday long weekend.
then kingston to visit mom and dad and pick up the doggie.
and back to welland.
.
along the way, over the course of two weeks, I got to see some pretty beautiful skies. and now that I download them, I notice are all also very similar. must be this time of year…

monday.
.
last month the ham fam descended in ktown, and dana, ashley and philip joined us for the may long weekend.
on sunday we decided to take a little day trip into prince edward county.
so we drove out to the ferry…

tuesday.
.
so I know you’ve been waiting to see our fun photos from punta cana, and I’ve been working on editing these and getting them uploaded for the last couple of weeks – but now they’re ready to roll!
since there are a million and two photos to get through, I’ll zip it and just let you peruse…

saturday.
.
well, when I returned home on monday evening, I first had to make an immediate detour to deanna’s house in order to make it there by my instructed time – 8pm. that being the time that the premiere of the bachelor starts. save me. so when I actually arrived at my house at 10:30, I had to dig my way into the driveway and up the stairs to the house. and unfortunately this thing we call winter just keeps dumping snow on me. don’t get me wrong, I love playing in it, I just hate the shoveling part – or rather, my poor back does. ouch!
so here are some wintery (and not so wintery) photos for you to enjoy.
here is the backyard, as it looked about 10 minutes ago…
