“I’m the boss because I’m naked”

Even better, it’s a series:

Man, he’s got being a 2 year old down pat!

Bus to camp – so exciting!

First trek into the woods – hats on for tick protection

Casting some animal tracks

I have no idea what they’re doing here.

They’re called high ropes for a reason!

Conspiring on their down time

Crafty crafty

Learning trail signs

Brr these girls are crazy!

Now that’s a fire!

Guide outfits from the 10s, 20s, 30s and 40s. Who would wear white to camp?

No, that’s not mist or haze, it’s fricken pollen! Achoo!

Losing it all over again

I know I haven’t been here for ages, and I’ve got a few things brewing, but in the meantime – I have been over at Losing it in Ottawa. I’ve finally decided that I need to start being accountable again, starting….now!

Wordless Wednesday – How does your garden grow?

I love Ottawa – Tulip Festival edition

neeroc — Tue, 14 May 2013 17:48:52 +0000

You know my tulip and gardening love is pretty serious when I pass up Comicon, the first Freemarket of the season, and the Carp Farmer’s Market opening weekend in order to go roam around Dow’s Lake. It was wonderfully worth it, and I think the rainy and cool weather will help preserve the blooms for another week too:

They’re peonies. No wait, they’re tulips:

Teaching tulip appreciation while she’s young:

I picked up a brochure from a BC bulb seller while I was there. I’m fairly sure I can get my front lawn looking like this by next spring:

Next weekend I’m going to head down to Marion Dewar square to grab some Perogies. I hear the vendors aren’t doing well this year being moved so far away (thanks NCC). I might check out some of the other beds too.

Have you been to the festival yet this year? Do you take part in any of the planned events? Have you shared your pics yet?

She’s a keeper

You guys! That daughter of mine knows just what to get me for Mother’s Day.

Did you see it? She told her teacher I was 33. Not a decrepit 43 year old, 33. I’m not sure who would buy it, but somebody said it and I’ll take it (grey hairs and all).

*Truth be told I can picture her sitting down to work on this sheet with her teacher, and the teacher deciding to err on the side of caution. I mean what 43 is way too old to have a 5 year old, right?

Do you think his boss knows?

It seems this Chris Hadfield guy will go to any length to slack off a bit at the office. Every time I turn around he’s on Twitter, or Skyping or jammin’ with some buds:

And then, even when a couple of his ISS co-habitants go for a walk, does he head out with them? No. He stays inside all nice and cozy.

Seems like all that lounging around managed to pay off though, it gave him time to re-write and record this little ditty:

That’s right, re-recording David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ from fricken space.

Safe return Cmdr. Hadfield, Thomas Marshburn and Roman Romanenko. Back to the office and gravity for you!
