Seeking shade at the mouse-house.

 The weather has been so nice that it's hard to stay inside for a minute.

But the heat does get to you so I find myself taking little breaks throughout the day from gardening, weeding and clearing new areas that I have plans for. We also added soaker hoses to the garden as there has been no rain for days.
I added a little table and chairs right behind the perennials in amongst the sumac trees today. It's shady there and shady spots are needed on this property. It has a view of the gardens and many of the bird feeders.

Red's wondering what we are doing so close to his favorite hang-out.
"Carry on, Red."



I'm also tidying up a spot at the end of the path where the little woodlot is. There's many things I can do with that area so I have some thinking to do. 

The first of many from our garden, I'm sure.
 I see zucchini bread in the oven soon.
My tomato plants are loaded with tiny tomatoes. :)

We started the day with tea, toast and scones at Miller's Oven in the town of Manotick. Always delicious.
"What's high-tea?", he asked.  He's getting into this.  lol

 I sent him here...http://coffeetea.about.com/od/historyculture/a/High-Tea-Vs-Afternoon-Tea.htm
 
And at home, the squirrels, chipmunks & birds have arrived for breakfast.
Someone won't be moving from her spot for awhile.




Some say cats are all alike. Au contraire! They are all individuals and very unique. I say to them, "You don't know cats."
