The end of June was very cold here.. everyone was wearing pants and sweaters, and it was nice weather for pie. Rhubarb custard pie, a legendary Claus family favourite. Here is Brian's creation. I am pretty proud that my husband can make a pie like this. It was delicious.. and the rhubarb was from our garden which made it even better.
Morning calculations on the couch.
All of a sudden, it got warm and summer was actually here.
We never taught Bronwen how to dip chips in dip... but here she is, demonstrating this intuitive skill perfectly on the first try.
Just to show I can be grumpy too...
We went down to Middle Cove beach because we heard that the capelin were rolling. Capelin are small fish that Newfoundlanders like to eat.. sort of like sardines. Around this time of year, if you time it right you can be on the beach when they are rolling- basically coming onto the shore in piles with every wave. People like to catch them in buckets and eat them in various forms. There weren't very many (live) capelin.. but we still had fun.
Some hopefuls waiting for the fish.
Bronwen making friends.. trading feathers and rocks.
On Saturday we went to the beach- it was a really hot day. We went to Sunshine Beach on Healey's Pond.. a small lake about 10 km from our house. It's a beautiful spot to swim and the water is clear, cold and so refreshing. I swam up and down the buoy line for a bit and it was so nice to feel weightless! Bronwen didn't love the water, it was a little cold for her. But she had a lot of fun investigating all the beach happenings.
35 weeks.. only approximately 34 days to go! Time flies.
My first cherry tomato. I was pretty excited to see this little guy.
Tomato plants all in a row on the back porch.. the stakes are a little droopy because we got some wind.
Bronwen in her new outfit from Grandma B.
She can get up on the chairs by herself now.. just likes to have a sit.
Parting shot.. self-inflicted pig nose. Haha.
