When you come to Pinecone Park, you turn off North Road, the main road of the island, onto Buttercup/ As you come along Buttercup, you drive between two properties that were once functioning farms but now both properties are just large fields and Daisies are everywhere. It's such a lovely entrance to our neighbourhood.
Wednesday began with a walk with our friends. Every day, my foot is a little less painful, so the enjoyment factor of my trail walks with Her Highness is higher every day. It was bright and sunny and windy! It was too windy to stain the deck, as was my plan. Growth caps would have stuck to the stain. Instead, I weed whacked the entire backyard.
When we got back from the walk, it wasn’t long before we had lunch and then I gave myself a treat: I had a chilling session on the recliner in sunshine before I got busy with the weed whacker. Yesterday was another brilliant day, but it wasn’t hot. It was an ideal weather for doing yard work.
There’s been no sign of the bat. It concerns and confuses me that I’ve neither seen it nor helped it find a way out of the house. I doubt the cats could catch it, but maybe it found a way out. Regardless, I carry on. Bats neither frighten nor disturb me.
Today, I shall be busy in the yard until 14:00 when I Zoom with Aidan. Then, after the call, I am going to the library for a meet and greet with Dr. Tam, a veterinarian who is considering establishing a practice here on Gabriola. I hope a big turnout convinces him to come and live here.
