Summer Solstice

The first day of summer here in Bellingham was thankfully a absolutely beautiful one. Sunny the whole entire day. I worked from 10 to 2 and came home and worked in the yard from around 4 to 8:30 minus dinner & the news at 6.

I met my new neighbor who bought Dave Sr.'s house next door. The house had been empty since 2006 when Dave passed away. I was not happy with his dog running around loose; the 1st night they were there his dog Bear charged at a squirrel in my yard. All I could imagine is him doing the same to my cats.

The new owner is Taggart and he seems nice so I tried to nicely voice my concerns and he was responsive,  so I hope it's all good. It was actually kind of funny because his dog kept coming over to check out the cats and they were all staring at him, but standing their ground.

I think the dog actually wants to play, and he didn't bark at them, that's a start. I've been thinking it would be good for them to learn to get along with a dog,  maybe this will be the opportunity by default.

I pruned a bunch more out of the apple trees,  but I still have so much more I need to do. I'm really worn out tonight. I came in and poured a glass of mango orange juice and sat down in the living room. I looked over at it and it looked like it was glowing. The sun was reflecting off of something and lit it up, it was cool.

I'm going to watch the Winnipeg Comedy Fest on CBC and relax a bit, then hit the showers and flop into bed!

This 'n That

He's Calling The Loch Ness Monster's Pager

Today turned out beautiful and sunny, it's supposed to be like this all week through Saturday.

Tonight is the last episode of "Last Tango in Halifax" on PBS. I've really enjoyed it, but haven't found a single other person who has been watching it to swap stories with.

I'm excited, I was researching a little, and there will be a new season of "Doc Martin". It looks like it already aired in the U.K. so who knows how long it will take to reach us on this side of the pond.

A new season of "Republic of Doyle" started two weeks ago on CBC, so I'm happy. For the most part I only watch TV when there is something on I specifically want to watch, and I'm trying to be productive in the evenings, but it is harder for me when it's pitch black by 7 pm. I'm close to finishing the dress I started sewing a month ago, and not sure what I will work on next, but I want to keep the momentum going.....

Post New Years

I'm glad this past week at work was a short one, because I have not been very successful at going to bed early, and was still staying up until midnight and even 1 am after having the last two weeks off.
I am looking forward to the new season of Republic of Doyle on CBC tonight, but am still bummed that they switched it to Sunday's from Wednesday, and now I have to postpone seeing Downton Abbey on PBS.

The cat's have really enjoyed the catnip mice I got from my Secret Pal at work, Eliza. I uploaded a very short video of Munchkin to my YouTube account, and hope to get one of Tom Cat loaded as well.

Steve Patterson Halifax Comedy Festival

This is my favorite comedy bit from Steve, this is hilarious, and he is so on with this audience!

John Pinette - Just for Laughs

In one of my visits to Dad & Susan in Detroit he turned me on to the comedy shows on CBC, and now I love the Winnepeg & Halifax Comedy Fest, as well as Just for Laughs.
I originally saw this on CBC, and it is hilarious and no foul language!
