Summerfun

 Last week we had the whole family here, including Miriyan. Here she is having a pool party with her chum Theo.








Hague Lake is wonderful for kayaking and swimming. Warm water and wonderful scenery. This was our chosen swim spot today.








These bluffs are a favourite diving spot for young folk. They are just one of many amazing and beautiful rock bluffs on this island. I am thinking of putting together a photo exhibit called "Beauty In The Bluff". What do you think?

A moving experience

 When I was a kid in England I used to marvel at how the local fishermen could move big heavy boats using levers. Some of that came back to me today as I moved our BIG cedar slab table from the trailer site to the house.








With the help of a come-along, ropes, ratchet tie down straps, my pick-up truck and a bit of sweat labour it all came together quite smoothly. (I drove verrry sloowwly).








Taking the weight off right in front of the house, this lovely lady begged to have her photo taken:)

 Summer is here! The patio is ready to use. Once again the old cable reel makes a great table, even supports the sun umbrella.










 ... and the ladies go into zero gravity zone for a chat.

Splitting a large round of douglas fir using the pneumatic manual splitter. It can produce 10 tons of force! The woodshed is now pretty full -- enough for next winter anyway.
