Pancake thought it very nice of us to cook ribs for supper. She’s even sitting very nicely waiting for them.

To keep the dog active and keep Colin outside on a lovely, but cold, day we connected a squirrel toy to the fishing rod and cast it for Pancake to chase.

It was fun for everyone until the dog chewed the fishing line. Dog wins this round.

I braved a solo boat trip before the weather got cold this week. I remembered to take my good camera with me and snapped a few photos of birds. Female Belted Kingfisher, Male and Female Bluebirds, and a Goldeneye. There were also a bunch of pelican hanging out with the cormorants on the bank.

Kids got to the little books store to browse and pick up new books.

I took the new canoe out with a friend this morning. It was 2-5C and a very light breeze. A beautiful day to explore some areas that are quiet.

It’s a fine day for puzzling.

These vultures seem to be asking that as they bask in the sun right outside my office. iPhone photo with very little zoom – they were about 3 feet away from me.

I made a lemon cheesecake to celebrate a colleague’s birthday. I was particularly pleased with how the candied peel turned out.

I’m trying to be better about posting, but am not so good at remembering to take photos. I do take a selfie for every run or bike ride, though, so here I am after riding 11 km last night.
