Life Without Shirley Ann
Yesterday we were pretty socked in here most of the day... but I did a little walk around and took a few current photos to share.
You can hardly see the huge "Tree House" tree in the centre of the photo... however the clouds lifted in the afternoon and I went for a long walk.
I spent most of Friday framing the dormer windows with wide cedar boards... which meant building a simple scaffold so I could work with ease that high up. Can't finish the siding without having these windows framed first.
This morning at 6 AM I was up and out putting another coat of white paint on the new frames I installed on Friday. As I was doing this I was thinking how much these window frames are like picture frames... with the most wonderful view in all the Gulf Islands!
By noon I expect to have theT & G cedar V-groove installed in the soffit over these windows.
The tiger lilies were a blaze of glory.
My favorite lily is this pure yellow one.
The California poppies.
If Shirley were here, I am sure she would have been picking some of these wonderful roses and put them on the table in a vase.
When she left this was a great bouquet on the dining room table... but this picture shows my life without Shirley Ann.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't mention that Shirley went this weekend to Kelowna to visit her mother and sister Roberta... and Sherilee and Seth area also in Kelowna... so there is a lot of parties and family time there.
ReplyDeleteShe will fly back to Victoria Monday and home on the 4 pm ferry.
I stayed back as we are just finishing the dry wall... and I am trying to finish some more siding and soffits.
Party? Us girls and Seth, party? We are just living out our natural happy existence...here to cheer up Mother and give her a little jolt. By the time we leave she is once more very thankful for her quiet life...and Bobbi too!
ReplyDeleteWe are having a great time and Bobbi is taking good care of us.
But I do miss you Sherwin and our life there with the squirrels and the raccoons!
See you very soon.
Forgot to tell you how much I love that south facing wall...looking so good.
