PRIDE

Yesterday, I was one of the marshals at Kingston Pride Parade.  It was a great day.  I took up the end behind the police car to be sure that everyone got through the intersections before the cars could continue on with their day.

I have posted here to show you a little bit of PRIDE of my own.

Just so you know this is a Steam Whistle (beer) who were there and who were also sponsors.  I love that beer!

Tiny Open House

Tiny House Ontario had a few friends over the other night.  I took some photos of my friends, some are more camera shy than others and some are more photogenic than others.  Please note that I am not in the photos… LOL!  The line has to be drawn somewhere!

There were 12 people at the get together but it was a little bit staggered  – 6 people were no-shows, but it is PRIDE weekend in Kingston and I know that a few people got busy with this event, and another just plain forgot the date and showed up a day late with his guitar.  With the number of people we had, it did not feel crowded to me, but of course I live in a Tiny House, and I am not sure how my guests felt about it.

It was wonderful to have children there!  The dogs also settled in and were happy to have company to pet them and also to give them junk food.

Pecker

I guess I missed some activity in the ant tree when I was away from Tiny House Ontario.

I hope that the woodpecker had a good feed of ants.

I thought it would be nice to have a little open house, and thus there were 12 people last night at Tiny House Ontario.

I was going to tell you all about it and share photos, but forgot the little contraption that allows me to download from my camera to my computer, so this will have to wait for tomorrow.

I wish I would have been home to see the woodpecker slurping up the ants.  Sigh…

Please Release Me!

The dogs are not convinced that there is a fenced area for their own protection.

Poor little things!

Forest Food

After a few days away, I arrived at about midnight back at Tiny House Ontario.  The thing that I was most curious about is my little garden in the forest clearing.  Was it actually growing and not being eaten by the forest creatures while it sat there unattended to?  I took the LED flashlight that my Aunt Marion and Uncle Mac gifted me and went out to have a look.  I could see that there was green and that the green seemed to be in rows, but could not tell for sure if there was anything really coming up that well, what had taken root, and if the plants seemed healthy.

This morning I got out of bed and practically ran out to see what the garden was up to.

I am pleasantly surprised!  I have a few weeds to yank up, and I have to put up stakes for the pole beans but so far it looks like I might be able to do that 0 mile diet this summer!  Woot!
