Thank you for the sunshine

On a sodden September day, it seems fitting to give thanks for a glorious summer 2009.  We were treated to weeks of wall to wall sunshine in North Vancouver, where we bought our first Canadian home in July.  A trip to the Rockies just a week after moving in delivered some much needed family time with some spectacular backdrops and exciting glimpses of animals in the wild.  We got down and dirty (especially Boo) in our new garden with weeks of digging, weeding, chopping and cutting back.  Dadda's Boo's family visited in August to muck in and hang out.  There were picnics, beach trips, bbqs, walks and fingers and toes crossed in the hope of avoiding bumping into the cougars recently sighted wandering through our neighbourhood.  I took up residence in my palatial new studio, and put in some time on my book, with the promise to myself that I will redecorate and furnish the room just so when I have completed the final artworks (shouldnt be long now...) and I finally took some driving lessons.

Thank you!
