No Spring Here in Ontario

April 20 - May 21/2018   Weather is cold...... Not frigid but just cold high 40's and 50's constantly.  Frosty mornings.  
site #1 at Farm campground :) 
The Weatherman says we are not having spring -  it is winter and then it will be summer!  Nevertheless;  we are camping at Lake Erie, near Blenheim.   A few years ago Billy put in a 50amp service at the shed at Mom's farm and it will be our "go to" site this spring/summer season in Canada.
Orioles
The Orioles and Hummingbirds are our new best friends.  We found a couple old feeders in the house and made the sugar potion and look who can't get enough!  Every day the two feeders are empty by morning.  Greedy greedy.  We wonder if they are so hungry because of the late spring?  Orioles usually get much of their nectar in the orchards nearby - apples, pears, peaches, and cherries.  With the blooms not out this spring we are doing our part to keep them fed.  
Hummingbirds
Billy thought since I am possessed with my quilting we should get a barn quilt for the peak of the shed.  He took me to Ilderton to a lady who makes them.  It was so hard to choose a design -  the shed was Dad's, the flowers on the barn quilt are for Mom and the quilting is my gig. 
Once we get caught up with all our chores and appointments we will take off for a week to keep our coach exercised.  It's good to keep the wheels turning.

On the Farm

April 15/2016  weather is just as forecasted - warm....yeah!

Might be the nicest days we have ever had yet coming back in the Spring.  We have pulled into the farm, so the nightly rate is very inexpensive.  Thanks to Mom. Last year we had 50 amp outlet added to the shed and it works!!!   Our view of the farm is quite nice.  
Back in site, 50 amp, water, no sewer, no cable, no garbage pickup

It is so convenient being right here on Moms farm for a couple weeks.  We can take her to appointments and in between help her get the yard spring cleaning finished.  It's a big yard.   Moms cat seems to have had an easy winter and she has put a few pounds on!  There she is holding the wall up. Ha ha.
