A Canada Day teddy bear picnic on the roof garden was planned. That had to be changed to an indoor picnic as the ground out on the roof garden is so damp from all the rain we’ve had over the past couple of days! So Harry and Holly and the quintuplets decided to have a couch picnic. Out came a little quilt and their Canadian flags and they were ready to have a great time!
And what did they have on their picnic? Well, rather than honey they decided that, in honour of Canada Day, they would have something more traditionally Canadian so out came the jug of pure maple syrup.
As they were enjoying their picnic, who should come along but a little beaver! The beaver is found on our nickels and became an official Canadian emblem by royal assent on March 24, 1975. Edited to add: to read more about Canada, today’s entry at Yarn Harlot has some interesting quotes about Canada/Canadians.
A Lester shot from a couple of days ago, when the sun was out and he was happily dozing on the windowsill. This year we have some really pretty little finches flitting about in the trees. They are incredibly colourful. Lester seems to like them almost as much as we do!
Quilt Obsession 
What a lovely little indoor picnic! My teddy bears and their companions are *so* jealous! LOLOur biggest worry today is that the little baby swallows who have decided it's time to leave the nest over our door are going to be able to fly well enough. One little guy tried leaving a bit early – we "rescued" him and got him back to the nest – but he tried again yesterday. (Well, we think it's the same one.) He can now fly about 3-4 feet – so he is improving, but mom and dad are divebombing us every time we leave the house in their attempts to keep him safe.Happy Canada Day!

Yayy for Canada. The kitty pictures are so cute. This morning when I was getting ready for work the cats were strolling by my window and the window was open so I called to them. They stopped, saundered closer and looked up at me and looked around like they wondered how they could scale the wall. It was cute. Each of your latest 3 blocks are like jewels. Each one more lovely than the last. THe tweedy one is beautiful.
