Cottage Weekend

I was privileged to stay at the Lishman’s cottage at Southampton this past weekend. Though I had a migraine the whole time it was mostly controlled by drugs and I had a good time!

Sister Cheryl and her little companion Maggie joined me Friday night and Saturday. I had to drive to Bloomingdale for church on Sunday as I was leading the service. After lunch I drove back to the cottage and stayed till Tuesday morning. Sister Martha dropped in for awhile on Momday afternoon. She snapped the photo of Billie and me.

I took a lot of pictures! Here are about a third of them

Great Blue Heron

This evening was beautiful so I decided to take Billie and my camera over to Shoemaker Pond. There I startled a Great Blue Heron. At first I couldn’t get close, but later, as it was busy looking for some supper I got some nice shots.

Dandelions and other sights

Dandelions are definitely not loved by most people. But David Suzuki and others encourage us to leave them grow as they are a good source of pollen for bees. I don’t mind so much when the field is a sea of yellow, but when those white heads appear, and I think of all the seeds that will be flying through the air, landing on the lawn, and the back-breaking work to dig them out, I feel less favourable towards them.

I so like a dandelion salad, but haven’t had one since Mom made one years ago. If you try a search there are all kinds of recipes online.

And some like dandelion wine, but I’m really not into that. Nor have I ever tried dandelion tea, though some claim health benefits.

I just spent some time sitting in the field, taking pictures.
