Officially Now You Can Call Me An Islander

I am typing this blog post from hubby's iPad as that is the only Internet I have for a couple of days. I made it safely to the Island and the worst part of the trip was navigating traffic in Vancouver, go figure.

Life has been busy unpacking, changing addresses and buying groceries. I had a night visitor the first night which I was sure was an intruder (yes we have an alarm) but turned out to be the neighbors cat scratching at the patio door. I scared him more than he scared me, and the next morning he came stalking across the lawn but split the second the patio door was opened. I like cats and hope to make friends with him as hubby is allergic so we can't actually have one.

They call British Columbia lotus land for a reason - especially Vancouver Island. Flowers are in full bloom including my front flower bed and I saw a doe and baby deer yesterday fifty feet from where we pick up mail. There is a large amount of weeds in my flower bed too, but I have to figure out garbage and lawn recycling before I can get to that. For today the giant thistle lives.

Next project on the agenda is priming our bedroom so we can paint the pink out. I will have some fabulous photos soon, but for now our iPad 3G is not cooperatingso only words today.
