Love at First Sight has 18 blossoms on it today!

It seems like the late poppies are the best!

Gladiola season is in full swing, with several new colours opening.

I really like this two-toned pink!

How about yellow and peach.

A bright orange and another peach.

The mauve is almost finished.

And the dark purple has blossoms right to the top too.

Here's a closer look at that peach with a yellow throat.

Up close to the red one too!

Not a flower.

Sheila's uncle, Ron Keay, made the cabin for us in the 1980's. It's roof was shingles from his chicken house, and the "logs" were willow from his farm. It has moved with us from Prince George, to Kelowna, to Courtenay and now lives under the rhododendron by our front door.

The squirrel was painted by Dan when he was a little guy.
