From Junuary to Japril

We're having a cooler and wetter summer than usual so far. 1or 2 days a week we'll get a glimpse of more typical weather, and I am definitely grateful for those; they have been spectacular.

One year ago today this sweet boy joined our family.

The grass is growing like crazy (more mowing than usual), and the veggie garden seems pretty happy too. We have been eating squash for a while now. We have also gotten some beets, strawberries, peas, chard, mustard, lettuce, garlic scapes, and a single artichoke. The potatoes are chest high at this point. For such a small garden it feels pretty prolific.

We've been taking lunch to Mum and Lloyd in Shawnigan about once a week. Hopefully helps to break up the isolation a little bit for everyone.

We've been laying low and attending church with Mom via Zoom. Apparently, our ward will begin having in person meetings soon, but Ron and I will stay on our little island. BC has been very fortunate with proactive leadership and haven't gotten the full brunt of this virus. That said, it's still a threat and we will be very conservative in our choices.
