Lightning

Sunday evening it was muggy
Lots of moisture in the air

The sky is getting darker

Lightning

Zooming in

Later it was more sheet lightning

Case / JD

At the quilt show there was a Case Tractor Quilt

It's very easy to find John Deere material

But Case is much harder to find
It would be nice for Marc's room

Quilt show

I went to Rosemary's show

There were lots of people
even a bus from Montreal

This quilt has about 9 colour families in it
a family is: a leaf, a plaid, a light a middle and a dark

This is made from upholstery and light curtain material
The black was a white / black curtain
She cut away the white

Japanese Dolls

Waiting for the Sun

The first cut needs some sunshine
I was reading in Job this morning:

He speaks to the sun and it does not shine;
He seals of the light of the stars

Still Damp

The Bees are flying

Hopefully we'll get some strawberries

After the Rain

Pretty water droplets

Lots of Snails

Everything is green

Between the showers

Quickly mow the lawn

Fill up the spreader with liquid fertilizer & spray

No use to wait for the garden to dry

Then we wouldn't plant at all

The lawn is cut

and the field is sprayed just before it starts to rain seriously
we are blessed

Track & Field

For the first time Shot-Put
There was a cold wind

High Jump

Tyler has a different style

The only track race, later in the afternoon.
The grass was starting to dry

They sure tried their best

Blossom

Cherry Blossom

so pretty

A nest in the plum tree

The trees are zooming with bees

Hummingbirds

These little birds are not afraid

I was just standing in the door making these pictures

A good look at their Ruby-Throat

what a beautiful bird

A day of sun shine

BBQ weather

and a few hours later almost rain

Feeder visitors

Unfortunately a squirrel

but also some red & gold finches

Grosbeak

doves

chipping and other sparrows

The oriole is also back

a picture of the Lord as protector in Ps 91:

He will cover you with his feathers
and under his wings you will find refuge

Soccer

U14

There are 2 teams for Marc's age this year

That's fun for the kids
they play more
but we miss the other parents

This Ref was good
He explained a lot and everyone appreciated that
