Weekend driving = 3 Herons + 2 White Egrets

We love picnicing and driving on our weekend outings. Off to Southampton on Lake Huron we went on Sunday... what a day for a drive... the weather was fab and the picnic lunch spot was wonderful as usual... It's tucked away on the shores, near the harbour... hedge rows around, tables,  shade and of course Jim's great picnic lunch... two veggie salads, a little fresh gluten free bread, cheese (sharp old cheddar:)), two cans of ginger ale, a little Sleeman's for added nutrition... and a wonderful cake slice from the European bakery in Owen Sound... oh, and the healthy bean chips with dip... all that in our trusty picnic basket... We drove around marvelling at the beautiful old homes - I imagining we owned one.. and at days end back home... and along the way the herons and egrets were hanging in the small roadside ponds enjoying the fishing... 
Have a look at our hard work sprouting...

Soon to be potato salad
The bird activity at our feeders was just amazing... cardinals, blue jays, downy woodpeckers, ladderback woodpeckers, chicadees, gold finches, cow birds, hummingbirds, orioles, yellow bellied sap sucker, nuthatch, sparrows, doves,

The red squirrels, black squirrels, Alvin(s) the chipmunk, Jolsen(s) the black chipmonk, grey squirrel,  Canada Geese by the flock flew overhead to the shores of the bay...
We relaxed and enjoyed our back yard...

Hope you had a wonderful weekend too... I even managed to make a few washcloths, start a new lace scarf and review my yarn stash...
