A lazy Friday

Two more guests arrived yesterday so we have a full house for three nights before they head south to an Eco-Reserve site where they will be "roughing it" for one week in a palapa...no doors, windows or hot water! Should be a challenging experience for them.

We decided to have a laid back day today...no trip into PV...just whale watching, reading and writing. The other guests are in charge of dinner prep (I cooked last night) so we will just laze around the property in various locations until the cocktail hour.

Due to a snowfall in the Vancouver area I have had requests for sunny photos!! Not sure whether that makes you feel happier to know that we are here and you are not...but...!

This is where we love to sit in the mornings

and in the cocktail hour!

It is a resting spot for birds of every size and colour.

Our home in Mismaloya

We are looking out at the sea this morning, listening to the waves and to the many varieties of birds that flit from tree to tree. Our home for the next two months is beyond amazing.

A trip to Granville Island

In an effort to rejuvenate my patient we took the False Creek ferry over to Granville Island this morning. It is very therapeutic to sit with a hot tea & coffee while watching the boats and gulls going about their daily routines. My patient is very impatient with his recovery so it was necessary to remind him of the assault on his body over the past few weeks. I encouraged him to take a few deep breaths and enjoy the moment.

We wandered through the market, inhaling aromas and enjoying the brilliant colours on display.

Who knew that there were so many different olives!

Tulips always make me smile with their promise of springtime around the corner.

Enjoy a Bread Affair with your organic baker!!

And then there was the love of my life...always posing for the camera!
