This week's sky contrast was from colourful artistry of sunrise to the dark start of an eventual record windstorm. (More about the sky further down...)
Special delivery! First time ever a Canada Post van has dared to drive up our slope. Turns out it's our new carrier Moira and she had no idea of the climb so did it anyway. Special package for a special lady's special day.
First drywall repair in many years. Longstanding water damage finally got to the houseboy. All the old tools came out and all the old technique remembered. Here's mud in your eye!
Nearby a different kind of dry-wall technique is happening. An historic native rockwall and amphitheatre is being rebuilt with masterful stone work using NO mortar or filler ---- it's truly dry wall. Impressive fit and finish as young guys learn the trade from a surviving master mason.
Inspiring, but the in-house guy still uses mud, sanding, and repetition.
This week's newbies in the gardens include paper-thin orange poppies, be-still-my-bleeding-hearts, rare native purple honeysuckle, and yellow Lady Slippers appearing in thick undergrowth. Perfect fit for a tiny Cinderella?
After that storm mentioned above, out came a classic rainbow, doubling up if you look closely. Happy Pride Month! And then this morning the air was so clean my little point-and-shoot camera got up close with craters on the moon. Celestial sights to lift the spirits these days!

Nikki is very jealous of your Lady Slippers! :) xoxo
