Sittin on the Lot on the Bay

     This weekend is Duck Hunting Season and I stayed away from my little lot on the Bay last week afraid of what I might face there.
I have to say, I've seen very few ducks there lately, so even though I was  trepidatious about going, I clung to this notion on the way down and how I'd enjoy nothing better than to watch the idiot neighbours sit behind their duck blind with absolutely no ducks to shoot. Well, actually, I thought it would be better if it rained too, but then that would spoil our time as well and so far it hasn't, nor have any ducks been shot.
This is my peaceful neighbour who likes to fish. We like him best.

These guys like to run into the water splashing around to find a stick I've tossed, which also serves as a warning to geese and ducks, Do NOT come around these parts, our neighbours may shoot you!





It's a little slice of heaven I tells ya
what?!?!? shoot? who's shooting whaaaaat?





NOM, NOM, NOM!

AIRSTREAM Safari SS interior tour


A couple weekends ago was the Girl Camp Canada Waupoos Round-up.  I had looked forward to going for months, gathered my wardrobe...bought this cool necklace: 

I shined my cowgirl boots (brown AND black) packed the pink ones from Vegas:
and glamped up my trailer a bit, (Well, OUR trailer and I even bought another trailer to leave behind for hubbie to live in since we were supposed to be moved out of our house for the big basement renovation by now, NOT, thank you permit department) And then, I couldn't go.  Life overwhelmed us and we got grounded in the City, but since I had glamped... and once we do move into the Heirs'Dream to do the reno, it's not going to be this tidy again for awhile so.....







We have her plugged in,  in my father's driveway at his Trailer Park right now.... his rosehips are magnificent in the Autumn light,

I think, and the orange/tangerine accents I have going on inside the trailer at the moment are totally working!

She is a Safari, so I can not resist any thing animal print, especially animal print and of the cougar persuasion!

      subjects!!!  







So, my kitchen is super messy, but see how your  eye just goes to the orange accents and it's all pleasant and good?
    And then, don't look at the sign in the cupboard too closely if you're easily offended by my purtydirty mouth, or my lack of staging, but what I like about my Airstream cupboard is the necessity nature of it....you got your mini-bar, your vintage canisters with coffee and tea, your vintage pyrex teapot with ISAGENIX(click here to read how fabulous THEY are!) protein shakes in it and garlic powder, honey and carnation evaporated milk (case you're boondockin' hard and serious and can't get to the half and half store!)


I really like our little retro jukebox radio, that we found in a thrift store on our trip through California. It plays cassette tapes which are the new 8track tape! and that crystal hanging from the light is my nod to a chandelier. :-)

And see, look! there's a dog there, under the dinette, just waiting to warm up my feet and support me with his love.
Truth be told, he's probably eyeballin' Hubby into makin' his dinner but I takes mah luv how I can git it
