Soaking Up the Sun
This was the temperature here the past couple of days:

Next week, the prediction is even HOTTER! Is this May or July? :)
Still, we have no complaints. This long weekend the whole island of Île-Perrot is hosting a community yard sale: that’s 4 different towns! Our road was relatively quiet but we decided to put out a few things Saturday and today. We sold a few larger objects we wanted to get rid of so I am happy! Plus we received a bottle of Spanish wine from one of our neighbors as a thank you for giving him an old lawn mower!
We took advantage of the festive atmosphere to soak up some rays and get to know our neighbors. Summer here reminds us just why we moved here – esp. after cold, harsh winters (compared to normal Halifax winters!).
The girls must have gotten a lot of fresh air today -they both went to bed early, quickly & with no complaint!
Happy to say we have not turned on the central air as of yet. But with predicted temps of 32 for Monday/Tuesday (and it always seems to be a few degrees hotter here) we may have to admit defeat very soon.
