Interesting enough it's also garbage day in the neighbour hood so I could just come out with garbage. Oh how do you like my neighbour with the u! I've gone all in the last week, next thing you know you'll see this place plastered in the colour red or Zeds being inserted wherever.
So I was over at Menopausal New Mom's and mentioned in the comment section I've got a Burning Bush. Now of course that comment had to come with a "do not enter Gutterville" but I know that Julie over at Momspective will be running for Mayor of Gutterville in a heartbeat after reading that one. It's all good because really it's Randomly Awesome.
Back to my Bush, it is in fact a tree that came with my house, it's a bush, and called a Burning Bush because it turns RED in the late summer early fall. It's beautiful when it happens buttttttt lately? the top end of it is all sticks and branches and no leaves. Anyone know anythign about this? I know I could go all great googly moogly on this one but then I couldn't post about my burning Bush as "dared" by Meno!
Critter Count of the week, no Bear! YAY! no Bear in my woods, in my bushes or in my yard. i'm still walking 4-5days a week and fitting some wiifit in there to work on the muscles walking forgets.We did see A chipmunk take off infront of my path while walking lastnight and some frogs singing in a pond. WOW they can really sing. Not that baby cheep cheep cheep frog sound but the twang of a mouth harp sound.
MJ's tomato Plant is doing wonderful, I was just coming in to take a picture when I started typing away at random. (just plugged in the card reader, and it fell apart in two, this may call for another picture, or a Jury Rigged Altoid box)
Yesterday we went to the Dentist I know it was Monday but the boys all had appointments. You all ahve to remind me MOndays? are not for dentists, and neither are mornings. In an effort to distract the children from their frozen gums and cheeks we ended up shopping. I swear I spend 60.00 on little bits of stuff, but the real winner of the day? We went to Michael's and found Wooden puzzles. They all picked one and 2/3 are completed this morning while mommy slept a bit longer. WOW! It really does show you how your kids brains think.
TJ's? not finished, he's the it can wait brain or oh look shiny? (I'm sure of it)
AJ's? Completed all but the top part by supper time. He sat in his room, and read the instructions 3 times, and pulled it apart and started again and after many words I'd rather not hear him say? he finished it. He? DETERMINED.
MJ? it may have been a bit over his head. TJ went in to help but that resulted in a bit of a "who is right, and who is wrong" discussion. MJ finally walked away, but had all the parts laid out. This morning? AJ went in and more words I'd rather not hear and frustrated tones but he completed MJ's with him too! helpfully.
uploading card... I got it back together... waiting waiting... waiting... Darn waiting...
I've started planning my attack on the trip to the island. I've got a to do list for the honey. hehe HoneyDo? for while I'm gone at first and then I've got my list of "must haves" to go with me. I will be purchasing the Captain before I leave and bringing him with me so this year, I'll get my Drink on the deck after the 3j's are asleep. (I know they wont sleep. I know this! too excited)
We are also going to a Baptism that Weekend. YAY! I'm excited about that one, and will get to squish and squeeze my new Nephew.Hes only 3.5months old now! and I haven't met him yet.
OK I think the pics are on... (no it didn't really take that long, I got awesomely randomly side tracked... oh shiny!)
Our 100% Canadian having fun downtown.This is the only thing he wanted to do when he "went to Canada"
June30th convo with MJ, "tomorrow is Canada Day" said mom.
"Can we go to Canada?" Said MJ...
"we are in Canada" said mom, "oh ok, can we go to Canada and bounce on the bouncy house?" so 15.00 later for a day of bouncing in 6 different bouncy houses he's one Happy Canadian.
also something different we saw on Canada Day... This is part of a musical Show that will be playing in town here at the Town house.
Also that light house behind it? That's where my profile pic was taken 3yrs ago. on top. I hate heights but I did it.

WE confirmed this weekend that bears do indeed poop in the woods as one has pooped on the trail we were hiking. Kinda scary when you really think about it. Glad you have not seen the bear in your neighborhood recently.
HaHa! Loved this post!! Can't wait to read the comments on how to fix your burning bush Lol! Well done!
And hey, isn't that a bricklin? I thought those were extinct!
I have to post anonymously, since I can't remember my password, but you know who I am!
Put me on your list of Island must haves PLEASE!!!! I want to go home too!
Nothing says Canada like a bouncy house!!! And an orange car!!
And congrats on the proper spelling of neighbour! Now if we can just get zee out of your vocabulary!!!
Your tomato plant looks great- glad the card worked. Bears! Such a pain. Hope it's gone for good or at least the rest of the summer.
yay for no more bears. i bet Grayson would LOVE bouncy houses. And that's so funny about the way your kids brains think
I have that same bush too. Mine started to turn red my husband said it needs to be watered. So I am watering the bush.. Have a great day.
I have a burning bush too and it's my favorite because of the color!
You went up in the lighthouse for your blog? Now that's dedication!
I swear, you guys rival us in the dentist visits department.
Cool car, ist hat yours? Ha.
Woman, you know me all too well. When I'm finished returning comments, I'm checking that out!!!
my bush now has Asian beetles getting it.. I am so sad.. I hope my bush lives..
I think the Beetles are good for the bush as they eat the bugs that eat the bush...
Love your random! Oh and thank goodness there have not been any bears! eeek!
Where I come from, a burning bush was what spoke to Moses on Mt. Sinai. It's now a tree sculpture on my parents' entry wall. I call it the burning bush since it's made of metal and when the sun hits it the right way, burn baby, burn!
LOVE the bouncing house! I am glad to hear no more bears, I was worried for you!
well I haven't seen any, but I was still dancing and singing in the back yard last night just in case while trying to blow up a Pool and slide for the kids. I went to the garage this morning to get it and the side has a hole. :( I may have to buy a new one. bummer! But the bear didn't eat me. :)
I am also relieved to learn that the bear terror hasn't made an appearance, phew. You can walk in peace, yay.
The burning bush sounds lovely actually. Too bad about the beetles. We have a couple of snow bushes out front and two out of three were devoured by caterpillars over the course of just a couple of days. I expect we'll be replacing them soon.
Hope you're having a fantastic summer.
