BUBBLES, BUBBLES, EVERYWHERE!

I love blowing bubbles! I have loved it since I first learned to blow bubbles when I was a little girl.



I always have them in the house and whenever the mood takes me I start blowing them. The delight of seeing those rainbow filled orbs floating through the air just makes me smile and makes me very calm and kind of zen.



Although she is too young to actually blow the bubbles my little grandbaby loves to watch us do it and chase them. I cannot wait until she learns how to blow them herself, like me and her daddy they will bring her joy forever.



Everyone loves blowing bubbles.



They are ageless.



Blowing bubbles is a simple, enjoyable activity. It is the cheapest way to occupy a bunch of kids on a sunny afternoon. You can buy bubbles with wands and bubble refills at the dollar store.



When I gave a baby shower for my daughter-in-law I found these adorable bubbles at the dollar store. I handed them out at the party and all of the kids had a ball. I still have them and just refill them and sit and blow bubbles myself with Rufus and Daisy chasing them around the yard.



It seems like they are always coming out with different ways to make bubbles. I am a traditionalist, I do not like the bubble guns or the giant bubble makers. I found these last week in Walmart. Now to look at them you would think they would make a really big bubble. To my surprise you just drag the wand through the air and it makes lots of different sized bubbles. The colours of the containers were so pretty too.



Why not have a Bubble Party. If you have a lot of kids coming over get together a bunch of bubbles and have a ball. You can buy the solution or make your own.



Simple dish soap does the trick or for big bubbles try this recipe.











Bubbles, watermelon and some icy treats and you have yourself an afternoon of giggles and happiness. Kids and adults will be asking you when they can do it again.



So this summer, embrace your inner child. Pick up the wand and watch the world go by through the magic of a beautiful, rainbow filled bubble.

FARM LIVIN" IS THE LIFE FOR ME!

I wake up every morning to the sounds of the birds singing and the sun shining through the windows. I love living on a farm in the middle of farm country. This time of year is so incredibly beautiful here. Everything is growing, baby animals are filling the fields. I just love it. The only thing I wish was different is to have a longer summer.







The sun makes the garden look so magical in the mornings. I had to take some packages to the post office in the neighbouring village so I thought I would take you on a tour of where I live. Bye Daisy, back soon.



These are my neighbours. Daisy sees them through the fence and is not happy about them at all.









We are surrounded by some lovely old barns. It is so nice to see such openess, I really do dread driving in the city. You never know who you will meet in the country. This cute little guy is one of three adorable ponies across from our farmers market.



Now off to the village.









This village, which is about 10 minutes from me, has some lovely old homes. Both villages were settled over 200 years ago. When we moved here our village had a General Store, which has since closed. Here, until a few years ago, there was a Co-op, Hardware Store, Bank, Post Office, Garage and General Store. Now all that is left is the Post Office and the General Store, even the Garage no longer sells gas. It is sad, the school closed there to, which is where our son went. He went to Kindergarden in our village at the Old School House which has also closed. Very sad really.



There is a main road in the village with little side streets off of it and one small country road running behind. I just love this road. It is where the school was and there are no sidwalks just quaint houses. It reminds me of Northern Ontario cottage country.



On the way out of the village we pass an old church with a lovely steeple.



I stopped at our Farmer's Market for some fresh eggs and strawberries. Our strawberries have just come into season this week. This is the side of the Market. Lovely pond.





They grow most of their own produce here so you know it is fresh everyday. My eggs usually have a few little feathers on them, now you cannot get fresher than that.



This was an old school that was convertated into a lovely home.



Back home, I have said we have a lot of trees. Nice though, keeps it cool and the air fresh.



Hi Daisy, told you I wouldn't be long.



Isn't she adorable. Rufus was off digging a hole somewhere and when he does that he will not come to me for even a treat.



Here are the delicious eggs and strawberries.





This just makes me smile. I hope you have enjoyed your trip with me today. If you can you should buy local produce and dairy, it really makes a difference.
