Really? July 1st? What happened to June already? Let's see ....

It was a glorious day, although not
bathing suit temperature |
Visit to Vancouver - Peter and I had a quick weekend visit to Vancouver. We managed to take time to share some sushi at Spanish Banks and make the obligatory visit to Granville Island.

"Empress of the Underworld" - hey,
I 'earned' that title the hard way! | |

Two weekends on Hornby Island - as Peter's parents are staying there now that the weather is better, we went up to visit and help them get ready for summer. We managed to clean the roof, plant some flowers in pots, replace some fencing so the deer can't get in and eat the flowers we just planted, and move some things into storage under the house.

To balance it out (it was the weekend after all), we made a loaf of
gluten-free crusty boule that I absolutely had to try (Peter found the recipe and it was quite good), the hot tub was up and running so we tested it out, we made dairy-free ice cream with sugar-free hazelnut flavour, went for a walk in Helliwell Park early one morning, walked along Tribune Bay and saw the new tennis court surface.

We even had some time to visit with friends and wander around the farmer's market both weekends. It was sunny both weekends but just a little cooler than one hoped it would be. Looking at the selection of fresh flowers and strawberries available, the sunshine was more important than the temperature. It was a good month.
