Just Some Garden Kitsch

Our Lady of the Photoshop Filters

Hiding in the Hostas

Chillin’ by the pond

Steamy hot day here at Barkwhistle, bullfrogs are in full voice, dogs are moving kinda slow.

Yes, those are the Muskoka Chairs I built, lurking in the background.

Roofer Madness

Due to some minor water infiltration in the sunroom and garage, we decided to deal with it now before the complete economic collapse of Western capitalism. Sorry, just watched “Inside Job“.
