Envy & Nostalgia

My good friend Andree who lives on Saturna Island BC sent me a picture of her garden, house and view as it stands today - look at that garden!
All we have here are dried clumps of brown everywhere, even with all the warm weather we've had.
Oh, and the second picture is one of H.M.C.S. Oriole majestically sailing in front of her home yesterday evening. It is a Canadian navy sailboat used for training. My hubby paul spent a summer on the Oriole as a young cadet. He still talks of that wonderful experience.


BTW, Andree is teaching Reverse Appliquee at Courtepointe Quebec in Montreal on 2 and 3 June.
