Sabrina

Last weekend, we had the cutest little dog with us! We were dogsitting Sabrina while her owner, our friend Cheryl, was having fun in New Jersey.
It was a pretty quiet weekend, just walking around the lake and relaxing.

The frisbee was as big as her but she didn't mind.



And after all that running and walking, a little nap on the couch with Jay was very welcome!

The new grill

I just realized that we uploaded pictures of grill night and kept talking about our new grill to everybody, but we didn't show you the new grill!

So here it is, our new grill:

I know, it is amazing!


And now, some news of the amazing banana tree:

It's getting really big, and there's two banana trees now!

And a pretty flower grows with the banana trees, some sort of lily, I guess.

Grill night

Last weekend we had some friends over for a last minute grill night. Jay was the chef and he did very well, we still lack some essential ustensils but it is getting better!

All the pics were taken by Brad and Adam

Jay, Cheryl and me

The feast! Shrimps, asparagus, sausages, lentil salad, potato salad...

At the arboretum

Now that we live close by, we got a membership to the arboretum. Last weekend was the start of the spring blooms, it was very colorful and the smell of all the flowers was really wonderful.

Enjoy the pictures!



Jay saw something!

Do you see it too?

Here it is!


It's a hummingbird. At first we thought it was a bee.
So cute!
