vacation photos : dog gone good vacation

Every time I'm up at Drummond I always say it's a dog's vacation. Why? Because it's the life of freedom for our Scout & Daisy. Who wouldn't love it? No fences. Relaxing on the deck & sprawling out in the lush summer grass. Investigating the nearby woods. Visiting the relatives that have cottages next door. Watching the geese & ducks fly overhead. Chasing little red squirrels & monarch butterflies and running down the Bass Lake Trail to go swimming in the lake. I really don't know anyone that enjoys Drummond more than them. It's a happy place for man & his best friends.

Daisy - "Can we play, can we play?"

Scout - such a handsome pup!

Daisy - A rest in the yard and never without her ball.

"I love my ball!"

a spring trip to the island

Another Memorial Day has come and gone, and that means another trip to Drummond Island has come and gone as well. My husband and I had a fabulous time though. Relaxing, bbqing, bird-watching, taking the dogs for a swim, walking, 4-wheeling, painting (for me) and of course no trip would be complete without a stop at the Northwood bar for my favorite popcorn and the coldest beer ever! Beer always tastes the best on the island.

I have a new obsession and I admit it. I'm addicted to watching hummingbirds. I'm so completely fascinated with the little buggers. Within about 2 hours of hanging up the feeder the dive bombers arrived. Throughout the weekend we had a total of 4 birds, 2 males and 2 females and they were non-stop at the feeder from sun up till sun down. Just absolutely amazing little creatures. I even got some sun sitting on the deck with my camera trying to get a few good shots.

The above are just a few of my favorite pics from the weekend, but if you click the link you can check out my full album on Facebook. Happy Memorial Day!
