Bowen, a mini vacation

Shane and I, having missed our planned vacation to the interior decided to take a two nights in Bowen Island, not to far from here at all.

It was a beautiful island, with loads of good food and a cute little cove where we watched a movie under the stars.

The pups loved the cabin we picked

Just a little note here....BUTTER WAS OFF LEASH FOR 10 MINUTES!

I mean to do better. honestly.

This was Aug 12, a fine day.

I dried some cherries, at 1 hour and at 30 hours.

During that time Butter and I took some pictures.

Shane and I went for a walk

And we went stupid cat hunting.

Excuse my absence please. I've been a little under the weather. Here's what we've been doing,

Eating these horrible things. Delicious and hard to resist

We bought this pretty thing.

I made a yummy breakfast on our morning off

Obsessing over some almost ripe tomatoes

Keeping an eye on these very close to ready blackberries

And loving walks through this park
