Making the most of the weekend

For some bizarre weather reason, known only by the trade winds, this weekend was sunny and warm and Tshirt at the beach weather.

I know! Not your typical Vancouver October.

The flowers are still going strong in the garden and everyone is feeling a little lazy, nicely warm and in a bit of a domestic cocooning mode.

Truth be told, Milo has a bit of a cat cold and was sneezing all night, and he’s my little energy bunny, so when he’s lazing around the house, we all feel a little lazy too.

But it would be a shame to waste this beautiful sunshine, so out we go.

Down to the beach for a walk, where it seems that most everyone has had the same idea.

So while we enjoyed watching the children playing and walking by families picnicking, we also had one eye on the cerulean sky and those mare’s tails which always signal an approaching front.

Monday morning, back to rain.

Sharing with Mary on this mosaic Monday, and Carissa at lowercase letters, and Sami for shenanigans.  🙂

    Hi Veronica. I love Vancouver and yes, having beautiful sunny days in October is something to be excited about. The photos look great and I love the painting that you took.
    Hope you’re week is going to be better than your rainy Monday.

    Oh, I love an art show outside! And it’s nice to have a little Indian summer at the end of the season! Enjoy your day!

    It was a wonderful weekend, wasn’t it? We enjoyed every minute of the sunshine – both days. We intended to stay home on Sunday and do house chores – but that sunshine won out, and I’m glad because of the rain today – although the sun is peaking through a bit right now, but I hear there is more rain coming. Great photos of your weekend.

    It was a gorgeous weekend, wasn’t it? Did you get a few showers overnight and this morning? We can see Vancouver Island at the moment, but there seem to be more clouds rolling in from the southwest. Hope Milo is feeling better.

    Milo is gorgeous and so are your beautiful photographs. I always wanted to visit Vancouver. I lived in Ontario for five years, and fell in love with Canada. Sweater weather is my favorite time of year, here in Massachusetts the weather is gradually getting cooler.

    Lovely to meet you.
