The Adventures of Sunsette -- Nova Scotia again, May 6
Thanks everyone smile Yep, this year's theme was perfect for us.

Part 3 -- Beyond PUDDLE -- June 24

After PUDDLE, TrueFan invited us to visit for a bit, so, on Sunday, we packed up and hit the road.
First, lunch at Mitsuwa and this highly recommended dessert. How did I not know about this and the bakery??

"Who's this guy...?"
"And what's wrong with his head?"

We stopped at Willowbrook Wildlife Center. They rescue injured birds & small animals from all over the area, including having people pick up birds that hit the skyscrapers in Chicago.

Rose-breasted grosbeak. Some of the permanent residents can't be released because of their injuries.

"Blowing out the moral lights around us" is a terrific line.

True showed us the library where she works. This dollhouse was pretty neat.
There was also a fairy garden outside...

"This is so great! It's us-sized!!"


[Image: 44259088635_8ab9bac312_o.jpg]
"Mum, can you make us a fairy garden at home??"

"So, is flying hard to learn...?"
