First Blooms

It's the first long weekend of the summer. I'm sharing some photos I've been snapping about the neighbourhood for you as the first blooms started to appear.  This is the weekend most people start their summer plantings.

Geese

It is the Victoria Day long weekend here, considered the start of the summer season.  The garden stores will be very busy as it is time to get the planting done.

Have you seen the new Supergirl trailer?  I'd like to see this movie (or new TV series rather)! Although a cousin reminded me the 80s Supergirl movie starring Helen Slater did not do well.

The Canada geese are so plentiful around here at this time of year. Here is one I saw in the grocery store parking lot. There is talk of culling the population but it is not an easy problem to solve.

And finally let me say, I am not a David Beckham fan, but I thought this one was hilarious:

The start of the summer season

I had a lovely walk yesterday, birds were singing in the air, the sun was shining... We have a long Victoria Day weekend starting and I noticed a few people have already done or started their summer planting. Traditionally, this weekend is considered the start of a frost free summer season. A lot of people will be opening their summer cottages up north.

Summer Planting

There is a lot of development in the area and these geese seem a bit lost, wondering what happened to their watering grounds. A few of them have unfortunately become road kill.
