Cloud shelf, brought a bit of damaging winds.

I had to go on the roof today, so took the opportunity to take some pictures of the gardens -

Flower gardens

Vegetable garden

 

Lots of flowers blooming for the bees - this bee is on sweet yellow clover, and a field of canola is in the background.

 

Happy Canada Day!

Natures fireworks - thunderstorm this evening, with amazing clouds.

 

 Stopping to smell the flowers.

 No rain, but a rainbow this morning.

 We had a weather warning today for high winds, hail and rain, so we kept an eye on the sky. Great clouds, but no storm here.

 We put yesterday's swarm of bees in a new hive, and tried to find the queen - no luck today, there are so many bees!

 Bee swarm! I heard it before I saw this.

Luckily they didn't go far and we were able to catch them.

 Yellow sweet clover is blooming on our walking path - it smells lovely. The canola field is also blooming.

 6ºC (42ºF) this morning and mist was coming off the pond. It did get to 25ºC (77ºF) in the afternoon.

 Cold and windy for two days, but at least we had some much needed rain yesterday.

 The canola is beginning to bloom.

 Morning sky.

We saw a large Leopard Frog in the pond today.

Sunset.

 We rarely get 9 eggs in a day (we have 9 laying hens), so it is nice when we do. We usually get 7 a day.

Getting ready to clean out the chicks' cage, of course Miss Maggie had to jump in the box for the chicks.

 Now all the plants are planted!
