VISITORS AT THE TEST KITCHEN

Loving that low-country boil...

A monarch butterfly drops by to taste the geraniums

What is that brown thing between the wipers on the motorhome. Is it something the wind blew in?

You have to get a little close to see it..... scroll down...

Here's what the wind blew in.

IT'S A BAT!!!! Hanging upside down from the rubber beneath the windshield. We have never seen one here before.

Isn't she cute sleeping in the middle of the afternoon with her nose under her wing? It was way too bright for her. When it also got too hot, she was suddenly gone. Bats eat more than their body weight in insects so she can come back for a visit anytime.

HUNGRY ISLAND

SIX MILE LAKE

It's a difficult decision but sometimes a person needs to get away from one lake and go to another.

This orange boat will stand out as warning to other boaters that they should get out of the way, but really, do you trust these two to drive it?

Six Mile Lake in the Muskokas is quite a contrast to Lake Erie in Southwestern Ontario. Lake Erie can change it's mood several times in one day. If you wait 20 minutes the wind can turn calm, clear tourquoise water, like the Caribbean, into an angry, grey monster with waves crashing like the Atlantic.

On the other hand, with the wind in the Muskokas the leaves dance in the trees while you lie back in your favourite hammock.
