Christmas Tree

Usually the last week of Nov. we have our tree up and decorated and the rest of  Nov./Dec. I finish decorating doors, windows and other parts of the house.
This year I was done shopping early and so I also had my tree up early!

Canada in Summer

Canada in Summer

Summer is awesome from coast to coast and province to province of Canada.
There are tonnes of things to do to amuse yourself, no matter what kinds of activities you are interested in.
I live in a small town in Muskoka that has its own charms and amusements in the summer time and we try to enjoy as many of them as we can. Usually, we enjoy camping in the summer and we have our favourite spots to do that but we don't really have to travel too far from home.

The weather in summer is usually in the high twenties but can get as high as 32 degrees sometimes.
This past summer we had a heatwave so we missed having camp fires and bonfires in our fire pit in the back yard but usually we would have them during camping trips, our parties or just on a weekend for something to do.

Sometimes we meet family or friends at the beach for an afternoon swim and picnic. We celebrate our birthday's in the summer so we usually have bbqs with our family and friends and share a good meal and listen to some music.
If we took vacations we'd want to do it in summer because there is so much to see and do but unfortunately summer is BUSY work season for hubby so we only have weekends free to enjoy all the fun! However, there are still many things to do and many places to go close to us so we always find weekends fly by and summer is busy and used up fast!

Information LINKS posted in the sidebars for each province and in general.
