A good weekend and my new animal friend LOL
It's been a fun, and very busy weekend. My friend's husband left the island for a week long training session, and she was on call Sat night (she's one of the docs at the clinic). So A and I had a sleep over so that if she got called in, in the middle of the night, someone would be there to watch her little one. It was fun. A did a good job of going right to sleep to.
And eyeing her choices....oh what to try first!
This morning we got up and headed to church, then came home and changed and went out salmon fishing. Saw a couple of silver's jump, but the wind was just so stiff and has been this whole week, that we weren't able to catch any. But that's okay. It was still fun, and even better was that the sun started to break through the clouds on the way home.
After swinging by the house to change we headed over to the huge Community Yard Sale at the PCR. I swear the whole town was there. See, it is so expensive to get stuff here, that everyone just kind of swaps stuff and rotates stuff around. It is awesome. I managed to score some really cute Halloween and Christmas decorations, A set of Lincoln Logs, and a dinosaur for A. She was thrilled.
The we headed across the street to the high school for the long awaited Blueberry Bash. I was planning to enter a blueberry bread pudding, but never had time to do a test run, so decided I would have to save that for next year. A has been talking about this all week. Here she is doing a little happy dance before digging in to all of the yummys!
As you can see....she thoroughly enjoyed her selections. LOL
After filling our bellies ( I am still stuffed, although I just had to finish my left over homemade blueberry crisp with vanilla ice cream tonight LOL) We came home and I went down the side of the house to go pick some more blueberries. As you can see they are falling right off the branches now!

While I was berry picking I had quite an unusual surprise. I heard a noise and looked up ( I was in a hollar, picking) and low and behold, this adorable little guy was staring down at me.
A red fox! He was very curious as to what I was doing. I actually didn't have my camera with me, so I just stood and talked to him for awhile. He would tilt his head back and forth as he listened, and then he proceeded to walk over to my bowl of blueberries and try to pick it up LOL. I decided to take the chance and head home and grab the camera. I told him I would be right back and he seemed to understand. I went home and grabbed the camera and hoped he would still be there. Sure enough, he was. And he let me snap a ton of pics and then even followed me as I moved from bush to bush picking.
I love this pic I snapped while he was in mid yawn.... LOL
