Sometimes It's Just Worth Pushing Yourself To Do It!

Kerri and I didn't actually sign the lease yesterday. Our landlords had another trick up their sleeves and it sent both of us into major stress land. I decided to invite my step-dad Jim with us when we do end up signing the lease on Tuesday. Jim is coming thank-fully. Thanks Jim! Both Kerri and I are really nervous about signing a lease. We have not totally worked out the wrinkles in our relationship but we always do in the end and usually both end up in tears because we sooo love each other and want this to work!

Today I woke up in tears telling Kerri I wasn't going with her on her Organic Farm adventure. It was to be an all day trip about an hour away from Ottawa in the Province of Quebec. I ended up pulling myself together with the help of breakfast; Lavender Oil and Valerian. We had a great day.

At first we were driving along the Queensway and saw this beautiful array of air balloons above. It was soo cool! There is always so much going on it Ottawa we didn't even know there was a festival! Hard to keep track, lol...

Here is a close-up of the bumble bee balloon on the left!

...and a real bumble bee on the right!
Kerri is great at finding bugs and stuff...she actually saw a cricket in the grass while walking around. I couldn't see a thing but maybe she was joking (remember the Snuffalophagus from Sesame Street or the Polkaroo from Polka Dot Door?).

I did however get a great shot of this toad in Kerri's hands. We were warned not to touch the toad for long as our sweat glands are toxic to toads! I hope we didn't injure the little guy!

I was glad I was allowed go on this adventure! The bus was all filled but at the last minute one of the girls called in sick! Kerri and I thought it was a great deal as we didn't have to pay gas or anything. There was free produce and homemade apple crisp. It was a beautiful day!
