Fab Friday and Yum

 
Mindy:
Our mom and dad bean went out earlier, so I am 'holding the fort' while also taking a nap because it is hard work.  Last I looked, everything was just fine.
 
 
 Moe:


 You are doing a great job Mindy, I didn't even have to open my eyes even once.  It is so great to have a nice quiet time while the 'beans are out.

 

 
Cookie and Mike:

We need to share the water dish because there is only one upstairs.  Downstairs to the other big dish is a long way to go when you are thirsty.
 
 
Here is where our humans went - this is Bayswater Beach, Nova Scotia.
 These little birds are Semipalmated Plover.  They nest and raise their young here and then migrate as far as South America for the winter.  These ones are about to head south now.    

   Here is a close-up photo of one foraging on the beach and, look, it has found something!      
 
 

 
Hope you enjoy looking at the photos of these birds.
 
Our people drove along to Blandford and stopped to take this photo

 In the distance are two islands Little Tancook and Big Tancook Islands.
One can take a ferry to Big Tancook Island

 
 
Here is the best thing about living by the ocean
Fresh haddock.  Our neighbour has a fishing license and goes out in his boat occasionally to catch these.  This is where we say 'yum', so tasty!
 
Hope you will have a great weekend everyone!
