Weekend Bite?

Hubby and I just had a wonderful three day weekend (due to it being Victoria Day here in Canada) and, as we've recently acquired a company car from hubby's work, we decided to spend two of the three days out with friends.

Saturday was spent with several others at a cottage owned by some very dear friends. On the way we stopped at the Mississippi Mills, which produce green hydro-power, (see pictures below). We then continued through the countryside to a wonderfully secluded cottage. Our day was filled with laughter, food and relaxation. Hubby made us an excellent supper of Rainbow Trout and vegetables, cooked in foil on the bonfire. :) We all bravely battled the never ending war with the bugs, black fly and mosquitoes to be exact, but it was a fun day. You can see the effect the black flies had on me below.

Sunday, we spent the afternoon and evening at our friends house. We had a lot of fun, good food, relaxation and a crazy (non-pc) game called 'Cards Against Humanity', which is a 'free party game for horrible people' (that's what it says on their website! lol)...oh my, what a hilarious game. However, it's definitely only for adults, you have been warned. ;)

I thought I would share with you a few images from Saturday and the battle scars from the war with the bugs. Also, I've included a video that sums up the fun we had with the black flies.

Enjoy! :)

 I just love moss and lichen.
