so yesterday while we were out and about, i saw a little sign. it said 'east coast scallops' and my brain, immediately jumped to the thought of 'i wonder if they are from digby...' after much laughter, troy informed me that they were probably from the east coast of the island, not the east coast of canada. its funny where your brain goes. i don't even eat seafood anymore, but i see the word scallops, and i think of digby.
things are good out here. Sonnet is just getting over a little flu bug, which was hetic and stressful, but we pulled through with some help from nanny.
i've got her costume and my costume all finished.
we went to a nursery the other day and got a free strawberry plant to go in my garden. unfortunately for the garden, the dog seems to be in love with my pansies, and keep showering them with love. sadly this means she rolls over and over on them. so we need a little fence to go around it.
friday and saterday we have plans in victoria with Jeramy, Sheryl and Alex. i'm going down to spend the evenign and overnight on friday, and saterday troy and sonnet are coming up and having lunch with us. it'll be nice to see them. Jeramy is on leave from his tour in afganistan, so its very awesome that they are out here to visit.

things are going good out here.
Its raining today, and it rained yesterday. i posted a lovely and quite appropriate poem over at homewolf. http://www.homewolf.com/board/verses/show/2192
got the last needed fabric for sonnets halloween costume and her wings yesterday. she'll be a cute little fairy. We're only gonna go around the block, and then the dress will go into rotation as a play outfit. the wings will go on the wall with her other wings.
she starts week two of her daycare on monday, and we are all loving it so far. She like the kids and she loves the lady. She has a great time while shes there, so its going great.
i've been working on surpise gift packages for friends back home who i miss. i'm done the two commissions for my mom, plus some earrings, and i have tons of stock made up.
troys had some extra days off lately and its been nice to have him at home.

no topic
randomly, we rearranged the bedroom the other day and freed up tons of space. the room seems alot bigger now, which is really cool.
troy is working today, and sonnet and i are having a lazyish day around the house. shes down for a nap, and i'm taking a moment to post before i head back to doing laundry.
we have an appointment tommorrow afternoon about daycare for sonnet. Its private, and theres only one other kid, but its better than nothing and should help sonnet out with her interaction skills, which have been slipping since we left north bay.
its a bit cooler out today so we have been in the house all day. It only 17 out, and theres a bit of a breeze and its overcast. I think it might rain. mac got an unexpected bit of exercise after i failed to check the backyard completely before i let her out. the neighbors cat was hanging out on one of our lawn chairs and she gave mac quite the chase before escaping to sit on top of the fence and clean her paws, just out of macs jumping reach. Mac and the Cat both appear think that they got the better over the other animal.
i plan on doing some work on the halloween costumes tonight. i'll get the pattern cut out for troys shirt and start on sonnets dress. (i have some fleece downstairs that i'll use). fabric land had a huge pattern sale on last pay, so i had randomly picked up about a billion patterns (they were two bucks! i couldn't resist) which will now come in very handy. i've got fabric for troys shirt too so i might even get it cut tonight.
