Buttercups and Lilacs

Tuesday was a beautiful sunny day at Bayside (something we have not seen a whole lot of here at Bayside until this week) so Tim and I decided to take a little walk out to the mailbox to enjoy the nice weather. Along the way, we discussed such important issues as yappy dogs and... really that's about it. Life is quite relaxing right now.
Unfortunately, upon arrival at the mailbox, we realized that we forgot the mailbox key... no wait that was a different day... On this day, we learned that the big brown mailboxes have evolved into a gathering place for the community.
Urgh... This blog post has been suddenly cut short by yet another thunderstorm. Today we have had steady rumbling from 12 o'clock to about 6 o'clock with absolutely no lightening in sight to sit back and enjoy. The fact that the lamp on my desk just rattled with the rolling thunder indicates that I should probably wrap this up post-haste (no pun intended).
PS. I was going to tell you that on the way home, gigantic buttercups line all of Faders Road. It was quite stunning! I picked a large handful and even found some lilacs to create a bouquet of my two favourite colours: purple and yellow.
