This is my desktop image for August. We are getting in a few more visits with the kids. It's getting tough in other ways because of the heat wave we've been having. I can't be outside for very long, I don't do well in the heat. My daughter's boys came to the church (we live right next door to it) to ride their bikes. I got a few good shots of them. I also managed to get a decent shot of my one and only granddaughter, looking adoringly at her Daddy. (Fathers and daughters!) My little niece is wearing her Dad's helmet. Too cute! August is our big birthday month, and we are having to rethink our annual big party; we will have to split it to 2 days for get togethers, but that will mean missing more than half of the family, including seeing our nephew who is home from the military.

This is my desktop image for July. We managed to have get-together for. Father's Day. By this point Ontario was in Stage 2. (groups of up to 10 people no longer have to social distance) However, because we live in a retirement community, we are still being very careful, keeping our distance from people. No hugging, staying 2 meters away...) The kids are having a hard time understanding why we don't want hugs.

This is my desktop image for June. The photo of the kids is from Mother's Day. By now, the quarantine was getting to me. I could only see my grandkids from 2 meters away while they were in the car. They came by to drop off some treats, some homemade artwork, and some flowers. I'm not crying...

This is a rich and creamy decadent dessert, perfect for hot evenings. It's vegan and Keto friendly (with the right sweetener) and so good, you won't think it's good for you. My niece made this for me and I had to have the recipe. At the time, it was only on Pinterest, but I just found this version online. Photo is from the blog.

Zucchini Blossoms This layout showcases the Rustic Renditions Nano Collections. One of our walks around our apartment building, and through residents gardens, we came across these zucchini blossoms. Hubby didn't know they are edible. I used: Rustic Renditions Nano Collection ScrapSimple Digital Layout Album Templates: Modern Rustic

Pandemic Visiting Despite not being able to hug our grandkids, we are still able to see them, though at a distance. I keep reminding the young ones, "you need to be able to have Daddy with his arms out between us!"

This is the desktop for May. I made it on May the 4th, hence all the Star Wars themed stuff happening in the background, lol! By this time, we were able to do some social distanced visiting, so I did get a few photos of the kids.
