Another rainy night.

Stuart left for the Mainland.
So I am just waiting.

You can't imagine
The distance between two drops
Camping in the rain.

Post pictureless

Today was nice. Auntie had to go to a place of work and invited me along (because of course she would be there like three hours.) So yeah I had to wake up earlier than I would have liked (because I slept unwell last night.) I talked to one lady, who was the wife of the guy whose place was the place of work, and we had some nice conversation. She even gave me a book! It was about the middle ages. Nice stuff, really. yeah.
I didn't take any pictures, you might have noticed. That is just the way of life. To not have photos.

Haiku:
Sundown by the sea
Not over water, but hills;
One or two people.

So, for what happened today:
Auntie had some jazz to deal with, so me and Stu were to meet her at the co-op at 3:30. We hung out for a while. We decided to walk there around 2:oo. Anyways, we got there early.(Me and stu walking down the street ^ ) So, we got there like a half hour early, so we got some drinks and went down to the beach.
Here I am, with drink and beach. You will notice of course the reoccurring rock formations. How strange! How amazing! Gasp in horror at their oddness.
When auntie came we decided to go to the forest. It was a nice nice walk. The forest is so so pretty, you know! The way the light falls through the trees.
We walked for rather awhile, and came upon a beach.

How can I describe the colour of the summer sea? It is not done justice by this tiny image. We sat awhile, it was really quite windy.Here I am, sitting on the grass. There was a pretty patch of grass behind the logs and stones. It reminded auntie of the prairie grasses. I love the bright yellow it has. And it was nice as the wind swept it up in a tumultuous chorus of moving grass with me, unmoving, at the centre.

I already gave you a haiku today. So, no haiku until tomorrow!

last night at the beach.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments c:
I will try to keep this blog updated on the daily!!
Yesterday evening we all went to the beach. It was unseasonably cloudy, but that's alright, right? Anyways, we had a good time.







This is Red Dog. He is aunite's. He is so big but just the sweetest! This is a great shot of him by the sea.
We're trying to raise money to send him to the vet, because he has mysterious lumps of a worrisome nature. >:C
Not very happy. But! He is an old doggy, so in a sense, life is overtaking him.







What? Who's this sexy kid??
Anyways, I went in. Yeah, it was a little cold, but the sand was silky soft beneath my feet. It was like walking through clouds! Cold ones. Yeah. I spent some of the time reading traditional poetry from the Kokinshuu, or "Collected poems old and new." It is one of the most influential poetic anthologies from Japan. It is like a thousand years old or something. Yeah. Pretty old.


This is a good picture of the october sea that has enshrouded my July of warm nights and passionate glances. You could say. I wrote a haiku about it:
Off in the distance
Where the sea becomes the cloud
A lone cedar log.


But this is not my daily haiku.



As we were leaving, the sky began to rain. This made me happy: I had hoped for rain, because the sound of rain on trees and structures is the most beautiful. We drove home through the smoky world to sit in our house and read as the rain washed over the windows.

The smell of smoke and
In distant thunder, the voice
Of summer rain.

today: the day after

Ahh! I woke up this morning to another bright sunny morning. Here is a picture of auntie's house. Nice, huh? Yeah. No kidding. Anyways, she was upset because she spent her grocery money at the party last night. Never fear, though! We are allright. We had yoghurt and granola for breakfast. But we had to go down to the cove so Stuart could get reception.These funny faces are my brother Stuart and my Auntie (in that order). We all get along great.


This is the cove (Fords cove) with me and stu. Once again, I am looking handsome! Anyways, check out the illin' geological formations. Hornby is home to many such amazing eccentricities! Anyways, Stuart checked his bank from his cellphone and found out there was like 900 extra dollars in there. What? Fifteen minutes later, his bank lady phoned and told him someone had tried to scam him! They deposited an empty envolope as 1000 dollars and then tried to withdraw it. The bank saved stu's money, thankfully, but it compromised his bank card, so he had to cut it up. So, he has no way to access his money now! He is in a bit of a conundrum, but I said I would lend him money if he needed it.
This is just stuart's cool tatoo. He wanted me to show everybody.
So anyways, he was all depressed, and we found this guy. He was just playing guitar on the beach. He is Quebecois and a pretty neato guy. He let us play on his guitar too and stuart cheered up. c: Yay! Yeah. We actually hung out for like 2 hours. It was pretty intense.So, that's what happened today. Fun as always! I hope the rest of the day is nice too. Maybe I will post again today, maybe I will not.

Haiku:
The rushing sounds of leaves
Under bright morning sunshine -
My towel dried hair.

This also was written yesterday. Maybe one day I will catch up.

Canada day party

I like this picture of me and my Auntie. We were cooking. I broke a jar. Anyways, I look good here. It was a great meal and we took it to the Canada day party we went to. It was because the stuff they sold was expensive, so we made our own.
Yeah. We had one meal today. It was dinner.






So yeah.








After eating there was a tug of war contest. Auntie went up for the contest. And then, at the last minute, instead of tugging, they chanted "No more war!" and made the rope into a circle. It was great.

She showed me to some of her friends. They seem nice. I can't wait to become a part of the community.









This is the band that played. They had three or four marimbas and a drumset and some tabla-esque things and a bass guitar and a regular guitar and shakers. Shka shka shakers. Yeah.
They played some laid back tropic music and stuff. Everyone was jammin'. You don't even know.







All in all it was a nice occasion. It was ages and then it got dark, and they had fireworks. Yay! Canada day! All that jazz.

Night.

July 1st

Happy canada day!
And all that.
Today I woke up to the sound of leaves rushing with wind: the most beautiful sound. Sunlight pours in through the many strange windows of the cabin. I wander through the shining sun-dappled leaves of the forest around me to find the articles I require for a shower.
The shower sure was crazy. I may take a picture at some point... wonderful, anyways. I have spent all day lazing and dazing, which I don't really like. I like to do things, I guess. But anyways. No word from my employer about when I start, but I'm not worried. She's my neighbour, too! Yeah. So...

I guess this is the end of my post. Such a nice time!
I guess since I am doing a haiku wrimo (WRIting MOnth, a haiku a day for a month) I can show it here too.

Todays:
Bright white sunshine
Again, glittering and vanishing,
On ferry born waves.

This one is about yesterday, though... but it works out.
