Comox Weekend Away

We just had the May long weekend here in Victoria. The public holiday commemorates Queen Victoria's birthday. We still love the British Royalty here in Canada.
This is the weekend where everyone feels it is safe to plant out all their veggie plants and annuals for the summer ahead because the chances of cool weather is significantly diminished. We are now in full blown spring and the days are very long. The sun goes down after 9pm every evening and we are thoroughly enjoying the nice long days. We come home after work and school and can all still enjoy good times in the garden.
This weekend we went up to Comox (three hours north of Victoria on the east side of Vancouver island). Our friends Dave and Heather returned from Australia not that long ago -- so it was time for a visit. We had a number of friends join us since we threw a surprise 40th Birthday party for our friend Dave...
The next blog will share some of those Birthday details...
