Trevormory/Timbermory

Trev and Tim took a car, a ferry, and a hike to visit the flowerpots in Tobermory. They enjoyed escaping the city after several months. The friends look forward to travelling again!

Pop!

How is everyone doing? Things are opening up here in Toronto. This morning, Buddy and I went to the Andy Warhol exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

We saw many of Andy's iconic pieces. Buddy counted the number of Campbell soup cans in this piece. There's 100! Andy painted this by hand, but used stencils to help him with repetition.

There were lots of portraits of celebrities, including Marilyn Monroe. Buddy liked how colour this set was. While there are eight portraits here, the full set includes ten portraits.

Buddy asked me if I can make him a wig like Andy's. This self portrait is from the 1980s.

The exhibit is on until October 24. If you check it out, let us know!

New Digs

Why hello out there! We are happy to share a photo of the Mins in our new kitchen (he is prepping for tonight's dinner). We recently moved to a larger condo that we renovated. It took longer than expected given supply chain delays as a result of COVID-19. We are thankful to have more space, especially when the city has been in lockdown. Have a great sunny Sunday, everyone!

Spring Update

Hi QuatchWatch friends. We recognize that it's been a while since we posted on the blog. There's been lots of changes happening in our lives so we will share positive updates soon. In the meantime, keep well and be safe!

New Year, New Pal

Happy New Year, everyone! We hope your 2021 is off to a great start.

Our friend from QuatchiFan sent us a new pal (thank you, Sophia!). We have named her Jo. Jo is settling in quite nicely with the other friends. We look forward to including Jo on our future adventures.

Bath Time

Trev now has a honey bear-sized tub. It's a fancy clawfoot one too. Perfection!

Weekday Hike

Tim joined my BFF, Karen, and I on a weekday hike at the Beamer Memorial Conservation Area. The weather was perfect for some exploring.

Tim enjoyed the views of Grimsby from high above.

He also liked trekking through the woods. He had a little nap in my backpack halfway.

Tim was very happy to be outdoors given this crazy year. He sends a big virtual hug to all!

Lovebot

The Lovebot invasion is here! Colin is pleased to introduce Larry the Lovebot. They spend the day yesterday talking about kindness, computers, and the colour red.

Feels Like Fall

 
Maggie joined my family and I on a mini road trip to Bancroft to visit an old friend. Along the way, we hit up a few butter tart places. Maggie liked the tarts from the Kawartha Buttertart Factory & Bakery the best.

We also hit up a few fruit/veggie stands on our drive. We didn't buy any gourds or pumpkins, but we did get apple pie.

Maggie ran toward this corn field hoping it would be a corn maze. No such luck.

But Maggie did luck out with candy! She brought back a bunch of treats for the friends. We know Halloween will be different this year, but at least it will still be sweet!

Melothria Scabra

We've been trying lots of new fruits and veggies this summer, including plumcots, doughnut peaches, and Maggie's new favourite - melothria scabra, a.k.a. mouse melons. They look like mini watermelons, but they are kinda cucumber-ish. Some folks pickle them, or use them in cocktails. We're going to use them for a salad this week.
