Seaweed is great for the garden this time of year.

The Garden

Under constant construction, we've grown and regrown a variety of lettuce
and other vegetables, 4 times so far this year.

Hot Wheels!

Mom and Dad have been collecting Hot Wheels cars (mostly all Mustangs) for a few years now. The walls are slowly being covered in the hallway!

All Mustangs.... and more around the corner!

Rare vintage assorted Hot Wheels. The oldest being 1967.

Mom's Favorite; 1969 Redline Mustang Boss Hoss (US and Foreign Pat. Pending)

The Forests Around My Home

"The Vancouver Island region is a large, sparsely populated area, encompassing Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, as well as a portion of the mainland.
It has one of the world's most diverse ecosystems: Rainforests, marshes, meadows, beaches, mountains, oceans, rivers and lakes create habitats for multitudes of wildlife species. In fact, the region is one of the world's premier locations for whale watching, birding, as well as salmon and trout fishing.
Much of the island is protected parkland. It contains many pockets of old-growth fir and cedar forests, as well as rare, naturally occurring groves of Garry oak. Vancouver Island is bisected, north to south, by the Beaufort Mountain Range, which is home to one of Canada's biggest all-natural ski bases.
The beauty and tranquility of this region has long been a draw for artists and artisans. Art galleries, studios and shops selling unique, locally produced arts and crafts are found in many population centres, particularly on the Gulf Islands."  - Destination BC Corp.

Happy Holidays and Good-Bye 2013!

 

2013 was a great year for me. I finally got back my two front teeth, I passed Grade One with flying colors and I'm well on my way to reading full novels soon! In the New Year I will begin Kung Fu lessons that Gran and Grandpa bought for me for Christmas. I'm very excited about that. I will continue to keep up my writing and reading, artwork and crafts, and take care of all my pets in the New Year too. :) Happy New Year to all of our friends and family, and all the best in 2014!

 

We had a wonderful Christmas at the Kelly House! Santa was good to me.
