Maya, Always Busy

The nasty heat wave just keeps on and on, and it's too hot to do much of anything - even with the air conditioner on. So, we just continue the look at trip photos. Today I'm sharing pictures of Maya, by Doll Leaves. He's not the most realistic of my guys, and he's from one of the least expensive companies, but I really like him. He's been on several trips now, and he always adds a certain boyish charm. He'll do things my other guys would consider beneath them. 

I really like the sweater I knit for him. In fact, it's my favourite of all the ones I knit for this trip.

He likes to have fun, but is also a good worker, and enjoys helping out....

He found the whole lobster fishing thing totally fascinating....

He also loves to ride his bike, as he is here along the Bay of Islands in Humber Arm. 
The mountains and islands are barely visible in the smokey haze caused by all the 
smoke drifting in from forest fires in Labrador, hundreds of kilometers to the west.

Today is Jan's 60th birthday, and our granddaughters are coming over for a special Birthday Tea Party. I hope it's not going to be too hot out to take nice pictures. The rest of the family is all coming to his Birthday Beach Party Saturday down by the lake. This heat wave is supposed to dissipate Saturday, and it's supposed to go down to a more tolerable 28 degrees. Well, I better get busy, as there's still a lot to get ready before the girls come over.
