Brought some of our peonies in here at Five Blocks North. They were so tall and had so many blooms they were falling over!

Had a call from a location scout asking if we might be interested in shooting this series here at Five Blocks North this summer. Our house looks like it could be in New Orleans doesn’t it? Many of the scenes take place in a hospital however the folks who work there need somewhere interesting to live don’t they? #FiveBlocksNorth #film #filmmaking #filmmaker #filmmakers #filmmakerslife #production #storytelling #filmseries #director #star #NewOrleans #heritagehome #medicaldrama #kingswood #lightsactioncamera🎥🎬🎭 #appletvplus #fivedaysatmemorial #fivedaysatmemorialhospital

Look at his garden grow! Yes it is May 23 and we have had lettuce for weeks and soon will have peas. Radishes too, including my favourite watermelon radishes. The wonders of a cold frame! Second picture shows our next two crops mid way through and just getting started. Mike used an old patio door on this one to keep the squirrels, birds and cold from getting in. Smart gardener that hubby of mine is! Great garden planning on his part. #fiveblocksnorth #bedandbreakfast #PortDover #garden #gardening #gardenlife #gardendesign #vegatables #vegetablegardening #vegatablegarden #lettucegrow #watermelonradish #radishes #lettuce #peas #gardenersofinstagram #gardener #gardenplanning

My handy hubby made me this beautiful screen door. Love the breeze coming from the lake and going right through our kitchen. Swipe right to see a picture from the inside out. This screen door was made to give the maximum view inside and out. Seemed like a great idea at the time, until our Grandson Logan walked right through it not realizing it was there. Ha Handy hubby fixed it! #FiveBlocksNorth #portdover #lakelife #handyhubby #handyhubby❤️ #handyhubbysrock #handyhubbystrikesagain #screendoor #redtrim #summervibes

New baby doves here at Five Blocks North. They enjoy sunning themselves on the rocks in our garden and on the garden pathways. Two babies and two parents very involved in looking after them. Doves know how to do it! #FiveBlocksNorth #doves #doveseason #dovesofinstagram #babydoves #nature_perfection #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers

Wow we have many new fish family members now at Five Blocks North as you can see on this video! They are hungry and love coming up for their daily snack. Love watching them swim around.

We have a few too many. #FiveBlocksNorth #goldfish #landscapeponds #outdoorlife #outdoorpondstyle #outdoorpondswim #outdoorpondfish #babyfish #biggoldfishtour #biggoldfish #portdover #portdoverontario

Spring is here. Love the combo of yellow daffodils and purple hyacinth. In the garden these ones will go once we make up our summer pots for more new blooms every spring from now on. They will be in good company. #fiveblocksnorth #spring #springblooms #daffodils #daffodils🌼 #hyacinth #gardening #gardenlife #garden #flowers

Such a nice afternoon for an early Saint Patrick’s Day celebration for two at our local @Callahansbeachhouse. Love our Port Dover beach. In case you wondered where our green was.....I have a green top on but even though it was nice I needed to keep a coat on! I have dangly green earrings on too that my son @mitchstrachan gave me when he was about 8. They are beauuuutiful! #saintpatricksday #portdover #portdoverbeach #springiscoming #patioseason #patiolife #beach
