On April 25th, since it was so nice and sunny outside, the host took Peko-chan and Supergirl on a long walk to explore the Lac-des-Fées ("fairies's lake") pathway near her home. It is several kilometers long and borders the Parc de la Gatineau, a huge wilderness park that covers a large part of Gatineau. On the way over to the pathway, Peko-chan and Supergirl posed for a picture on top of a fire hydrant, in front of a long-terme care centre for the elderly. They had a thought for these people, wishing them well, as they are being very affected by COVID-19 right now.

Peko-chan and Supergirl can't wait until it's warm enough to transplant them in a pot ouside and really see them grow! Then, on April 25th, the sun came out and it was very nice and warm outside, finally! The host took Peko-chan and Supergirl outside and took them around her house to show them the flowers that had started to grow, a lot of them from bulbs that she planted last Fall.
