A little more from the Garden

It's a little too hot to do too much in the garden except water. It's about 32C at the moment.

On Thursday it was 35.2C with humidity it was 47C. We beat the last high recorded on the same day in 1955 (the year I was born) which was 35.0C. I remember my Mom saying that it was hot that July, no kidding!






Creative Adventures #1
An Old Abandoned Town

1. While driving through an old abandoned town you take a turn down a side road and spot a railroad yard with an old train station, thinking it might be fun to explore it, you stop your car and walk up to the abandoned station.

2. Walking through the old train station you get a funny feeling you are not alone, you turn to see a door closing.

3. Rushing back to your car and just about to cross the old tracks you hear the sound of a train whistle pass you by but there was no train anywhere to be seen.

4. Once in your car driving away you think to yourself what just happened?.

From the Garden

They say it is going to be a hot one today! The lilies are in all in bloom. Here are a few from my garden. I can't seem to kill them and they don't need much care.

25C but feels much hotter. We are supposed to have thunder storms but so far it doesn't look like rain.

We went to the Jazz festival but didn't stay long because it was too darn hot!

I caught this little robin cooling off in my neighbor's birth bath. So cute!

Happy Canada Day!

If you were not awake at 6:00 AM this morning then you missed the sun. By 9:00 AM it turned cloudy, it doesn't look lie rain. It felt very hot when the sun came out few seconds while I was in the garden.

I did a little weeding but there are still lots of weeds, a result of lots of rain. I find that this year the garden is flowering more and a little earlier than the past couple of years. Last year I was so discourage that I was ready to take everything out and put in grass. I decided to give another year and so far I'm a little encouraged. It still needs some rearranging and thinning out.

Here are a couple of pictures I took this morning.
