Another hectic week and thoughts of lazing through August have disappeared like the morning mist on the bay. A special occasion was the In on the Park to welcome recently wedded nephew Todd and Jayd, now living in Manhattan.
(Can you say "house swap" boys and girls??). The three sisters, like the rest of us, captured by Jayd's charm and photog profession.
Meanwhile back at the garden the temp hits 47C with no rain for days. The tomatoes like it, but the pond has been cloudy all season. I've de-mucked the bottom and Pat has applied "ClearFast" to the top, but still murky. Other years the pond water is clear to the bottom. Go figure. Whose arm is that wracked with poison ivy?
A quick trip to Toronto to clear the apartment for floor refinishing. A couple of days, right? Wrong. The 85-yeard old floor is now too thin to be resanded and must be replaced. All the furnishings have to stay out on the balcony for at least another two weeks while wood is chosen and appointments made. Frustrating ---- you visitors out there will have to postpone!
The week is ending with Owen Sound at its best. The huge music fest
SummerFolk is pickin' and a-grinnin' in the sun. And the Tall Ships are in port, part of a Great Lakes parade to commemorate the War of 1812. One heaved-to off our deck, and the others were swarmed by landlubbers. Beautiful sight --- but in the last picture, are they
boats or are they
ships??
