STUMPED? TRY HEARTS AND ICE CREAM!

The Raptors play for the NBA Championship tomorrow, and like all of Canada our hearts will be there hoping for a slam dunk. Go Raptors! Look for us in the throngs at Jurassic Park...

The week started back at the Beach in Toronto, flooded again this year. The next episode in the saga of  The Tree was to remove the giant stump. 5-foot diameter Silver maple vs. 36-inch Stihl chainsaw. The trunk finally fell with a whhhump. How often do you see/hear that?





The crew then cuts huge chunks into large chunks...




And a crane has to be used to lift them away...



The next step will be to grind the stump to below grade level...stay tuned. The dark area in the centre of the stump is from the tree drawing up water. This species grows fast because it is so thirsty and the Beach ground is so wet below.


Back at Kemble, the sunrises are earlier but more spectacular every day. Late spring means leaves are still emerging. And it's Pride month ---- our rainbow is on-line for our LGBTQ friends and rellies.



Garden Girl loves playing in the dirt. But big bonus!!---a rarity that straw bales are there too. (Does your car smell like a farm??) The Yard Guy finally puts up the gazebo, late in the season.



Birthday Girl gets a special occasion with cards and cake and a day off from chores. Great topless drive to pretty Tobermory. Even the kids have boating in mind. The ChiCheemaun devours campers like a colourful friendly whale. Classic cars are finally back in the sun. 





And here's the Official Birthday Portrait of a mature, refined, dignified adult...
