THE HORSE IS BACK IN THE BARN

Mid-summer brings heat waves past, present, and future. Temps run into high 30's C, humidex in low 40's. With occasional heavy rains, one result is stress on the flora. The big spruce tree is oozing Cytospora canker, a gross blob that could be fatal.




But the blossoms keep blooming in their seasonal sequence. This week is pink holly hocks, purple Culver's root, and deep red crocosmia ( Welcome to Name That Plant 101...). So these days there's masses of bees, butterflies, and thirsty hummingbirds.





It's also the best year ever for the raspberry bushes. C'mon up and pick your own! They go on cereal, ice cream, impulse items, and especially pies and tarts. Tongue-twisting yummy...




Time for the latest news from the car addict. For years I've been perving this Mustang with a one-year only colour called Legend Green (extra rare is a tan top and interior). So a quick drive to picturesque Penetaguishene and Avela hands over her chariot! The Girl In The Pink Visor likes it too...



So, yes there's now 2 soft tops to choose from for an evening cruise. But the newbie looks good in any light. Two curious events around this car: First, it's well-known that my favourite is a 1964. So isn't it serendipity that the random plate I got is CRAV 064?? And then the colour, although Legendary, reminds me of a favourite fruit and country. Presenting the newest horse in the barn ---- Kiwi!!
