It's the last weekend of August and locally the Salmon Derby would be in full swing but not this year. What favourite events of yours were cancelled this year? Fortunately, we still get a daily dazzling light show as the sun rises. As a bonus, once in a while the point gets lit up at sun set, too.
In the yard, the waterfall is ready for its close-up after many versions. Bearded floaters get trimmed and thinned. Miss Pruner is ruthless in cutting bushes back but she knows what she's doing. Mr. Mower was lucky that when he hit a stump only the blade got bent, not the crank$haft.
A topdown daytrip to picturesque Tobermory. Fewer pleasure craft are tied up in the harbour, due to you-know-what. But scenic cruises, kayak convoys, and the "Big Canoe" (Chi Cheemaun) show signs of life returning.
The Gardener is enamored of the symbolism of sweetgrass. Clumps are split up and planted in favoured spots in our yard and life.
Cooler weather has brought seasonal creature behaviour. A few monarchs are still passing through. Mice get evicted from the house but this one was inexplicably comatose in the greenhouse. Can you count 9 squirrels in the seeds? Some of them snack on the last hollyhock pods. Maybe I should try them too??
The annual peach pie bake up!! Ontario peaches, mother's recipes, Sweetie's talents, and my treat. A Life of Pie!
f you're looking for some relief from the anxiety of pandemic or the anguish of injustice these days, I can offer this week's rainbow. Is there a pot of gold somewhere out there??
