Midsummer Musings

It's been a fairly quiet summer thus far, though it has been flying by all the same. Once again no art shows, though things are looking up in terms of vaccinations and disease control, so we may have one in late August.

We both got our second shots in early July, so glad to have that out of the way, and far sooner than projected a few months back.

We've been spending a lot of time in Tillsonburg helping Jane's dad, which has limited what we have been able to do or get done at home. Lots of cleaning, organizing, and dump runs in the van....and in the evenings, he likes to watch Trailer Park Boys!

Our garden is alive and well at least, with a heavy dose of tomatoes, potatoes (mainly in grow bags) and brussel sprouts this year....and lately we have even gained some bonus squash from the compost. We also harvested our small batch of test garlic we planted in the fall, which is currently drying.

The farmer next door planted wheat this year - well, technically last year - which we don't see often but it is our favourite crop for viewing purposes.

We also have managed to squeeze in a few retro-night movies on the big screen out back!

Where's the fire?

It puts the Wheat in Wheatley....or it gets the soybeans again
