Yeah, and then we all sang Loverboy!
Oops, showing my age again. Teehee.
And now, let me show the most perfect apple in the world. Picked not 20 minutes ago from a tree in the backyard:
Then Mr. B got at it:
We’re also drowning in tomatoes. Every other day I’m picking a bowl like [...]
It’s Sunday and I’m pooped! It was a very long week, especially considering Monday was a holiday. Back in class and getting used to parcelling my time into working blocks/reading blocks/knitting blocks/sleeping and eating blocks. Okay, not quite that bad, but you get the idea.
Here’s a few things that have been going on [...]
the phlox has no chance of remaining the tallest flower in the garden! Remember when it was sooooo hot here? Come on, you must remember me whining (as I so often do in the summer) about the heat? Well, the phlox in the garden was so tall and lovely. The smell was absolutely intoxicating. I [...]
All you Canadians who had yesterday off for a civic holiday, was today not super-extra-amazingly hard to get out of bed day? Uh, huh, glad it wasn’t just me.
The long weekend was nice though. Not quite as hot as it has been, which is brilliant for me, personally. I got some work done on the [...]
Yesterday Vancouver set a new record for hottest day recorded, since they started keeping track of those things. It was 33.8 degrees Celsius*. Pretty amazing, right? Well, sort of. There just a few things wrong with that, i.e.
The weather station where they get the temperature is at the airport which is a bit of a [...]
Sure you do. Here’s what you’ll need:
three dogs – preferably a set with some very high jealousy issues – today’s example will include a small, medium, and large dog. You may choose any size dogs you prefer or are available in your area.
one bouncy rubber ball
Now, and here is the important part, bounce said ball [...]
you sometimes get tips. Sometimes they are really adorable tips, like this one:
Mr. B is thinking he’s pretty darn special, I tell you what!
Summer continues to…well…be summer. The garden is exploding. This is the first year that our little apple tree is really putting on a big crop of apples.
If even half of them make [...]
Unfortunately, it’s Sunday and that means both hubby and I are back to work tomorrow. I have to say, this was probably the most non-relaxing week off work I’ve ever had. Oh well, at least we got lots done. Today’s fun & festivities included some demolition:
Then we took out part of the wall [...]
By that I mean they are insidious, difficult to get rid of, will probably survive a nuclear winter, and seem to breed at an insane rate. Last Saturday I began what I like to call, take back the flower bed from the buttercups. I did some shovelling and a whole lot of thwacking buttercup plant [...]
Mr. Beentsy thought we should clear out some beds and plant some flowers today after work. Me being the completely placid and malleable person that I am (what? I am malleable! Never mind, that’s a total lie), I agreed immediately. We went to our local garden centre, only to find out it had been changed [...]
