Steve Irwin is spinning

Apparently we are awaiting the arrival of British dingoes, coming to the Forestry Farm Park and Zoo from… England??

Crikey, whot?

Cherry time

The nankings are first. I’m on the hunt for sour. The winter is calling for jelly making!

Well, that’s annoying

The birds evidently want to make sure we don’t make beetle pickles this fall. Once they had their way with the beets, they started in on the Swiss chard. I think netting is in order for next year. Ed is useless as a protector of the produce. Though there have been jackrabbit sightings as close as the alley and next door, our lettuce seems safe so far. Perhaps that’s what Ed considers worth guarding.

HOME girls

My mom went along to meet Saskatoon HOME publisher and my pal Amanda Soulodre at our recent editorial meeting. We lined up the story assignments for the fall issue, due out in early September. Mom’s been a HOME reader for years, and now that she’s a Saskatoon citizen, this was her first chance to meet the woman behind it all!

Canada Day cupcakes with Charlie

Jim was pretty impressed that Saskatoon’s mayor Charlie Clark called him out by name in the crowd and made sure he got a Canada Day cupcake. We attended the festivities at Diefenbaker Park, watched the fly over, reaffirmed our citizenship, and posed with the RCMP. And got our annual serving of dry ribs.
