Rain-O ...

It has been raining, last night and all day and it is much appreciated. There is a chance of a couple more days or rain yet before the sun returns. There is nothing like mother nature watering the plants...


My favorite Day Lilly El Desperado, Buddy enjoying a dog chew, our $2 rose and the young bunny still hanging around.


Our local carving contest it always interesting!


A smokey sunset from the forest fires


I put up the flag on July 1st, some Day Lilies. Blueberries from the garden and working on the old family kitchen table that Dad built - I sort of remember it in the glassed in dining porch on the ranch way back in 1956 and it was part of family life through many moves until it settled in with me (my sisters were wondering where it was).  


Another sunset


Seaweed for the garden to keep the bugs off, Jelly Fish, Buddy and Taz trying to get my attention, Gai feather flowers.


Garlic scapes are ready, garlic and blueberries together. Everything has been ready early this year.



I hope everyone has been able to enjoy some of natures bounty and to spend some time with family and friends.

Logs from the 1938 Sayward Fire...

A few years ago when the new Island Highway was being built a friend and I salvaged a few Cedar logs. There was a massive fire that year that ran from Courtney to Sayward the largest fire BC had ever experienced. There is a exhibit on at the Campbell River Museum which I will soon take a look. 
 When a tree burns and has a layer of charcoal  it will not rot. The logs were stacked behind the motor home and the Carpenter ants were doing their thing so being on a major yard clean up this summer...


The ants were in the first log I dragged it out back and split it into 4 the other 9 logs seem to be sound Hope to try out the Beam Machine soon


Home made Hay Wagon at the Blueberry farm picked 20  lbs yesterday.


The only tall  Dahlia in yard the apples look good this year


Block at Winery as well as Dahlia and grape vines the Hibiscus is large from the yard


Short Dahlia, Gayfeather, Scabiosa, Bella (neighbors dog), Buddy and his friend Samatha last spraying for white flies on Rhodos using garlic, basic H2 and a seaweed powder

Lighten Up...

Made a real change in the colour scape around lower sublovia (home). After looking at dark brown for so many years it is a pleasing change. The colour scheme is evolving with my better half's help and finding more miss tints at the General Paint store.  


Here we are Power wash, Painting  and Done

All Decked out with details. 
Copper 'March to your own Drummer', freshly painted chair, Mooseport Sask. Stained glass, 
1970's owl I bought it in North Van. (the lady said it cost $75)
 and freshly painted metal shelf. 

    Everything is so clean, the blueberries are awesome, Wendy's flowers are looking great!

More Flowers and a Happy Bee so Bee Happy on this fine day!
