Ruth's garden

Ruth has grown a terrific garden this year. There were beets, zucchini, potatoes, beans, peas, okra, tomatoes, and kohlrabi. There were turnips also but the worms ate them so badly that they were ruined. Oh, and corn is on the way.

August Visitors

Here is Jaqueline, Lin Brown's youngest. Harley and Lin also came to visit but Harley managed to swat at a wasp and got stung on her finger so she was not feeling so good. Then this last Thursday Jess and Sheena Bailey and their son Andrew and his son Aidan plus Andrew's granddaughter, Sylvan came to visit. They were on their way to a Bailey family reunion at Fort Qu'Appelle.
(Aidan was proud to announce that he was Sylvan's uncle even though he is younger than she is. Also you might notice the T-shirt that Aidan is wearing that says "Jamaica . . . No Problem")

Robins and frogs

Yesterday I took this picture of the last robin chick to leave the nest and today the nest was empty. About 10 this evening Ruth called me because a toad had hopped up to the front of the house. (She has often seen one in the garden and once I saw a toad in the fish pond.) You never know what kind of wildlife will appear at our acerage.
