As promised, here's a look at the lilies along the side of my house earlier this month:
The Nanking cherry tree is heavy with fruit. I'm thinking of making jam.

TV Meteorologists really bug me
We're having a heat wave and my house traps heat and I don't have air conditioning.
Yesterday morning I was watching Canada AM from the BC time zone and they did the BC weather. The weather guy happily announced that the BC interior was going to have a great day-- 32C and sunny. Victoria, on the other hand, was not so nice-- 18C and rainy (I say bring it on).
Attention TV weather announcers: 25C and sunny with a breeze is a great summer day-- 32C is too damn hot!!!
It's supposed to be a little cooler over the next few days but I'm off to Moose Jaw and the Festival of Words (www.festivalofwords.com) where the weather will be hot-- and possibly humid. The air conditioning at Moose Jaw Library better be working this year. Veronica and I sweated a lot last year.
Veronica and the kids came to Lloydminster's fair last week. She and I had a sisters night out on the Thursday-- chuckwagon races followed by the grandstand show featuring Trooper. I came out ahead on the evening because I won the 50/50 draw (over $1100!). Now I'll never win the lottery.

Tennis anyone?
I've been trying to watch Wimbledon over the past week before work. Every time I tune in I get talking heads-- which means rain. But the Canadian/Bahamian connection continues with Daniel Nestor and Mark Knowles in the quarterfinals of gentleman's doubles.
No rain here. It's the first serious heat wave of the summer right now. It should be cooler on the weekend though. We had some serious rain over a week ago and now things are starting to pop in the garden. The lilies by the side of the house have started blooming and the rhubarb is almost ready for the second harvest-- I promised my sister-in-law she could have this batch.
Saw Live Free or Die Hard on the weekend. Perfect summer action flick with real stunts not CGI effects (I especially like how a fire hydrant is used to knock a guy out of a helicopter).
