The Unpublished Issues

****

The heat wave broke this week but the whole province is deadly dry and there are fires all over the place as well as in Alberta. In fact, the resort town of Jasper has burned. Or at least a good part of it. The kids were in the Occanogan this week and they could see fires in and around that area. So far we have been lucky but that could change in the blink of an eye.

I’ve finally had my first bowls of blueberries from my patch. The cold wet spring kept them from ripening until the head and sunshine started at the beginning of July. Now they are coming along nicely and I’m picking a small bowl each day but the birds are getting to them and destroying most just as they ripen. So, I’m having to pick them a bit on the green side. Better than nothing I guess.

Of course we had Poppy here for the week. She likes the small town dog life style, the interacting with other ‘real’ dogs, and so on. She also likes Ryan coming to get here and take her home. So do we.
