Good Morning!

Well … here it is July 1st. Boy, time sure fly’s by. One minute we are in the midst of winter, the next we are in the middle of summer, heading towards fall. Although, winter isn’t something I am looking forward to at the moment. Looking outside, there is a bit of haze, but that is all it is. There isn’t any smoke in the air … as yet, but that could change in the coming days as we are going to be in for some really hot weather for the next four or five days. Let’s hope it stays clear of our area.

Highway 522 is still quiet, but I suspect it will get busier every day now. But in saying that, we have had a steady stream of folks dropping by our small gift shop picking up a few of our unique items. It’s nice to see folks out and about enjoying themselves.

Bug Report: There are a few deer flies around, but for most parts things are good.

On another note, my wife and I did take it a bit easy yesterday, and today I will see about working up my vegetable garden a wee bit. Our tomatoes and potatoes need to be hilled, along with removing some suckers from the tomatoes. In doing so, we will have some better tasting produce along with them being a touch larger. It’s also time for us to start doing up things for winter. Out with the old and in with the new is our way of thinking. In doing so, we eat healthier along with saving us a lot of money come winter. And I am thinking food is going to get a lot more expensive. And I also believe we are going to lose a lot of the quality as we here in Canada relies too much on other countries for food. We should be growing it here in our own country.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store.

Have a great day! GW
