still painting the fence. sigh

For each board we paint on the fence, the fence seems to respond by adding two more. The are miles and miles and miles of fence to paint, or at least it appears that way.

school is out, crystal is very excited about that fact.

I predict that we will have reallllllyyy big tomatoes this year. Zuchinis the size of a house and cucumbers to die for. After all they are currently growing in thirty years of manure and dirt. Winners for sure!!

epipen, our new word of the month, first Hannah needs an epipen, now Arianna needs an epipen for her death defying shrimp allergy, as well as new Asthma inhalers to deal with a diagnosed asthma condition. ohh mmy

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, whew talk about the bus. Over the last four days, I have spent 21 hours on the bus. Of course it was worth it as i had the opportunity to visit in Edomonton. Eat half price sushi, and full price german cuisine, and have breakfast for 2.99.

If what's for you, won't go by you is the answer to our accomplishments in life, then if I chose to stand in the middle of an open field during a thunder storm and become struck by lightening, does that then mean being struck by lightening was my destiny, or simply my stupidity. While my friend believes in what's for you won't go by you, I simply believe the things that are for you will be presented to you in different forms and choosing or rejecting opportunities and circumstances is a concsious decision.

well, apparently the fish have been smarter than the fishermen this weekend. With only lots of mosquito bites and some sun burn to show for the weekend, we will just have to go back to the ol' fishin hole agin next weekend.

Today is the big day for max. Max is getting a hair cut today, no more shaggy, matted, smelly, dirty dog hair everywhere. Max will be short, short, short and cool for those hot summer days yet to come.

mmmm, mushroom season, good ole Saskatchewan morels picked fresh and sauted in butter. mmm mm

oh where oh where could my little car keys go?? Gerald in his infinte wisdom in the a.m. put ALL the keys in his pocket, including the ones to the vehicle I was supposed to use to get to work in Prince Albert with. well needless to say we had to do some thinking, some walking and some telephoning to get to work today.

A modern day Alice in Wonderand, What the Bleep do we know Anyway, where Alice's reality is thru the looking glass, is this where quantum physics can take us, thru the looking glass and beyond?

note to self, don't drink coffee at 7:00 p.m. and expect to go to sleep at 11

the seeding is done, now we can watch it grow. the garden is mostly up, although none of the 450 potatoe plants seem to showing their nasty little heads.

the cry of the auctioneer, the smell of the burning hamburgers, the feel of sun beating on my face, aaah a day at the auction. four boxes of who knows what for $2.00, two boxes at 5.oo each and $400.00 for a year old 8 hp snowblower. who'da thunk it.

mmmm, petunia flowers, pansies, johnny jump ups, spinach, onion and tomatoes, with three cheese ranch dressing,mmmm. yummy fiddleheads sauted in onion, garlic butter very tasty indeed.

well, we went vegetarian tonight. cream of dandelion flower soup as an appetizer, (hard to say if it was good or not, as I over did the celery seed and that was a very overpowering error, so will have to try again when there are more dandelions) spinach and grilled portobello mushroom salad with balsamic vinegar/oil dressing, butternut squash and crimini mushroom lasagna with ricotta, mozeralla and parmesian cheese (oooh, that was good!!) and mushroom pate with cream cheese for later. Complemented by crabapple wine. well perhaps complemented is not the best choice of words. I should have saved some dandelion flowers for the pancakes tommorrow morning, hmmmm where or where can I find a dandelion.

mmmmm, dandelions. We have now had cooked dandelion flowers. lightly floured and fried in butter, mmmm, taste like cooked mushroommms. Warning don't eat dandelions from lawns with dogs. lol

ahh the elusive bedtime, bedtime is 8:00 but when it is daylight out side it is hard to believe it is bedtime and not playtime.

potatoes, potatoes, potatoes and more potatoes. Over 400 potatoe hills, I wonder how many potatoes that could actually mutliply out to be and just how many sacks of potatoes we will need to keep all those potatoes. Anyone who comes to visit this year will be hilling potatoes, checking potatoes, weeding potatoes, pulling potatoes, picking potatoes and maybe even eating some of them.
