23/08: Flowers and Things

It's been very dry in Walkerton this summer .... not in anyway nearing the drought Texas is feeling but still quite dry for us. Ed managed to avoid mowing the grass for six weeks. Finally on Saturday the 20th we got a good downpour, at least an inch and a half and on Sunday it rained a bit more. Unfortunately, about an hour south west of us a tornado hit with the rain and thunder storm. The quaint downtown of Goderich has been forever destroyed by a F3 tornado (strong for Ontario). On Monday the 22nd the opposition leader for the government died from cancer. Jack Layton was not someone I would vote for but he did make a huge mark on Canadian politics. The reason it really hit home was Jack Layton was six months younger than Ed.
On a happier note we went to visit our friends Anne and Victor. I helped Anne harvest her potatoes and came home with enough potatoes to last till we head south --- thanks Anne.
Anne's garden doing very well this year. She planted the sunflowers to help hide the storage containers --- think it worked.
