The hops vine provides lots of entertainment. Froggies still inhabit it, plus, caterpillars. And eggs! I don't know what they are. We'll have to be patient.
Yesterday's storm was epic in Ottawa, with flooding downtown and hail. They had 75 - 100 mm of rain in 6 hours. We had only 20 cm rain.

Our Fearsome Foursome Flyers went from Singapore to London, then London to Boston, on Thursday, Aug. 10 over 35 hours. They arrived in Boston last night. This afternoon they return 🏡 home. From being 14,000 km away they are now only 500km away!
I watched them as the plane flew over the Black Sea, south of Ukraine.
There was lots of action by the RCAF and their CHAOS aircraft, as well as USAF's FORTE11.

This is JL's summary of the penultimate leg of the trip on the family blog. He is a foodie and provides interesting commentary!
Here is their landing in Boston!

ReplyDeleteAh, S'pore to Boston in 35 hrs makes more sense! Golly though, it only seems like yesterday they were heading south... YAM xx
Globe travelers should wear a badge or something...they have really been around it!
ReplyDeleteWe got enough rain, but we didn't suffer like other places. It has been a bit wild lately.
ReplyDeleteThey will have lots of stories to tell you.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI never see the caterpillars. Those eggs are cool looking.
Safe travels to your family.
Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend.
That is a LOT of rain in a very short period.
ReplyDeleteHow long before you see the travellers?
We really benefit by your fascination with everything from aircraft to the critters in your own yard. Thank you, Jenn for sharing your world with us. Aloha!
ReplyDeleteWow your 'kids" are practically next door neighbors now (ha ha)... they sure had an amazing trip! Good grief, that rain -- I had no idea. Gosh.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at how you can follow planes in the sky.
ReplyDeleteloved to see caterpillars. :) I did see one bib fat one, the other day. But it was raining so no camera.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realized hops provided such a critter haven. Cool!
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely to be able to follow our loved ones while traveling. Thanks for the link. I will check that out next. That storm was really something. Enjoyed your nature photos also. Thanks Jenn!
ReplyDeleteThe lighting on these photos is especially beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat was quite a storm we had.
