Crumbly Acres is more crunchy than crumbly. I recall son Jesse, in Vancouver, who had water issues. He used to say, 'If it's yellow, let it mellow!' With the lack of rain, we are waiting to flush.
This is the 🇨🇦 Canadian NA satellite map. You can see our lack of clouds, and hurricane Erin, as well as her eye. Just having cloud cover helps. We had 6 mm Tuesday, and 6 on Wednesday.
Our front yard. Look at that brown 'grass,' although it is mostly weeds, which are done for the season.
Things look much difference in shaded areas.
Joe's back is better after his fall Wed., Aug. 15, but he does have a green and blue bruise. You can read more here. He managed short trips to town Tuesday and Wednesday. He's not in as much pain but still fragile.
There was an update on the Ottawa plane crash. While residents impacted by the plane crash are having trouble getting water testing and clean-up of spilled oil and fire retardant, the powers-that-be are asking the public to look for debris along the flight field. The plane ended up in a tree, with one dead, and two injured.
We're expecting the kids on Friday for a last visit/sleepover before school begins. Jordan is off to Queens University, Aster going into Gr. 10. It's a big change to their household, I know! I remember taking Caitlin to Waterloo University with her two brothers.
I'm still working on staining the decks. I cannot use the power washer for now. We are so low on water. I've decided to try sanding off the mold. We'll see what happens. Thing is, after I stain, the temperature has to be above 10 ℃ for 48 hours. This doesn't look good!

Preserving water is something we should all be learning - even those of us in countries with strong natural supplies... YAM xx
Sha and Dani got detoured on the way home from Perth. Apparently, there was an incident involving a motorcycle and track, but I haven’t come across the details.
I'm behind reading. I'm sorry about Joe's fall -- are you sure it's OK to host Rick? As for the drought, the day before yesterday he cycled from Strathroy to St. Mary's in non-stop pouring rain. I hope it's headed your way.
We could use some more rain here, it has been dry.
Take care, have a great day!
Drought, oh no. I sure hope that rain shows up!
We finally got a nice soak of rain here Tuesday evening and night.
it's always dry here, I wish it would rain.
Drought scares me. We have been through too many and I fear another is looming. I hope you get your forecast rain.
YOU HAVE SOME GOOD THINGS AND BAD THINGS COMING UP. It WILL Be GREaT TO SEE THE GRANDKIDS.
