🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day!

 These are my friends, Andrew and Wendy Donaldson. We sang in LPCC Church Choir together in Toronto back in the day. I was in high school, my mom and dad were in the choir, Wendy and Andrew were in university. I attended their wedding in Timmons, Dec. 21st, 1974.

Both amazing musicians.

An ode to Canada's past, present, and future by Toronto composer Andrew Donaldson, written to mark Canada's 125th birthday in 1992. (Turn on "CC" to view the song lyrics in real time.) 

We had a big storm last night. Tornado warnings on media. Jordan, in Kingston, had one as well. We had 10 mm rain in the day, another 12 mm last night. That's about an inch! 




July 1 morning skies:



I put these bulbs in the basement cold cellar after winter. I ignored them, having brought them upstairs. Lo, and behold! This was taken before Butch came to visit and snapped off one bloom. I put it towards their curiosity, rather than malice. 
Last night, I put the tall one on top of the BBQ. Of course, Butch knocked the little one over. No damage, though.
