Week 43 Blocks 127-129+

Labour Day was the coolest day we have had all summer. So much more comfortable. It does feel like fall is coming. 

Previously I showed you my crabapple tree in the back. The fruit tree in the front, I thought was some sort of cherry but it looks like an apple, maybe crabapple. Does anyone know? In all the 20 years it has never been so loaded with fruit that the branches are touching the ground. 

I've been travelling back and forth to Strathmore and have heard the crops are the best they've had for awhile. This is surprising to me because we've had so little rain, 1 day a month, and over 30 C or 90 F temperature. There must have been enough moisture from the s_ _w, winter precipitation. ( Probably shouldn't have written w_ _ _ _ r either. )

Countdown 8. Week 43 presents the first world peace creator, a rocket scientist and a film director/producer of outdoor movies plus a pioneer for humane treatment of animals in movies.

Blocks 124-126 Week 42 Moving

Countdown: 9
Speaking of countdowns in four more months Christmas will be over and we'll be looking forward to a new year.

Even when you're packing up someone else's belongings moving is tiring. Boxes, clothes, dishes, linen, shoes, ... and ... and ...  and .... What goes to charity? What goes with you? Haven't decided which is more tiring packing or unpacking. Now it is all done and waiting to be recycled or reused. 

The best part is the three days of mandatory sewing starting today. Yahoo!

Did everyone see the solar eclipse thru welding glasses, the cereal box or on tv? Our universe is so incredible. I'm always saying that I was born at a fabulous time. Incredible discoveries and inventions and rock 'n roll music. Photo from Calgary Alberta Canada.

This composite image has multiple photos of the eclipse taken three minutes apart from a view in Calgary's Westhills area. (Submitted by John Mcdougall)

Week 41's women are just as incredible. Brain surgeon, endocrinologist, and Iron Lady of the North. Each in their own way can move between professionalism and every day life.
