I am so glad that Canada Day showed up in the middle of the week this year! We had decided a long time ago to close the office on Friday giving us all a nice long weekend in the middle of summer.
I haven’t had time to relax like I have this weekend for a long time. I decided sort of at the last minute to drive out to Alberta to see the Friesen’s in The Field. Best decision I could have made. Good friends, good times and long stretches of quiet.
And see – I planted Lauralea’s garden. I think there is more gravel than top soil. We’ll see what grows.
It’s never too late? Hope the tomato plants survive. They were still looking a bit droopy this afternoon.
I also watched the cross raising.
Good use for an old fire truck. You could tell they are farmers though – no safety harnesses.
Mostly I read and rested.
My soul may have actually caught up with the rest of me. The winter months have had so much time devoted to studying. I’ve crammed lots of things into my brain but my soul sort of went a bit dry I think. I am feeling a bit like I can go back home now and give the last two weeks of work my best, finish organizing the travel in Europe and pack my bags for the Big Trip.

And how we need to rest sometimes. Looking forward to seeing you and Leo in a few weeks.
