I love fresh corn on the cob so I wish I could taste Chiliwack corn, Judy. We drove past many farms in Nebraska this week that were suffering from the draught...

Those fish really do look prehistoric don't they! Note to self - never go swimming in the Fraser River :). I think all the mosquitos are in your part of the country - we have next to none this year - all because it's been so dry here I guess! We have an over population of flys and beer bugs however.Rosellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615262714438296920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-68677049925698117572012-07-24T06:38:12.616-07:002012-07-24T06:38:12.616-07:00Oh my!
