A quick trip to do some chores in Badjeros (love that name) took me to windmills again. Lots of combines in action and Mennonites out in force too but no pictures of them.

Harvested most of the second plum tree today. It was a good year which would have been excellent but many plums got moldy and dropped (due to excess rain???). I had to resort to picking a little early and will now ripen indoors otherwise I think they would have all gone off. Can't wait to prune the plum tree!

Was picking up the second half of the lumber delivery and got socked in for 2 hours by a massive thunder, lightning and rain (36.2 mm as by records of nearest weather station) storm. What else to do but read, explore the old creaky boat house, take pictures and chat with arriving cottagers who ended up in the same delay.

Not sure what species this creature with morph into but it was spectacular. Some looking up would say this is a Tussock Moth caterpillar - sp?

These were taken about 3 weeks ago now but I have just gotten to sorting through and picking the best of many shots. I tended to take a couple shots and then try to sneak closer for a couple more and so on until I had about 50 shots. I realized after that the rock was not the best background but that was where they were landing.

I like raspberries and the season has arrived in southern Ontario. Yummmmmy! They are my favourite frozen fruit - to me they come out still tasting great and you can eat them mostly the same way as in the summer. Of course fresh on cereal or many other ways are excellent too! This year the fresh fruit season has a certain urgency for me. If anyone were to peek into my lunch bag you would see that fruit is my favourite food group. For the past year or so I have chosen to eat only 1 piece of fruit per day that was not grown in Ontario. I was not particularly well prepared going into last winter and the net result was that I ate less fruit and too many spongy apples. I am determined to be more stocked up with fruit and berries from the summer.
