Duck Lake

6/30/2014

We by no stretch have a fancy camera. Yet look at this. Not a bad photograph what? Then again we weren't on a quad. Don't even start. Right. The north end of Duck Lake is a treat. There is allways a few Heron, Duck, Geese, Cormorant, Red-Winged Blackbird, and who knows what else. I must say the Pelicans in the spring and fall are my alltime favorite to watch. What a treat. As is Duck Lake anytime of year. So we left this lovely walk and then stopped at Sanders on the way home. Were else but Creston.

Mr. Sanders isn't really to keen on
having his picture taken so this is a rare photo of Rodger out in thier field
with the u-pick crew.  We'd come back from Duck Lake and stopped to pick a few pales to take home. Still cool in the morning, no bugs, lovely big berries. Pleasant way to start your day off. Sanders Strawberries is out in Wyndell on Channel Road. They're open from 7-4 seven days a week. Get out there for some great berries and a fun time.

Corn Creek

This is Katherine heading west up Corn Creek. The water is just covered in cotton wood. You can only do this when the water is high in the spring. Kind of fun to snake your way up the creek. Turtles, ducks, ducklings and bugs. I'm sure there are loads of other things but thats what I see mostly. Good fun.

Katherines Streptocarpus plant at the shop is in bloom yet again. She's worked out the secret to getting this plant to show off. Keep it dry. Does it ever work. It's in the window by the door as you come in but I must say not to many folks notice it. Exept Shelley. He spots it every time.

Wow, nature trumps man hands down anyday. I mean really. Is this not beyond words. Lucky me to be shown were these little gems reside. Katherine found them shortly after we moved here and has only shown a small handfull of people. How else to protect something as delicate and as special as this. I mean you wait all winter and into the spring just to see this for a week or so. Would you not keep them a well guarded secret?
