Wildflowers

local wildflowers

It is the time of year when we start noticing road kill My friend S noticed a dead Canada goose on the sidewalk the other day, she could barely look at it, just brought it to my attention. It is sad.

In other news husband M trapped his first chipmunk, I will spare you the photos. He drove it about 5 miles away, hopefully that is far enough.  He put sunflower seeds, peanuts in shell and peanut butter in the trap.  The creature ate everything, it shelled the nuts and sunflower seeds.  They love peanut butter, in fact, M thinks just peanut butter is enough of a lure.  

Vigil

flowers at the grocery store

There was a #torontostrong vigil held in the city yesterday to show grief and support for the victims of the deadly van attack last Monday. Thousands showed up including our Prime Minister and local politicians. They have not found any international links to terrorism and it seems the killer has mental health issues.

In other news, the daffodils have started blooming finally and we are to have a summery week at last!
There is a lot of road kill recently in the form of skunks (not a pleasant smell in the air).  There was even a rabbit leg on the sidewalk yesterday, sigh.

Summer Wildflowers

Here are some more wildflowers of summer for you today.  I took these photos last weekend.  I had met my girlfriend S for a quick walk.  We saw 2 dead raccoons on the main road, S thought one of them was a baby.  I tried not to look too closely.
