At Their Peak

These pretty wildflowers are at their peak in the neighbourhood!

Have you been watching the Rio Summer Olympics?  We thought the opening ceremonies went off very well.

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.

Clogged Kitchen Sink

I took these summer wildflower/weed photos, aren't they pretty?

Pokemon Go has taken our city by storm, at least in our area, the streets are filled with kids hunting for Pokemon characters. My 'kids' age 21 and 24 are just as addicted. It must be just a fad. The escape reality game rooms seem to have been just that, as a lot of them have closed already.

In more mundane news, our kitchen sink became clogged on the weekend. I remembered we had trouble with this many years ago but couldn't remember the details. Sure enough, I was able to search my blog and found that I had recounted the story of that 8 years ago! In those days, the blog was even more of a daily journal of what was going on in my life.

Wildflowers

The wildflowers are at their best at this time of year. Ironically, I've been so busy picking weeds out of my lawn, I never noticed a couple of huge trees taking over a garden.  I think it's an oak and an ash, but I could be wrong.  In a couple of months they have grown so tall and the shrubs beside them are choking and dying.  I would leave them if there was room but they are too close to the house.
