Did you know all animals were bigger millions of years ago?
They have evolved into smaller beings due to the growing population of man.
With all this rain I begin to look at the Bulkley River with an eye to measuring how far up the banks it is.
A great site to keep check on it is www.bulkleyrivercam.com.
The Bulkley River is a major tributary of the Skeena River and is known for the finest steelhead fishing in Canada, among the best in the world.
It is named after Colonel Charles Bulkley, engineer in charge of the survey team, exploring this area in 1866.
The website shows the Bulkley River levels at Quick and Smithers, plus you can search levels for all rivers.
The Genealogy plant sale was a great success.
First prize of 10 yards of soil went to Diane Donaldson, second prize of the potting bench went to Rita Williams and third prize of a gardening gift basket went to Diane Paine.
There were several other prizes handed out to lucky winners but these were the major ones.
I picked up a few herb plants and they are doing well.
Not sure if it is all this rain or just my transplanting skills.
Lots of rhubarb? Check out Chatelaine.com.
I found several easy ways to add rhubarb to desserts and drinks.
My next try will be rhubarb-buttermilk tea cake and rhubarb spritzer.
Remember drive-in movies?
Wonder if they will ever come back?
Sometimes old is new again.
Closing with: Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.
