Good grief, there's never a dull moment in Alberta, is there? Freezing winters followed by summer fires. Then you've got a variety of exotic wildlife. armed with either antlers or teeth and claws. Then you can throw in the ones that slither and are poisonous.
I won't mention the hedgehog I saw in my garden again.

Two more critter tales:
 
In Canada they run the power lines overhead and the telephone lines (when we had them for landlines) underground. Well it seems that a squirrel shorted out a power line, either by its own volition or was dropped by a bird of prey but the result was a half acre fire and a lengthy visit by the fire department, this was last week when we were on extreme fire alerts province-wide.  Nothing of much value was lost and thankfully the hot spots are being kept in check.

The other story it that the beavers have been taking trees quite close to our house, I can now see the veggie garden from the house were before it was hidden. They also chewed up my watering hose.

It’s like living in a Disney nightmare.

Alberta has areas of dinosaur finds, I think in flood patterns - the most world famous museum is the Tyrell in southern Alberta but we had one built a few years in the north, the Currie which is about 1.5 hours from here and there have been significant finds in this area for there too. I think if you build the museum then people find stuff to fill them, that's how it works lol

By the way, Diane, have any dinosaur bones turned up in that lovely garden of yours?

I made a strawberry tea because our son was coming to visit. This is also the weekend we plant garden seeds in northern Alberta.

I actually can't bear to watch the man on television. The tag-team bullying by Trump and Vance against Zelenskyy was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen.

At the moment my family are boycotting everything American, which includes shopping at Morrisons. We don't go to McDonalds, Costa, or Starbucks. There's a growing movement against buying American.
