Saturday July 30, 2022

The walk was back to relatively quiet again this morning, thank the Lord, and I had all 4 dogs with me.  There is one white dog that is up on the open 3rd floor of a building around the corner and he barks at us for a whole block whether he can see us or not.

I have not been able to check my online banking with CIBC for 2 days now, very strange...  I finally phoned and got through.  Yes, they are having problems and expect to have it fixed this afternoon or evening...  It is past 5pm and it is still down...

I have mostly insect photos again today as I spotted the dragonflies still cruising our lake which had subsided enough for  me to get closer today to this one tree they like to stop on.  I am quite pleased with the shots today.

I made pork chops for lunch, so everybody had a good feed, including all 12 dogs.  Then, since Cristina has had 3 months to make my Mom's oatmeal squares recipe and hasn't, even though I brought most of the right ingredients from Canada, I became a baker too today.  I think I misjudged the heat of our gas oven and left them in just a bit too long, but the squares are still edible, and they are just for me anyway...

I took Cristina in to have late lunch and a day with her sister, Adiela.  Our 3 co-pilots enjoy and excuse to ride in the car....

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.

Golden Silk Spider

Pretty colour on this Dragonfly

He is very striking

He let me get pretty close

This guy has nice colours too

I wonder how long they will hang around?

I would be happy if they stayed.

Better angles today

Nice to have them help in the yard.


Oatmeal squares remind us always of Mom

Nice drive back from Tulua

Love the shade trees
