Strawberries in August


Yes, we have strawberries in August. Our plants are ever bearing, which is not exactly true, but we do get at least two crops per year. The flavour is always better in June, but then strawberries anytime is a treat.
We had a delightful visit with a long lost cousin, and her husband, tonight, as they were passing through on their way to Tofino. What an interesting couple! She is in training for a marathon after having broken both her arms this April and also suffering Achilles Tendon damage. He too is an athlete and both of them are in middle age. What makes them particularly interesting though, is that he is Lt. Governor of Saskatchewan. I had a great time discussing non-partisanship with him. (Can this be possible?) That is a prerequisite of his position and he truly exemplifies it well.
