Way past time to work on holiday travel plans and boy oh boy - next year - JULY is the month

Took forever to sort out plane stuff - some had 2 layovers - are you kidding! or $1,000 a person :o But finally found something that would work - and Christmas being on Saturday didn't help :(

Supposed to be hot/humid again - skeeter spraying starts today - not sure when we're scheduled!

Trin got her bath last night and is a bit of a fluff ball this AM rofl oh well - she's fresh and clean though (as is Gary and the bathroom....)

gotta get going

check back later

Good morning! Pretty graphics to start the day.

Nice to see the osprey triplets on the nest.

Are you planning and booking a trip to Ohio for next July, Deb? I didn't realize you'd have to book so far ahead. Trinity will smell so pretty. They seem to know that they look and smell better, even though it's quite a kerfuffle to get them cleaned up.

Another hot one for us again today :*: is out and humidity is down but predictions are for more thunderstorms :( On the bright side, everything is soooo green here :)

I feel bad for all the players in the Rogers Tennis Tournament in Toronto. It must be hard to play your best when it is so humid. I think it will be the same for the Women when they play in Montreal next week. August is the worst for heat and humidity out East, especially when you are surrounded by water. :o

The four 2010 Purina Animal Hall of Fame Inductees join
142 heroic animals.

Patty, Westlock, Alberta

A working dog with a heart of gold, Patty is a five-year-old Border Collie mix who came to live on the Jensen family farm when her previous owner was no longer able to care for her. The Jensen's had no idea that Patty would thank them for their generosity by saving one of their lives.
On a cool day in May 2009, Patty joined her owner, Kai Jenson, and his son Allan as they prepared to plant their yearly crop. Kai and Allan worked together on the farm equipment, checking hose connections and looking for loose bolts, before setting to work. Allan did one last safety walk to make sure his father and Patty were at a safe distance from the air seeder before hopping into the tractor cab and starting the machine.
Before Allan closed the cab door to drive away, something strange caught his eye. Usually a mild mannered and quiet dog, Patty began frantically jumping and barking furiously at the two meter/ six foot high door. Allan stared down at Patty as she started running in anxious circles beside the tractor; her actions were so uncharacteristic that Allan began to feel something was terribly wrong.
Stopping the tractor, Allan jumped out of the cab and followed Patty as she raced behind the machine to reveal Kai lying crushed behind the 2700 kg/6,000 lb air seeder. In a heart-stopping second Allan pulled his cell phone from his pocket to call 911; he and Patty spent the next 15 minutes crouched by Kai's side until the ambulance reached the site of the accident.
Shortly after the paramedics arrived, Allan's sister, Karen Jensen, pulled into the farm for what she thought would be an ordinary family visit. Instead, she found her mother, Allan and Patty standing outside the house with grim looks on their faces. Puzzled, Karen asked what happened and found out the terrible news. Her father had been crushed by their air seeder. Horrified, Karen looked towards the field and saw the medical team working as fast as they could to stabilize Kai. Following what seemed like an eternity, the paramedics were finally able to rush him to the hospital where he began a two-month journey towards recovery.
If you ask the Jensens about the accident today, they'll attribute Kai's life to Patty's intuition. In a scenario where every second counted, Patty didn't waste a moment getting help. To this day no one, including Kai, knows exactly how the accident happened.
While Kai can no longer farm due to the injuries he sustained during the accident, he'll call for Patty when he goes outside and they'll walk the grounds together. Wherever Kai is, it's never far from his furry best friend with a heart of gold. After all, this furry friend saved his life.

Here are a few screen caps from last night on the crane cam. The two adults were on the outside of the netting. It's probably #13-2 and #18-2. They had a chick this year but it was predated or died.

Please help the seals of Sable Island

Posted Image

A recent proposal drafted for the Government of Canada would see 220,000 grey seals killed in their Sable Island nursery. It reads like a horror novel: Hunters would storm the beaches at dawn and begin slaughtering baby seals by shooting them in the head with silencer-equipped rifles. Their bodies would be loaded onto dump trucks and transported to portable incinerators where they'd be burned.

To take action to save the seals on Sable Island please send this letter to Parks Canada

ah the cranes <3

No Cheryl - I usually get my plane tickets first of Aug to go to OH for December but I've been quite lazy and finally last night decided to have a look.

With Christmas on a Saturday this year - the flights are crazy AND prices are up.....finally figured out a combo of flying there and back via Phillie that will work for us and not too expensive .... but I was getting worried in my search last night - wasn't looking too good for a bit...

My fault - I should have bought the tickets back in late July/first of Aug - won't be lazy next year :D I've already marked my calendar

BUY HOLIDAY TICKETS IN JULY :)^
