Bugs, Bikes, and Cranky Baby

Here's a pic I forgot to include last week when I was out at the Wookie's place. I turn over pieces of wood and rocks at every opportunity to see what's crawling beneath and am never disappointed.

And as promised a couple of days ago, the lady slippers from out back. I counted 6 right away but I'm sure there are more as I haven't looked very closely on all the property.

I noticed more blueberry bushes than last year and they're coming along quite nicely as are the plants in my garden. My tomatoes, though are barely hanging on after a "risk of frost" on the 6th of June! Monday was unbearably hot and yesterday was unbearably cool - no wonder the tomatoes were confused.

On the health front I have my six week post surgery checkup today. As I biked 20 k the other day I think I'm OK.

On the fundraising front for the MS Bike Tour, donations are beginning to trickle in. I am DJing at a dance Saturday night with some of the proceeds going to my efforts. I haven't DJed for almost 20 years! It's a "Women's Dance", so only ladies there. It'll be fun for sure and a great opportunity for me to spread the word about the Bike Tour. It should also be interesting as I may be the only straight gal there....I also ran into a couple of very community oriented fellas and have secured sponsorship for our team in the way of T-shirts (we Cycle-delics like to be coordinated on the ride).

And the Wookie and I took cranky Baby out for a bit last night and took these pictures:
Cranky Baby caught in the clutches of the giant lobster at Clearwater Fine Foods, a very community minded company. If you're in the market for seafood shipped world wide, they should be your first stop. Click on the pic to get a better look.

And next door to CFF is Palooka's Gym with this beautiful sculpture out front. Again, click on the pic to get a better look. I'll have to tell you the story of Palooka's owner, Mickey MacDonald, at a later date. He's one of my favourite people in this community.
