Pigeon Stalker

I stalked pigeons this morning in the barely-above-freezing rain, trying to get a decent picture to show Dani that they really are pretty here. The bird brains are, however, wiggly, so I have less-than-convincing pics. There will be more pigeon stalking.

Ponchos

Nieces in ponchos.
Same nieces in same ponchos when they were new in 2007 (the ponchos, not the girls).

Fathers Day

 We went on the streetcar today, Dad and I ... through Old Strathcona, under a building, across the High Level Bridge to Jasper Ave, and back again. 



We went to the Little Royal Gallery and looked at old photos of Edmonton from the Provincial Archives. We walked through Old Strathcona and found the houses he used to live in. We drove through Skunk Hollow and then went for lunch at the New York Bagel Cafe. Sure, we had a fambly gathering on Father's Day proper (or thereabouts), but now's when we've had time to go on an adventure together. It was great! Happy Father's Day, Dad

Bounty

Whack o'zucchini from MJ on Monday and two grocery bags of kale from her last night.

Drive-by zucchini, green beans, glass jugs, and eggs drop-off by Neen this morning.

I see kale chips, Hail to the Kale salad, and, after I pick up cheese and spuds from the market tomorrow, frittata.
Thanks, ladies! You truly rock.

Helpless

Folk Fest(s) rehearsal at Expressionz. Jordan suggested Helpless for the finale (after Alex suggested doing something Canadian) ... great call! It sounds great and gets Trevor in the spotlight a little bit. Dheano's doing a fabulous job Music Directoring.
