Living in the West and next to an open grassy field, we are treated to some magnificent sunsets! Here is a sampling, different days and different times of the evening! Of course there needs to be numerous clouds to get the full affect and the reflection of colour! Notice the times on some of these photos...10:00 pm! We have long summer days on this latitude! I love to see this at day's end!
My petunia hanging basket has been beautiful all summer. I feed it with Shultz's plant food every time I water, deadhead often and let the sun do its part. Because of frequent winds and dry air, it needs to be watered every day!
It is worth it, however! Beautiful!
Can't take it South, so it will stay in Edmonton
until frost takes over!

Huge Rig from ON
This huge rig arrived on the 22nd, the biggest I have ever seen! 85 feet! Towed by a matching Peterbuilt, the fifth wheel appeared to be a modified Atlas Van Line. It had four slides with full body paint, triple axle and it was a hauler with a huge rear door. They parked in the pullthru 50 amp area and I am told they continually blew the 50 amp breakers. The rear door served as a hydraulic ramp to lower a car from a raised platform or second storey and to remove two bikes stored on the first floor of the garage, and the room when empty was the entrance to the rig thru a smaller man door. The family was young with two young girls and had been fulltime for 2 months.
Dad, a fire rescue worker (Fire Rescue on his T), shared that he had the rig built from the ground up in Texas...everything is bigger in Texas!!!!! At 85 feet, there will be a lot of campgrounds that they would not fit! Can't think of a provincial or state park that would fit them in. I wonder what his fuel costs were, not to mention the big bucks for the rig????? WOW! Provided some good campground entertainment in the hour it took to load and pack up!

Austin Healey Bug Eyed Sprite |
1994 Oldsmobile Convertible |
Took a shot of the Bug Eyed Sprite, although the owner called it a Bug Eyed Frog...don't know why. When I first met and dated Bill, he had a sprite just like this! Wished we still had it!
The Oldsmobile is owned by Sharon, a gal from our park. Larry, her husband, purchased this for her 65th birthday, albeit next year.
The story? Sharon flew out from London ON, to meet Larry for the summer and needed wheels. So he bought her a classic! It is in beautiful shape and she loves it! We do too!
Larry and Sharon are friends of Ron and Sharon Buchner, who are friends of Dwight and Elaine, our friends! Small world! We have met Ron ad Sharon, but don't know them well.
