7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoThanks so much! It's raining here, which is actually wonderful. We've had very little rain in the month of June, with very high temperatures. There's a ban on any fires other than for cooking, at the campgrounds etc.
I don't remember when our Canada Day was the same weekend as Your Fourth of July!!! Happy 4th my dear neighbours.

Happy Canada Day; However, I think my Aloe FAQ was pooched
Comments (8)Dear Tamara, It was false pride displayed and false slight was felt - it just gives some bad information in it (the use of sand), which strikes me as strange as having that information 10 years back, when we Aloe aficionados knew even then of its deleterious effects as a recommended ingredient for a generic Aloe soil mix, one that had to be simple to acquire the parts for and make. Whether you know that I wrote most of it, or don't, is of little matter. I'm happy to update it, but it's got some information wrong that would likely be deleterious to Aloe growing. I approve the adds of the bells and whistles (you got to put the butts in the seats), but the sand suggestion leads me to believe that we Aloe were folk not involved. I could, of course, not be remembering correctly and have written the blasphemous words myself. I of course, as contributor to the first Aloe FAQ, feel a nurturing sense to correct and polish our current version so that it's unequivocal, as written and used, that even an Aloe at the precipice of death can likely be brought back, provided you use a sandless recipe that the community is happy to provide IVillage again, in an effort to make the Aloe FAQ is usable to one and all, particularly those with Aloe vera (the real one, but mainly the non-real ones)....See MoreHappy Canada Day to all our Canadian friends
Comments (2)Thank you Grandms. With the 1st today, Friday, and your 4th on Monday the border crossing at both Buffalo and Niagara have been busy spots and likely to be so all weekend. I trust all our American friends will enjoy their on Monday...See MoreHappy Canada Day
Comments (5)Thank you Theresa!! and I hope your holiday weather is cooler than ours!!! The closest I have gotten to Canada was through EPCOT lol and I love the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. I hope to one day see them in person. While I am so glad we have reason to celebrate our Independence, the heat and humidity makes it my least celebrated holiday! We run outside to put up flags - and run back inside. When my children were smaller I would fight the traffic to take them so see fireworks - sometimes getting home after midnight and getting up early the next day for work. Now it is a peaceful, home in the AC celebration lol! Rosa...See MoreHappy Canada Day!
Comments (6)Thank you! I hope the weather is better elsewhere in this vast country, than it is here. Today it is cool and raining. And Mary's husband wanted to go to the beach. Not so far from here so I doubt it was beach weather for them. We have had rain almost every day for what seems like ages. At Sat. night's church service, the youth choir sang as a closing hymn "Rain Down". So we will blame today on them. Hope it warms up for the 4th for y'all. Theresa...See More
