We went our separate ways this Saturday- Colin to Grizzly Valley, where he helped with another chicken harvest. Lauren opted for a simpler, less grisly day, and stayed home in Mt Lorne with the doggies, and collected cranberries and read Joy of Cooking in the backyard while the clothes dried on the line.

| Fireweed continues to amaze us, with its yellow and red leaves |
 |
| This beautiful plant has an ugly name and personality- Northern Bastard Toadflax is parasitic, taking nutrients from the roots of neighbouring plants by attaching its sucker-like organs to the roots of bearberry and asters |
 |
| Rainbow at the end of our driveway |
 |
| A familiar friend from Tombstone, the red Bird's Eye |
 |
| Cranberries and Labrador Tea |
 |
| Jackpot! |
 |
| A few wonderful hours' harvest |
 |
| I'm calculating whether it's worth quitting my job |
 |
| This is actually not the best time of year for clothesline-drying. The fireweed propagates by airborne fluff, and it gets stuck to our wet clothes :) |
 |
| Our new birdhouse! It looks okay from this distance, but Dad would not be impressed by a close-up photo |
Love Lauren and Colin
