Back Alley Berries In Autumn

The back alleys of downtown Whitehorse abound with raspberries. This is the latest I’ve ever enjoyed them.

The summer was dry so the poplars are expressing different colours as they loose their leaves.

Late summer, Whitehorse community Garden

Because of the long hot dry late summer, all the gardens have done well, including our community garden. I visited this morning to water again. It is amazingly thirsty at this time of year having had no rain and with big plants. I’m really looking forward to another enormous cabbage. And it looks like our sunflowers are actually going to get a chance to bloom. I could’ve sworn that I bought dwarf seeds, but apparently not.

Late Summer Whitehorse Lovelies

We have had an astounding spell of hot dry, sunny weather here in Whitehorse. Many of the annuals and perennials have loved it.

That is our four and a half pound savoy cabbage! We grew on our allotment in the downtown community garden

Camping Week - Haines Junction Way

Some images from a wonderful week camping near Haines Junction, Yukon.

Marsh Lake Awesomeness

It was glorious here in the Yukon this past weekend. So lovely we were actually in the water. 

Sleepy Bee

It’s been raining since last night and this bee took shelter in our apple tree. 

Shwatka Lake

Scapa enjoys her dock diving each morning. 

Tour de Fleece

I’m ‘competing’ in the tour de fleece with the Atlantic Spinners and Handweavers Guild this month.

Clearing the garage

It’s been a long time coming and really needs to be done. 

At least half of it is already out. 

And in the rented sea can. 

Upcycled and displayed

Someone donated fabric and stuff to the guild and I picked up a few bits for the house. 

And a worlds fair cotton lace. 

And some anttmacassars for the chair arms. 

Mend in Public Day

In honour of international mend in public day I have fixed this beautiful lace edged tablecloth to use as a curtain in our kitchen. I haven’t completely fixed it but I’ve repaired the largest rents.

I’m not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. So it’s very definitely visible men.
