It’s the eve of Canada Day…and so I end this day with a wish to you all for a very happy July 1st.

This is from last year when we were at Pine Lake for July 1st and we shared in the cake!  Tomorrow we’ll be home and enjoying a bbq I am sure.  And yes, we’ll be picking more strawberries…so on to Sherri’s question from Summer feels like it is here.

Our strawberry patch is only about 6X6 but it faces south and was well fertilized.  At this time of the year the sun rises about 4:30 a.m. and doesn’t set until about 11 p.m. so they have lots of growing time and they are fully exposed to the sun!  And strawberries love sunshine!

In closing I want to give out a shout to our friends in Ontario and BC who will start paying HST tomorrow….from the only province in Canada that has no PST…thus we pay only 5%…GST!
