Canada Day we held our 2nd Annual Rainwater Ribfest with the Skjold-Pettersen’s. Here is Lars finishing off the first course chicken wings.
Second course was the ribs.
Lars sinking further into his chair. Having polished off the chicken wings, ribs, Susan’s pulled pork, burgers made with ground beef and italian sausage, bbq shrimps and potato salad we were all stuffed and moving slow.
The girls still taking advantage of the swings.

We have a family of robins nesting in our maple tree in the backyard. It is the first year we have had them. Yesterday when we came back from the baseball game, I let Chloe out the back and she was bounding across the yard, fortunately she did not spot the fledgling sitting on the ground under the tree. We figured we would let nature take its course and left it there undisturbed. We kept the dog out of the back yard for the rest of the day. Here is the mother sitting in the nest.
We think there are still two more fledglings in the nest.
This morning Susan went out and said the bird was still sitting there, later when I took Chloe out it was gone, no where to be seen. Eventually Chloe tracked it down, it was in the back corner garden, the dog was barking at it and the parents were circling overhead. The fledgling made a break for it, the wrong way, eventually it made it over to the other side of the deck towards the front of the house. We thought okay, we can close the side gate and Chloe won’t be able to get it, I threw some evergreen branches in to give it cover. As Chloe and I are sitting at the gate, I could hear it chirping and the parents were keeping a close eye on it. Next thing I know it is hopping past us, again the dog was oblivious to this thing about two feet away. I put up a firewood log barrier to try and lead it back the way it came, but it was just sitting there. Eventually we had to go out. Here is the fledgling that has been all over the backyard.
While I was trying to steer it towards the back garden again, the parents were squawking away, I think they called in their buddies as sparrows were flying around and then we saw this guy on the neighbours back fence. It is a Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus), a medium sized member of the woodpecker family.
One of the watchful parents. When we came back the fledgling was gone and there was no sign of it anywhere. Hopefully it made its way back to the cover of the back garden or actually figured out how to get air borne.
We took advantage of another good weekend and the girls rake up the last of the leaves in the backyard. First they all had to try on the yard waster bag. Can you tell who is who?
Chloe going crazy for the broom. It looks like she is stuck to the broom.
She kind of looks like a little ewok.
A little more calm.
After a longer than usual summer vacation the girls finally reached the last day of summer holidays. Angela and Claudia are looking forward to heading back to school to see their friends and find out who their teachers are. Gillian is a little nervous heading to her first day of high school.
Claudia hanging around with Chloe.
Chloe looking pretty relaxed about the first day of school. Her first day is on the 15th when she starts puppy training school.
Angela is so relaxed about school she can levitate herself.

Gillian went down to the CNE Air Show on Saturday and she said it was really good. I was down at Spadina and Adelaide on Friday afternoon for a meeting and saw and heard them practising. Over the weekend we saw a few planes from our backyard, but I didn’t get any pictures until Monday afternoon. Here is Fat Albert, the US Navy C130 Hercules that travels with the Blue Angels.
Here are the Blue Angels, they are like the Snowbirds. The Blue Angels are based out of Pensacola Florida.
A couple of fighter jets flew over the backyard as well. They were routing most of the commercial airliners to the south East-West runway during the airshow, so it was pretty quiet for most of the afternoon.
Some pictures of the bumble bee that was hanging around our lilac bush.
Claudia showing us her yoyo skills.
Angela.
One more bee shot.
The baby bird is still hiding out on our lawn, it goes from our evergreen to the other and back. There is a robin’s nest in the one evergreen, so whenever the mother comes to feed the bird on the ground the robins start squawking and try to chase away the mother bird.
Feeding time.
Happy Victoria Day, we had a fire in our chiminea and the girls roasted marshmallows. Or as a guy at work called them “sweetened cotton balls”, this guy is originally from Bulgaria, he had his first marshmallow recently and he is 25.
The girls had friends over to roast marshmallows.
As with all good fires, there comes a little smoke with it.
Sue and Mike brought over some sparklers for the girls.
Claudia.
Gillian making circles.
