Discovery Day and Other Tidbits

 

• This is a long weekend in the Yukon and today is a holiday—Discovery Day. I’ve taken advantage of the lovely late summer weather to do things outdoors, including prepping and painting yet another deck. And so the spotty blogging. 
• I have buckets of fresh broccoli from the garden, but no heads on the cauliflower yet. The heads on the cabbage are still quite small, too. Apparently cauliflower and cabbage need more sun than broccoli. I would post photos, but all the digital cameras in the house are being used elsewhere during this long weekend.
  
• Oldest daughter ordered a new iPod, and it arrived last Thursday. According to the Purolator delivery man, her parcel came here along with hundreds of iPods intended for destinations all across Canada, but directed here by the 96W code for Whitehorse printed on them. Hers, it seems, was the only one that really belonged here.

Happy Discovery day! I take it the horse was one of those that came as part of the goldrush?

I love broocoli.
and lol - all those iPods. Your last sentence is poetic - I'm still thinking about it.

Supposedly, and supposedly 33 years old when the photo was taken. The person who archived that photo seemed sceptical of those claims, so take them with an appropriate grain of salt.

Come over for supper and I'll make a big pot of broccoli.
