Everything does look lovely and lush and all those little furry babies - so sweet. We had the strangest summer, it was the hardest summer we've ever had. Even our hardy perennials struggled. All the old timers around here say they've never seen weather like what we've been having and I heard about a big farmers conference in our province where they are talking about the change in climate and sharing ideas on how to adapt their methods - fascinating to see it all unfolding but scary because change happens so slowly and they always talk in 5/10/15 year plans! Food prices are going up and we had such a bad year that we are buying more food that we are used to. Weather and our own resilience are big topics of conversation this winter. I hope your summer is bountiful!!
