Alberta Wildflowers

We haven’t been spending much time at the trailer this summer. On our first trip in a month, mid July, the wildflowers were incredibly beautiful.

Once we got settled in and the fridge packed, it was time to walk around and enjoy the beauty. Wish I could say I knew the names of the flowers, but no.

There were so many splashes of colour.

We also had strawberries. It would take an awful lot to fill a tablespoon, but they sure packed a tasty punch.

At one end of the property there is a marsh. We don’t see very many animals, but it is the perfect place to have morning coffee when the temperature starts dropping.

While everything was lush and green at this point, it did not last long. There is a full fire ban in effect and has been for a while. You could practically watch everything turn brown.

When there is work to be done you can’t keep a good man down!

It has been too hot to even use the propane fireplace. Survival for me means moving from one shady spot to another as the sun progresses across the sky. That too shall pass.
