I thought that Fortuitous Friday had a better ring to it that Random Friday…
What better way to start the weekend than to share some pretty pictures that happened to be taken during some important outings over this past summer. It is also a great time to reflect on this past summer as we head further into fall and colder weather.
Alberta Railway museum
There was a typewriter in one of the rail cars that the kids loved. They recognized right away the “keyboard” layout but wondered where the rest of the “computer” was.
Number 5, my personal fav number, from a mailbag that was in one of the mail cars.
Many a hot day this summer was spent making/blowing bubbles and having ice cream on the driveway. What better way to spend a hot summer day that making bubbles and eating ice cream?
Crazy about a mercury… at the Praire Garden & Adventure Farm. This place was lots of fun and there was so much to see and do, we could have went several times this summer if we had more time…
The Praire Gardens had a pirate theme throughout a lot of it, so of course they needed to have their own parrot, at least I think it is a parrot of sorts 
Rain covered roses, with all the rain that we had this summer it was not hard to find these!
3 tree “finger print” mural… that is now a grey painted wall… It is unfortunate that some graffiti cannot be left up.
So long summer, we had a blast and will miss you but we will see ya next year!
Happy Friday everyone!
This year Angela planted a vegetable garden for the first time and I have to say it was awesome! We had lots of fresh veggies all summer long. She also planted sunflowers early in the year and while they did grow super duper tall, they did not flower until just recently. She was worried, and so was I for the kids sake , that they would not flower at all this year.
I think they turned out amazing!
OK yesterday started off like an average Edmonton spring day but the forcast was calling for some “snow”. Hmm by the time I got home there was massive wind gusts and it was indeed snowing. Environment Canada had a wind warning for the City of Edmonton – St. Albert – Sherwood Park. Their website warned “This system is generating strong northwesterly winds of 60 gusting to 90 km/h this evening.” and “will also give significant snowfall to areas of Northeastern Alberta by Friday evening. Snowfall accumulation will be around 10 to 15 centimetres before the snow ends Friday night.” Nice! well I am not going to let it get me down because I know that Spring will still prevail at some point, even if only through pictures for now.
And to think the ducks and geese were just settling in on the ponds out back the last few days. Poor guys!
