Late June Update

Third round of chemo on Monday. So far so good - side effects seem to kick in after a few days, so won't plan much for this weekend. Also saw my oncologist, Dr. Burnell, who feels we'll need another round or two before she can tell if it's working.

Picked up our first strawberries of the season at City Market yesterday. With the rain we've had they are quite large but not very sweet - some sun now would really help, which I think is still in the forecast. Week after next we get our first shipment of fresh organic vegetables - we again this year bought a share in a farm on the Kingston Peninsula which is doing Community Supported Agriculture. Week 1 bag will include things like leaf lettuce, green onions, herbs, tatsoi (a neat little Chinese lettuce), beets with greens. We'll continue receiving what's in season for 20 weeks.

Our friend Anna arrives next week from central Alberta with her group of Girl Guides for 10 days in southern New Brunswick, starting and ending at Rockwood Park in Saint John. It will be great to have a visit with her.

Am still getting used to catching sight of a blonde in the mirror!

I'll trade some our sunshine for some of your rain? Deal?

Hugs to you and Harvey
