The devil made him do it

Mr Cooper is not a fan of rainy days trapped indoors.

The perfect pear/pair

A very special thank you to our friends Richard and Christine who had us over for dinner on Monday and made the most beautiful (AND tasty!) pear tart.

Give a hoot

Went for a walk in the woods yesterday and well, I'm a guy, and I needed to pee. I stepped off the trail to take of the situation. Midway through, I felt like I was being watched. I looked up and saw this guy. Very thankful it wasn't a bear.

He's learning...

Caught "red pawed".

A bad sign

It's time to head south.

4 Layer Coconut Cake

4 layer coconut cake, recipe from Bobby Flay. Totally low calorie... except for the 2.5 lbs of butter.

Blueberry pie

Homemade blueberry pie / tarte aux myrtille. In Canada, my pie is bilingual.

Jammin'

Raspberry/rhubarb jam today. 20 jars. (Also 14 jars of blueberry jam, after the pickles.)

It's Pickle Day!

Thanks!

Thanks Calgary, we'll be back!

Hokey Pokey

You put you right foot in, you put your right foot out... That's what it's all about! 

Stampede

They've had the high water, I guess we're bringing Hell? 

It begins...

"Cruise Canada"

Um... Okay. (Glacier National Park)

Not interested

Mr Cooper says, "So this is what it's like to be in the zoo."

Moo

How'd I get outside?!?

It was breezy on the hour and a half hike tonight.

Good morning!

Raspberry fields forever.
