The sod arrived! It’s here! It’s lush! It’s soft and green! And it has been laid and watered! So, happy Canada Day and bring on the sunshine! That’s right: we officially have GRASS! Ryan and I spent yesterday moving through the processes of tilling, bulking, smoothing, and enriching the topsoil around our house. Finally, around six o’clock, three palettes of sod were delivered (excellent service and quality, I might add — so a shout out to Gem Sod in Ft. Saskatchewan by the way!) and we got to work laying it. I’ll have photos in a few days. I took a thwack of pics — but as you might have noticed, I haven’t even posted all the Europe images yet! That thought in mind, two links: First, with a humble donation by your truly, acquired a photo gallery of his own and has uploaded a few hundred images. Check it out! Some good shots there — and he’s had time to complete it, too. And I, yes finally, added another set from my collection: Berlin. (Correction: TWO albums today. Also, the long drive across Germany.)

This small collection highlights our last two nights of the tour and another brief stay in one of the (in my opinion) coolest cities in Europe: Berlin. And alas, not even the end of the pics: more to come. |
