Canada wins Gold Cup!
Some people say we're losing our hockey, personally I don't agree, but if it's the case we can always turn to soccer. Well, as you've probably heard, Canada has just won the Gold Cup. Some say it was just lucky, I say they played well and deserved the Cup, but it did start with luck. They had to win a coin toss to get into the playoffs.

Juneau: Cruising the inside passage Pt 2
Our first port of call on the Alaska cruise is Juneau, capital of Alaska, geographically the largest city in the US and the first town to be founded due to the gold rush.

Vines - Part 4
I grow several vines on purpose and a few unwelcome ones bestowed by Mother Nature. One species starts out very shrub-like, another twines, some are annuals. Some thrive and bloom in shade and some will grow but not flower. There are also vines in my past and some that I hope will be in my future. My garden would be incomplete without the soft high notes of vines.

Vines Part 6 - More Ivy Plus
Ivy is an remarkably variable plant. Leaf size, shape and coloration differ tremendously among cultivars, most of which have been found as mutations rather than having been bred on purpose. Not only do cultivars vary, individual plants, depending on their level of maturity, can have leaves that bear almost no resemblance to others growing a few inches away. There are also other vines I grow or want to grow plus a lot of photos and images in this article, so please be patient while it loads.
