Happy birthday, Canada!
One hundred and forty two years old, wow! Hot and sunny day, which saw H and me quite busy. We drove over Golden Ears bridge for the first time since it opened, looked at apartments in Surrey and New Westminster, had breakfast with H's brother, and visited my sister and her son in Vancouver. Random images from the day: lovely vintage cars on the highway, huge murals on the walls of the North Surrey Rec complex, a few rough characters on the streets in Surrey, and a ground floor apartment that won my heart but that unfortunately had too little privacy. My sister's new place, which was both cool and bright at the same time in the summer heat that baked the city. Oh, and the HUGE Canadian flag in a car dealer lot in Surrey.
Back at home, the garden was growing fast and rampant, as it has been for weeks, and the mosquitoes were out in fearsome force.

Thanks, Ruth, Haze. It was so hot - just perfect! The joke around here is July 1st was picked to be Canada Day because it's the one day when there is least chance of a frost.
