This plant is aptly named. When I got home I was greeted by the pleasant, full yet delicate aroma of the planter full of these tiny flowers. the honeybees surely like them. Tonight’s gentle rain shower is providing a nourishing drink.

Along Came A Spider
This fellow (or lady, I am unsure which) has taken up residence inside an empty rain barrel. After about a dozen photos, some with flash, it tired of the attention and climbed its web and hid under the rain barrel lid.
Moving day
The Goderich CPR railroad station is a very neat structure. The last train pulled out around 50 years ago and the building has been little used since. An entrepreneur has bought it with the idea of transforming it into a restaurant. As a paft of the plan it is being moved about 100 meters closer to the beach. As you see it is ready to go and I understand the move is planned for this week.
I think it’s a good plan and hope it transforms this wonderful building into something more than something to drive by, and to visit during the occasional art show.

Rain
Since i have the smoker going, the rain should start at any time.

Squash!
Our butternut squash are coming along nicely. We may have five or six.
Dinner
Last night we had kohlrabi ‘fries’, sliced baked vegetables – baked potato, chocolate cherry tomato, zucchini, finely diced onion with cheese – and the star, sweet corn bought direct from a farm just outside town. The kohlrabi, zuke, and tomatoes came from our garden. Delicious!

Morning
Spending a few precious, peaceful moments on the deck.
