Without constant watering, my gardens would not have amounted to much. The
weather map showed regular showers heading our way numerous times but the downpours
always fell north or south of us. The corn, wheat and canola grew quickly in the acres
about thirty kilometers away from us whereas the fields we cycled by close to home produced
shaggy stalks that sat unchanged until the rains finally came. Some of the farmers I spoke with
said that their yield was down this year and harvesting was much later.

We stayed close to home in July and most of August, taking a few trips to the beaches in Bayfield,
working on home improvements, gardening and hobbies. It seemed that I blinked in July and it was
Labour Day weekend.
