My first overnighter on the bike

One of the reasons I started this blog was to tell everyone about my experiences since coming to Canada. I've had lots of fun adventures with Terri and her friends. Something they do a lot of is ride bikes. They ride everywhere! I've mentioned some of my bike trips in a previous blog, but this one is about my first overnighter on the bike. We rode the Lochside and Galloping Goose trails on southern Vancouver Island. Here's a video of our trip. It's really only about 3 minutes long, but Terri & Dan went a little crazy with the credits at the end...

Enjoy. Run hard, be strong, have fun.

Tomato picture!

Here I am on top of the tomato plants! You can see one of the tomatoes is ripening. That is a "Super Fantastic" tomato. There is also a ripe "Cherry Red" tomato and a ripe "Champion" tomato - both are ready to be picked! Can't wait to try them out.

Tomatoes

The tomatoes are growing like weeds!! I can't wait to show you pictures of them. One of the cherry tomatoes is turning red! I'll be able to eat it soon. I'll bug Terri to help me take some pictures to show you. She also has pictures from the last couple of trips to Birken that she needs to post for everyone. She's rather behind in things to do with the computer these days. Although, she has been very busy in the kitchen. She made a plum crumble and a self-saucing chocolate pudding for the freezer. She also canned 10lbs of cherries and made rhubarb liqueur. Mmmmmm.... can't wait to try everything.

Run hard, be strong, have fun.
