Chuck's photo corner to July 26, 2026

It's been a great summer's week, with cooler nights and hot days. Some nights as cool as 12c with most days in the mid to higher 20 c range. I spent half the week in the Laurentians at Rachelle's. We visited Brockville, for grandma (great great grandma) to visit a hearing place, and went to Embrun to see niece Anik sing. All the driving was done in Rachelle's new hybrid vehicle.

daylily

pea

the robins enjoy these red (Korean) honeysuckle berries

another variety of bee balm (bergamot) has come to flower, the leaves of these guys make a great tea

another variety of daylily

another colour of honeysuckle, the birds will go after these once all the red are eaten. These berries ferment easily and often the birds get drunk eating them.

I do enjoy oxalis (shamrock) 

The choke cherry at R's is coming along, when they ripen the birds will consume them as sour as they are.

we are slowly getting there, only two rows of bricks a day can safely be put up which are then held firmly to the wall with boards. We are a day more advanced than this pic.

The old Brockville train tunnel when transportation was primarily done by water and train.
