Not Quite Ripe, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl. We’re going to have loads of tomatoes. Everything takes a little longer to come on at our place. I think it’s our elevation, though who can know for sure. I can’t wait until these babies are ready. Here come the tomato and mozzarella sandwiches. Yum!

Butchart

Butchart, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl. Tuesday afternoon we headed to what is probably considered to be one of the main attractions near Victoria, Butchart Gardens. Only Karen had been there before, and she’d not seen it in bloom, so it was sort of a new experience for all of us.
