• Food: Cobble together a peachy dessert treat

  01-09-2017 19:28 via thestarphoenix.com
  It’s that time of year when I’m savouring the last snippets of summer.  The feeling of warm grass underfoot.  The way the light shines through the shimmering trees.  The taste of peach juice, running down my chin.  The smell of a loved one’s neck slathered in sunscreen.  The sound of thunder off in the distance.  Little things, to be sure, but they are what I long for when the snow is knee-deep and I’m tired of being cold.

  My globe trotting parents found in their seventies that jet lag became a real problem to their enjoyment of far away lands. They took to staging their entrance and exit, pausing for two or three days in various ports en route. I thought then and still think that this is a great idea. Why blast straight home from Europe when you can pause for a couple of days in Toronto to get re-acclimated?

• Gardening: Late summer border blues

  Here it is, the beginning of September, and in spite of a stressful summer in terms of hail, a few of weeks of extreme heat and little rain, the perennial border is still going strong. Blue and yellow seem to predominate.

If you mess with the delicate balance of gases in the atmosphere there are bound to be some consequences.
