A trick question: How many summers in one year?

We are now just a few days into summer where we live in Niagara Falls, Canada. Sometimes spring and summer are quite similar here, and they merge into one long and pleasant warm and sunny season. I'll scatter some photos throughout this post, to share some of the lovely sights of summer at our home.

Saying farewell to a prickly centenarian

Why am I starting this post with this photo? Let me at least explain that it was taken at a house sit of ours in Phoenix, Arizona, USA in February of 2015. I'll get back to the reason it's here, later.
