Summer barely began here at NFTB and here we are at the end of the rainbow. The roundup includes me buying second hand camera – a Canon Eos Rebel XT - from our friend Brad. Thanks, Brad! Now can you show me how to use it?
Also, somewhere along the way the blog broke, but it was an easy fix. Before school started for the munchkins, we relaxed at our friends’ place near Breton, Alberta, soaking in some sun and some rainbows! A double rainbow, in fact!

Let’s make-believe that the fictitious Alberta Fruit Tree Society contacted Saturday MP to send photos to help them decide whether to feature these amazing fruit trees in a fictitious article.

This little darling came off our apple tree a few years ago, and I couldn’t resist immortalizing it.

There you go! With Mini-Compressor, you get all the sweetness with no quality loss (even with a compression index of 50)
[Read More]This weekend, the SatMP crew headed to the Flying Canoe Adventure. We bundled up, hoping to see some pretty lights, expecting to jump back in the car after 20 minutes. Instead, we stayed for 3 hours and had a blast! We took in horse-drawn wagon rides, kick-sledding, bannock, music, tobogganing, flying canoes and created endless memories!
I sadly only took 3 pictures on my iPhone 4S:
