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. If they decide to run the article, they will send their fictitious photographer with a really good camera to the Saturday MP house, but we need to convince them first these trees are feature-worthy. The fictitious stipulation for the photos we send it that they need to be under 5 MB. It looks like I’ll need to use Mini-Compressor to reduce the image sizes.

Here is a list of important, yet obvious, things that I would like to point out in today’s post:
Here’s one more thing that’s not obvious, but we need to point out. We’ve re-surfaced from our winter hibernation to discover that our birthday post had a minor mistake. We didn’t turn 6. We turned 5. Still, big dreams. We partied like we turned 6, in preparation for next year.
[Read More]One thing that I love about Mini-Compressor Monday is looking through our expansive photo archive for ‘just the right’ photos to share. Today’s medley features trees and greenery from Christmas present and past. And let me tell ya how quickly nostalgia sets in for those of us with young children!

[Read More]This week we conclude the Mini-Compressor Mondays Real Estate series. You may be relieved if you’re not into fictional real estate. And if you’re looking for more information about using Mini-Compressor to help sell real estate, by all means, give me a shout!
Today’s property is something that’s closer to what we know in our basement-based world: a bungalow with behemoth garden in a mature neighbourhood within walking distance of most amenities. It hardly reads like the palatial monstrosity of our first post, or the sleek urban condo of our second post, but it is a reality and our home, sweet home.
