š¦ High 16CGood morning!My kids discovered Mt. Baker yesterday. We were driving home from Langley a little later than usual, and the sun lit up the volcano at the perfect angle to accentuate its peak against the sky. āLook at the volcano!ā I said, pointing. Then some trees covered it up. The kids spent the next few kilometres waiting for the mountain to be revealed, wondering why it was taking so long for the trees to move.

☀ High 25CGood morning!I need some help, and what’s the point in running a newsletter if I can’t draw on all of your collective knowledge to remedy an age-old family problem? Here’s the issue: I obviously don’t know how to catch a trout from a dock. I assume it can be done. The other day I was standing on a dock with the sign “fishing dock.” My kids had fishing rods in their hands. Fish were jumping nearby. But I knew we wouldn’t catch anything because I’ve never caught anything from land.

My dad grew up in Alberta farm country south of Calgary. As the story goes, his older brother tried farm work, but fled to the BC Interior because his sinuses just couldnāt take all the pollen. His allergies were that bad. My dad eventually followed in his footsteps.
