Dave and Bullwinkle arrived today with the assistance of a good Samaritan! Sam came upon Dave with broken leggs and called STARS
Here is Dave with Nurse Bonze he is a little bit on the woozy side but will be good as new soon.
The Chronicles continue in Edmonton!
Dave and Bullwinkle decided the medication helped and wanted to have a quick look at the Farm.
The Boys were introduced to Cap, Jagonjunes faithfull companion.
Misunderstanding everything Cap showed the Boys her biggest treat.
Cap decided to let the people help and the Boys headed for the garden.
Some of the planters at the Farm
Of course a visit to Alberta's own Ogopogo was a must.
Please pardon the sideways photos I don't seem to be able to switch them. I will take the sideways ones to work and do them there.

Spending some time in the giant Nicotiana was a challenge
Angels trumpets and petunias, good farm flowers.
Cheerfull poppies
Jagonjunes tomatoe jungle
The Boys loved these Sweet Gold Tomatoes
At a working Farm it's not all play so the Boys got to work.
They Helped with the Hay,
And with watering the Horses . This is Art watering and Fred meeting the Boys who are being held by jagonjune.
The Boys wanted to watch some Jumping. Here is Jagonjunes neice on Twinkles
Both Boys wanted to have a ride on Joey, Nurse Bonze advised that without his feet it was best if Dave gave it a pass. Bullwinkle was ready to have a turn and got right up there.
Nurse Bonze has advised that Dave needs his rest so the Boys will be hitting the hay!
This will also give me time to figure out the sideways photo thing.
The Fringe in Old Strathcona starts this weekend and I know the Boys will be ready for lots of new experiences.
Cheers for now.
Ann
Wonderful pics annabell .. you and JJ have certainly shown the boys a good time so far :-)
Too Bad about Dave's legs .. sure glad Nurse Bonze was able to pull an 'orthopedic miracle' :-)

The above link was on CNN this morning .. kinda interesting .. all about "MURPHY' a travelling Gnome from the UK .. perhaps a cousin to Dave ? :-)
Hope it works for ya ..

hahahaha too cute - reminds me of an episode they had on Coronation Street years ago, where the same thing happened. Someone stole a gnome, and kept sending letters of it's travels........ unfortunately they they ransomed the gnome to the owners, but they eventually got it back, so............. all's well that ends well!
:D Anne you've captured the essence of the prairies very nicely!
Good to see you folks again and I'm still LOL at Nurse Bonze and marveling at the tiny little intravenous bag!

"Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, (nor broken feet) stays these courageous couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." I'm amazed at Dave's fortitude! Whad-a-guy. Bet he'd like to ride a horse on an Alberta ranch before he leaves, though.
Great pics, Ann!

Dave's surgery was super he now has his feet back thanks to some wooden dowels and great glue!
Here are the Boys on a walk about in my garden going down the garden path.
The Boys thought this was a bit of a Jungle.
Climbing the highest mountain to get a better view of the Canna's.
Maybe this would be a better way to see the Canna!
This cat is a bit prickely Dave , I think I'll get down now.
These a prickles I recognize, that Pony cactus was purchased in Calgary last year and it's still here.
Wow this is some view how did we get here ? and why is Sam the samaritan here with us?
We better think back and remember what happened this weekend.
Sam said we met up in Ann's garden for a beer and sat on a trailer fender and I don't remember the rest??
Ok Boys it's ok...while you all slept we drove to my Mom's to give her the gift of our time in her garden why don't you have a look around.
Checking out Mr Turtle
This is my favorite metal flower. Check out how far you can see from up top.
Here are some hypertufa's that Mom's good friend made for her.
Wow this view is amazing and the Guard Bear is huge!
At the end of a busy day and the Sun is setting in the foothills.
Back to Edmonton and Ann's garden.
The Boys check out the rocks that Jagonjune transported to the dry stream bed.
This Licorice or Creme Brule is not for eating but I have managed to overwinter a couple of zone 5 Huchera's.
In Exploring the Boys entered the Bad Lands of my yard and Bullwinkle checked out to see if anthing was in this (ceramic) head.
My dog Cleo rescues the Boys and let's them have a rest.
Mrs Polack, the geranium which I overwinter inside, shows off the Boys before they go to bed.
What a fun bunch of pics, Ann! So glad Dave is mobile again. Good job on the leg-mending. I especially like the view from the birdbath and the one with your dog, Cleo. I wonder if we'll have to give Bullwinkle a bath by the time he gets here. He sure is a curious one!
