I am happy to report that although a wee bit tardy, summer has now arrived on Canada's West Coast! Perfect weather for a veggie harvest.

No, we do not have our garden next to a nuclear power plant. In fact, the zucchini was grown without pesticides or fertilizers. Madeleine thought that it would be neat if we could find one as big as Mirabelle...

Almost!

 Mirabelle lectures her cousin Gwen on the fine art of getting what you want.

 Technique #1: Make sure that when you demand something, you look serious.

 Technique #2: Pouting is a good backup way of getting what you want.

 Technique #3: Don't worry, be happy.
