Well, it’s June, and that means it’s time to thin the ol’ apple tree. I knew it’d be a big job–after landscaping trauma she’s in a boom-bust cycle, and this year is a big one–but wow. Four hours and a full 20L pail later…
A beautiful day for a training ride! As a reminder, the second of three draws in the hand knitted sock raffle is coming up in June 19th, so donate now to get in on the action:

Apologies to my donors for the late update, but I’m excited to announce the winners of the first round Tour Alberta for Cancer raffle draw: Liz Fox is the winner of the first pair of socks, while Howard Fiderer won the stuffed gnome! Thanks to their generous donations and the contributions of many others, I’m at over $1100 of my $2500 goal and slowly climbing!
But don’t despair, there’s still two more draws to come for a pair of socks!
