Keith & Wendy Yeo in Manitoba

Received an email from Keith Yeo in Manitoba.  Good to hear from our Canadian friends!  They've had some rough weather but his backyard looks pretty.
From Keith: 
I have attached a picture of 1 of our flower beds. All the flowers and plants are two weeks behind so some are very short and haven't filled out yet.

Just in case, this is the color green.  lol 
Our weather has not been good, a lot of rain and cool days. A lot of people's basements have flooded. North of us about 50 miles the City of Brandon is diked up in July? to stop the river from flooding their north end.

1 of their main streets they decided not to dam the river in that spot just let the river overflow and close the street.

Farmers to the west of us are under water for the third straight year with no crops.

Farmers 3 hours to our north only got in 25% of their crops.

It is too bad they can't send the surplus to California where it hasn't rained in 3 yrs.
 
Because of the rain the mosquitoes are so bad that you can't stay out in the yard without a lot of body spray. They attack you right now with a frenzy because with such a short life span they need your blood to reproduce.
