Amazing Summer

We've had a great summer here in the Highlands. OK there were times when it could have been warmer, and it was slow to take off in July. But today it is sunny and hot, and it seems like summer may never end.
We were a little nervous about how it would go for us at Bwana Johns. We sold the building that our store was in, last fall, so instead of the four stores we had last summer, we have only two this year.
But after a little thinking outside the box, we decided to create our own market place in the parking lot of our "World Headquarters".

The day before Canada weekend we got the sign up. A small garden under it to brighten things up, and the tents erected.

It seems that we had enough colour and interesting stuff outside, that it was impossible for anyone to drive past with out stopping to see what was happenin'.

So in the end we had a great summer here.

A few times it got a little exciting when a storm blew in, and the tent and tables threatened to blow onto the neighbours, but mostly we survived.

In only a few more weeks summer is officially over, and the kids are back at school. Holy smoke, how did the summer go by so quick!

 

I have seen a lot of you out on the streets wearing Bwana Johns garb. I would have liked to have photographed you all and featured you on this site. But I was late coming to the idea of this blog site, so I missed some of you. I'm still hoping to capture a few shots yet, and post them here in the future.
