For the last week the south coast of British Columbia has been basking in a heat wave that resembles that of July and August: we’ve had temperatures in the high 20s to low 30s. (That’s roughly between 80 to 90\u00b0\u00a0F.) So for the last week I’ve spent much time in my garden in the evening with a hose, trying to keep my trees, shrubs, and plants alive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now I have some nice looking trees and shrubs, but I don’t have any topiary. And I certainly don’t have anything that looks like this amazing saxophone, which is located in Mons, the capital city of the Belgian province of\u00a0Hainaut.<\/p>\n
