WAWA, ON – Have you noticed the wonderful effect of those really late “April showers”? They came after the wild strawberry blossoms had developed on ½ inch stems, dande-lions were all of one inch high and my rhubarb had grown all of four inches in the cool, cool days of May. They also [Read more]
GOOSE DROPPINGS Since March 21 has passed, so should winter…right? Also Easter has come and gone. I’ve seen a seagull and heard them. Snow is disappearing. And the real geese should soon return with the Snow Birds, back from warmer climes. Hopefully, with spring will come much more [Read more]
GOOSE DROPPINGS Have you written your letter to Santa yet? It is about that time of year, you know. It is a good idea since those young ‘uns find it harder all the time to figure out a something for “someone who has everything”….and is down sizing anyway. Regardless, cold weather and [Read more]

Being further north maybe a February thaw is more appropriate and probably just as elusive, especially in a winter like this one. And last Friday, February 14, 2014 wasn’t quite there although many of you [Read more]
It’s frozen! The lake, the streets, the car, my fingers and my brain….all so hardened that nothing works well!
