It was nice while it lasted. But as the weather continues to get warmer, I've noticed a growing number of small creatures gathering. It's coming on blackfly season. It's not a long time frame. Just a few weeks that they are sent to test ...

Garden Time Yet?
There have been a couple days that have at least started me planning. Looking at the garden patch. Thinking about what I might plant there. Maybe even expand the area a bit, because, if nothing else, it gives me less lawn to mow. But I a...

The Stuff You Find
I was reading a story about a woman who found a rather unique fossil while beachcombing recently on Prince Edward Island. It wasn't very big. Only about the size of a quarter. I'm not sure I ever would have noticed it, myself. It was ju...

Don't Believe Anything
This has been a bit of a confusing day. It started great. But now I'm not sure what to believe anymore. It's St. George's Day, the day to honour the patron saint of England. It's also English muffin day. So I was thinking I could honour...
