Well I am currently in a fight against nature... or more specifically with raspberries. We have millions of them in front of our place. The problem is it's a flat area that is perfect for playing but pulling a soccer ball out of the thorns is proving a bit frustrating for the younger generation.

I took this picture of Ty surveying the landscape, I can only imagine what philosophical conclusions he must be coming to.

SO... I am engaged in a battle, I am pulling them up by the roots. In order to appease the gardener within me I am offering these plants to anyone living in Bancroft, Kingston, or points in between. Just comment that you want some and I will bring them when I come through. This makes their sacrifice a bit easier for me to justify.

Wish me luck...

Words can be pretty powerful things. I confess I rarely think about them or even contemplate my use of them... they just are there for my use and exploitation. Lately I have been trying to be more aware of the words I use and the words that interact with me every day.

So here are some of the words I have fluttering in the breeze around me, hopefully they will remind me of how I want to live, how I want to interact, how I want to BE. I confess that I envy others ability to string them together in creative ways, people like Garry, Shannon, and Leslie. But for now I will content myself by being blessed to read the stings of words they create.
