Whew!

What a year and I am bloggin again, must be February!! Seed catalogues, nursery catalogues and other remnants of trade shows and mail box findings are at my feet. Honestly though, I have had time only for the nursery catalogues. I need to go through my seed orders and see what I want to plant for next year. . . I have saved some gourd seeds, Cinderella pumpkin seeds and other that I liked from last fall. Also a lot of native flower seeds. This year I am continuing on my trend here to plant for the pollinators, butterflies and birds. As they are struggling still.
A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to visit The Owl Foundation in Vineland. It is not open to the public and I only got the opportunity because Audrey Wilson was taking an injured Barred Owl to Kay McKeever's centre.

It's All About Water again

We have to protect our freshwater and it seems that our governments are not quite up to the job or they just don't get it. They are not doing enough and we need to take action on this right now or our children and grand children will suffer the consequences of our ignorance. This shames me because I was of a generation that was going to change the world. Instead we became a SUV driving, selfish 'me generation' instead of environmental friends I had hoped for.
What I don't get is, we have the largest resources of fresh water in the world

Wow! Talk about action, President Obama must be reading my blog! I am glad someone is and that President Obama is listening. Let's hope and pray Ottawa jumps on board, but I am not getting my hopes up with the current situation in Ottawa, they are still in denial that the tar sands are an environment disaster. As I said before it's about $$. When will the far right realize that there is money in cleaning up and living as clean and as green as we possibly can.

WATER and it's future & our future

This is about WATER. I wish to not be an alarmist but I am concerned about the body of water to the south of me called Lake Ontario & it's siblings, which collectively are named THE GREAT LAKES and the filtering system that feeds into it. This basin of water & it's huge filtering system is the place in which I live. I am concerned because it is how careless we are with the water that we have. I live in a small village and my house sits on a very moist filtering system. This is clearly event first by the creek that flows at the very back of the property.
