Rains bring lush greens!

Sadly, the Conservatives won the provincial election. He is a premier who myopically focused on Toronto, not the entire province, and wants all disabled people off the ODSP program. People who need our support. He is on the side of big business and his rich landowner buddies want to pave paradise, through precious Ontario wetlands, creating a new highway around Toronto (#413) near underused #407, a toll highway. He is cutting budgets and privatizing healthcare, as well, while his buddies earn millions as CEOs.  David agrees with me.

The Liberal and NDP leaders have stepped down. OK, 'nuff said.

Back to Nature

It's been quite rainy over the past few days, not a lot of rain, but cloudy, buggy days. The goldfish pond was overflowing, getting water as it does from the water barrel. Everything is green and lush from the rain. 

The iris are in bloom.

After all the damage by the Spongy Moth (LDD) caterpillars last year, I am happy to see the new growth on our white pines. The photo cannot do it justice, but there are lovely soft green buds at the end of the branches.

I wanted a close up of them, but the bugs are so bad on these cloudy days!

The jack-in-the-pulpit is looking good.
