A beautiful day! Spent most of it at the local SPCA volunteering my services to the local home-less pets. Was great to get out and help the "guys"! Still trying to get wood piled,lol! Went for a ride up the French Shore tonight and enjoyed what is left of the Fall colours.Won't be long now they will be gone. Hope everyone is getting out to enjoy whats left of the season!

Man am I lazy! Over a year sense I wrote here so guess its about time I did! Been trying to get ready for winter, doing lots of canning and wood piling...hoping for a mild one now that I'm on my own! Don't want to shovel too much. My dog Elfie and I have been walking the trails in our new home trying to get familiar with the new forest around us. Have spotted lots of wildlife including deer, coyotes, porcupines and numerious birds of all discriptions!
I had a flock of Robins invade my back yard Rowan tree and eat all the berries in just a few hours.I had never seen a flock before so was quite a treat for me!My 2 cats were very interested too but never got the chance to try their luck,lol! Hoping to get some local herbs done too before the frost takes them and have gathered golden rod, aster root and bramble rose hibs for my larder.May need them with all the talk of swine flu!

Walk with Laurie Lacey

Had a wonderful time today! Drove 2 1/2 hours to Italy Cross,Nova Scotia for a Medicine walk with herbalist Laurie lacey. The video is Laurie's companion, Rita,playing the flute for us all.Shes a beautiful tree-hugging gal and I just loved her! We seemed to have lots in common and I hope to be able to spend time with her again soon...There was lots of like-minded persons and wonderful food as well as a delightful walk/meditation in Laurie's forest home. Laurie is the author of 3 books on Native medicine as well as a book on the world of crows...which he has a lot of living on his property! These books are available on Amazon.com
