Sunday, November 29, 2009. 2009 is my third year of gardening. In a jumbly garden, on a rainy day in early June, my first iris unfurled. It grows beside spindly roses and rambunctious oregano. Saturday, November 28, 2009. Scratchboard is made from poison ivy leaves and causes frantic itching. Although that last sentence is a fib, it does sound plausible. Friday, November 27, 2009.

Winking Toad: October 2009
http://winkingtoad.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 31, 2009. Eerily close to Halloween in 1989, a prestigious Ottawa kennel reported a theft or perhaps only a comical if unauthorized trade.

Sunday, September 27, 2009. Grampa always wore a formal, reserved smile when photographed. I studied how he smiled, and relying on memory and a few stiff snapshots, drew this portrait. He was my Grampa-by-association, and he told stories with panache. Saturday, September 26, 2009. Friday, September 25, 2009. Perched o...
