I went online and consulted with Environment Cana...

This column is brought to you by my Facebook friends. And by the letter Q. (For question.) And the number one. The hardest part of writing this column is coming up with the idea. Once I have a kernel of a thought, it’s pretty easy to pound out a few hundred words about it, but occasionally it’s a stretch. Think they did. You be the judge! Fans may remember Ra...

I have a love/hate relationship with our stairs. Actually, that’s not true. I have never loved them, and it would be more accurate to say I fear them more than hate them. Let’s just say I have a healthy respect for them. Since moving into our house almost 14 years ago I have fallen down our stairs three times. I am gifted, apparently. 8221; I said.

Thursday, April 25, 2013. Past Deadline: Birdhouse for Lease. Here is the April 25/13 edition of Past Deadline, published in The Perth Courier. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the glacier covering my patio. And how determined I was to help it along in its slow retreat. Fortunately rain, sun and wind took care of the problem and the ice has disappeared – despite the fact that some days it feels as if winter has returned. I’m talking about the birds. Then I noticed a pair of little wrens. As part of th...
