http://leftcoastjeaneb.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Life on the Left Coast. Still East West and Upside Down. The Fuchsia Ranch and Pot House. 4 Years in Asia. Tuesday, October 30, 2012. At 9:00 on Saturday night I had a call from a very bleary-sounding Number One Son, calling from Ottawa where it was midnight. "Did you hear about the earthquake? And more big ones are to come. Monday, October 15, 2012. The Pepper (uh) Grinder. So to offer it at that point is retarded. Secondly, why should someone else be grinding this stuff (with this 2 foot long phallic s...

Life on the Left Coast. Still East West and Upside Down. The Fuchsia Ranch and Pot House. 4 Years in Asia. Thursday, November 29, 2012. The Moon and Jupiter November 28 2012 Source. November is the worst month", my mother-in-law, who lived on this Wet Coast for many years, used to say. I used to find that quite astonishing as for me, living as I was in eastern Ontario, January was the worst month. So much so that my life's ambition at the time was to spend the entire month of January in the house. When I...

Life on the Left Coast. Still East West and Upside Down. The Fuchsia Ranch and Pot House. 4 Years in Asia. Friday, June 29, 2012. Thursday, June 28, 2012. Last Sunday was International Fairy Day. I'm not making this up, although someone obviously did. In celebration, Milner Gardens, a well-known Vancouver Island botanical garden just down the road from us (isn't everything? This one has a private dock on a pond with a rope ladder up to the front door. We're annual members of Milner Gardens and I got an e...

Life on the Left Coast: April 2012

Life on the Left Coast. Still East West and Upside Down. The Fuchsia Ranch and Pot House. 4 Years in Asia. Friday, April 6, 2012. The future father-in-law of Dustin Hoffman's character in The Graduate (1967) advised him to get into plastics, as that was the future. Good advice it would seem. Today the earth and the oceans are littered with it. What is this compulsion to walk around carrying a plastic bottle of water? Japanese ghost ship spotted off Haida Gwaii. I was out raking the lawn in the front gard...

Life on the Left Coast: Back to the Bunkie
http://leftcoastjeaneb.blogspot.com/2012/11/back-to-bunkie.html
Life on the Left Coast. Still East West and Upside Down. The Fuchsia Ranch and Pot House. 4 Years in Asia. Monday, November 26, 2012. Back to the Bunkie. Here's the theater back home, ready to be started. To create this sneak preview I propped up Dusit's scenery backdrop, placed the actors that I costumed last winter and for good measure balanced a couple of cardboard rolls on children's blocks - this is a Venetian play after all, and marble columns are in order, no? This is where the inspiration no doub...

Life on the Left Coast: September 2012

Life on the Left Coast. Still East West and Upside Down. The Fuchsia Ranch and Pot House. 4 Years in Asia. Saturday, September 22, 2012. It appears that this is a new season, an in-between summer and fall season. It very clearly is not summer. Although sunny and warm in that sunshine, at night those 20-something temperatures fall to lows of 8-9 and boy is it brisk out there as I venture out into the dew with coffee in hand to see what's happened overnight in the garden. The Fuchsia Summer GreenHouse.

Life on the Left Coast: December 2012
http://leftcoastjeaneb.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Life on the Left Coast. Still East West and Upside Down. The Fuchsia Ranch and Pot House. 4 Years in Asia. Tuesday, December 11, 2012. This reminds me of what I don't. Miss about working life. I'm very happy and supremely content with getting up in the morning and doing whatever I want. Playing. Retirement is grand. One thing though. Retirement implies having a pension, no?

Life on the Left Coast. Still East West and Upside Down. The Fuchsia Ranch and Pot House. 4 Years in Asia. Wednesday, November 7, 2012. So the real news of the election yesterday were the votes in Colorado and Washington state to legalize recreational pot. Labels: Odds and Ends.
