Them's My Sentiments: September 2013
http://themsmysentiments.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, 26 September 2013. No More Pine Tree. The pine tree perch for the wireless node has been superceded by a genuine, bolted to the rock tower. Here you see the intrepid climber fastening the last piece in place. We are all hoping that the next storm will not cause any more fried electronics - the tower is grounded! And here are the crazy climbing guys mugging for the camera. I can't believe there is no camera shake in this one, as the pair of them were terrifying me. Links to this post.

Them's My Sentiments: Dogged
http://themsmysentiments.blogspot.com/2015/07/dogged.html
Tuesday, 21 July 2015. Note to readers: this blog is in large part a record for my granddaughter and so this is a long and somewhat tedious catalogue of life-with-dogs as a record for her. Feel free to quit reading after four paragraphs. A policeman arrived to investigate and I took him to the kitchen to see Rusty who, shameless beggar that he was, lay down on his back and waved four paws at the cop, inviting a belly rub. End of incident. One spring night we arrived at our rural property and he wrenched ...

Not so grand reopening. Driftwood (friday foto finder) →. Distorted views through ice. April 2, 2015. Part of what was keeping me busy over the last few months was winter. It was a long hard winter. There was so very much ice and snow. Record-breaking quantities of snow. It’s really quite hard to reconcile this sparkling beauty with the knowledge that it was the herald of thousands of dollars worth of damage to the house. This entry was posted in life. Not so grand reopening. April 3, 2015 at 12:23 pm.

Newer posts →. December 9, 2015. A festive holiday ball that someone dropped in an icy parking lot a couple of years ago. (I’m happy to say that this year, we haven’t yet had more than a few stray flakes of snow. I know it’s coming, but I’m not ready for it yet. I’m still recovering from last winter.). So much for trying to blog daily for the month of November like I’d done the past 7 years. Not only did I drop the ball. November 26, 2015. The turkeys didn’t visit us today, which is Thanksgiving in...

Them's My Sentiments: November 2014
http://themsmysentiments.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 10 November 2014. Thinking Grateful Thoughts about Gratitude. So, thanks to my tagger, Jane Paul. I had my reward in doing the exercise. And so would anyone. Most of those who read me have done it, I think, but if you have not, you are tagged. You’ll be glad you did. Links to this post. Friday, 7 November 2014. Bits and pieces of posts that didn’t get finished. And are now sadly out of date. Too bad. I got a superb dinner out of it, though, as it is JG’s 75. By JG and dumped into piles to compost...

Them's My Sentiments: Just after the Ides of May
http://themsmysentiments.blogspot.com/2015/05/just-after-ides-of-may.html
Monday, 18 May 2015. Just after the Ides of May. Spring in Lanark, much as usual except for low rainfall, although we have rain forecast for today. Having typed that, I looked out the office window and saw rain falling. And I meant to get the seed patches in before it started. Ah, well. It is Victoria Day. Here in Canada. We celebrate the Queen’s birthday on the first Monday before the 24. JG has been out hunting porcupines, with a view to keeping the YD’s dog out of the hands of the vet. I love taking t...

Them's My Sentiments: Switchover
http://themsmysentiments.blogspot.com/2015/07/switchover.html
Wednesday, 15 July 2015. The dog and cat have gone home after somewhat over four weeks with us. The grandkid has arrived (a bit of overlap) for a week and her friend will arrive Friday for the weekend. I have not looked beyond next Monday. Tomorrow is boating day. Lots of sandwiches, drinks and snacks. Worms. Her bedtime, and mine. Lovely to be needed. 16 July 2015 at 07:27. 16 July 2015 at 08:26. Well wave as we boat by. I havent stopped for a while but it is great scenery from the water. A Mom, a Blog,...

Them's My Sentiments: June 2015
http://themsmysentiments.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 23 June 2015. June Bugs, and other Facile Observations. We have too much grass. It has been warm and rainy, interspersed with beautiful sun, and the grass is growing so fast JG is mowing like a mad man and still not keeping up. This weather has also caused the flowers to come ahead fast and we already have orange lilies in bloom, along with the late iris and all sorts of wild flowers. My white lilac was loaded, early. Watching another series of thunderheads whisk in. We do not need more rain!

Saturday, 14 June 2014. More Poetry Last Month. A COUNTRY WITHOUT A MYTHOLOGY. By Douglas Le Pan. No monuments or landmarks guide the stranger. Going among this savage people, masks. Taciturn or babbling out an alien jargon. And moody as barbaric skies are moody. Berries must be his food. Hurriedly. He shakes the bushes, plucks pickerel from the river,. Forgetting every grace and ceremony,. Feeds like an Indian, and is on his way. And yet, for all his haste, time is worth nothing. Wild-rice, stumps, weed...
