Where shall WE go today?

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings. - William Blake

Me in winter working mode.

Maddi and I have recently celebrated our eleventh wedding anniversary. Shadow was born eight years ago in South Africa and travelled with us when we moved back to Canada in 1993. Our home is in central British Columbia, an area of trees, lakes and rolling hills called The Cariboo. One of the characteristic wild sounds, heard across the lakes, is the call of the loon. However, part of me will always be connected with Africa, the continent of my birth. One way this shows is through the special connection I feel with the elephant.

Until recently, much of my work has involved growing things: landscaping, running a three-acre vegetable garden, running a hydroponic lettuce greenhouse, and tending our own vegetable plot. I've been doing more caring for and fixing things since I ended my rental arrangement on the hydroponic lettuce greenhouse. I now concentrate most of my "growing" energy on the land around our house which, along with its bird-life, is already proving very responsive. More recently, especially with possible "Millenium Bug" disruptions around the turn of the century, I've made a point of getting to know and participate more in our new community of 108 Mile Ranch.

Everyone enjoys a story - funny or otherwise. I plan to put one or two of my favourites here from time to time. To see the current one, click here.
