A Pool one wheelbarrow at a time!!!


Off to work again....It has started to rain which is good on 2 fronts and horrible on another.  First it is cooler and I can work a little easier, plus everything is getting very green and growing new shoots everywhere.

But the mosquitos.....whack,whack,whack...ouch.

I have added some new herbs to the garden and planted some nasturtium and chive seeds.  I had some squash and watermelon plants but something kept eating them...nothing seems to eat the herbs though.


I have recently added a stone path through my yard...connecting the whole thing nicely....

It is funny here....I can grow almost nothing from a seed, however,  if you break a piece of a plant and put it in the ground there is an 80% chance it will grow....so I am collecting plants and shoots off plants especially if they are edible to increase the offerings in my garden.  I did manage to start corn from a seed but it is now in my depression and I do not believe I planted it there.






Some updated pictures of the rest of the place.   I did a super clean up in preparation.......for what you ask???

700 Hours of Learning....start now!

Here goes I am embarking on a two year adventure into myself and the world around me through yoga, massage, coaching and other modalities.  With this journey comes a great reading list and journaling.  This is not something I have ever been able to keep up, with much regularity, as you can see from my posts here.....lol One day I may succeed as I continue to practice for the next two years. I have received the reading list and am happy to have just finished Yoga Sequencing:  Designing Transformative Yoga Classes by Mark Stephens.  This book was suggested to me and for obvious reason, it is incredibly informative.  As a beginning yoga teacher it provided great pictures and foundations for infinite classes that I am now able to create.  It will continue to be on my bookshelf as an excellent reference,and I could reread it still getting useful information a second or third time.  Now I will delve further into this genre of reading with Yoga Anatomy by L...

My Cup O Tea

Over the years I have become a fan of tea.  My favourites are non-caffeine.  Green Teas, herbal teas and rooibus.  Almost any loose leaf tea will do.  I once got chamomile tea from a friends parents and it was really just a whole baggie of chamomile flowers.....it was from a place in Sarnia, Ontario but I am not sure exactly where.  It just seems so much fresher when you can recognize it by sight.... In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....
