A BEAUTIFUL SATURDAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Age means not able to do all things previously enjoyed.

A  blessings is having a loving ,helpful family. 

Yesterday, we made a trip I look forward to at least once a year to Bradford  Greenhouses.

It is thrice jpleasurable.  A drive into real country that used to be within two minutes of my front door. 

Rolling  hills ,well-kept green fields, the breeze from the lake behind the hills "Borne like a zephyr on the soft summer air"

Garden plants are freshly grown,competitively priced and  in great variety. Those out of my 

financial  reach are a joy to behold. They increase in variety every year and are not to be seen elsewhere  in the vicinity. 

Pots, garden ornaments, furniture,and this year a ladies boutique reminding of Granville Island. 

Every year it grows. Of course it gets busier. But the best thing is that it is local enterprise going 

 from strength to strength like things always used to be. 

Effect of York  Region's "Northern Solution " (a sewage treatment  plant on Lake Simcoe)   remains to be seen . if it gets past the environmental process. 

We were a garden party .Heather, Adam and Stephanie. 

Stephanie has two garden composters cooking and two worm culture bins producing all the time. 

Even she was amazed by this Spring's production.  Of course it creates work  but that's all the cost. It is our contribution to the  environmental health of the planet. 

As well, it provides delightful surprises in our garden. 

Now I must go into Wikipedia and discover if snails are an aid or hindrance in the garden. We have a bigger army than Vladimir Putin. 

Stephanie is off to read for a play in Kitchener.
