OH for Pete's Sake!

[Guest guest]

Pete I posted about an hour ago in response to your old potatoes

comment re my Gogli in the mirror or mirror neurons post, and I don't

see it coming through so I'll try my best to reconstruct the gist of

it.

I said that I was glad you had used the term old potatoes and not old

news because I never understood what was meant by that term. How can

news be old? I stated that as far as spuds were concerned that I

positively loved new potatoes: sweet little baby dolls that are in my

opinion the best potatoes in the world. And the best of those best

little potatoes are grown right here in the Sun Parlour of Canada:

Essex County.I said that I was sorry my post was post factum for you

but, that that would be alright as long as it didn't cause post

factum depression. That if that did develop the thing to do was to

take two old potatoes and part'em down the middle where neither one

was. Then you would have post part'em potatoes and no more post

factum depression. I'm gonna listen to Quirks and Quarks this weekend

coming in order to catch up on your old potatoes Pete.

Lovin' them Legumes and Them Tubers Too.

(maybe I can become veggie-tarian)

Yep I do. At the bottom of the Province not far from the

southernmost tip of Canada: Point Pelee. I dont know if you've heard,

but our beloved Pelee has become poinless! That is to say, the

longish stretch of sand that culminated at the tip, has disappeared

this year.That sandspit's southern point was equal in latitude to the

northern border of California. The land mass at the point still is

really.The currents of mighty Lake Erie have been doing some strange

things these past few years. But the Park is still lovely to visit

for to see migrating birds(almost 400 varieties) and of course the

Monarchs and more.Still plenty of deer, coyotes,rabbits,owls(lot's of

pooh pals), opposum, muskrats,geese,ducks, seagulls,terns and many

other varieties of waterfowl..lots and lots and lots. This is a nice

web page from Canadian Geographic

I am close to a town also that boasts Jack Minor Sanctuary which

hosts a raucous welcome to migrating Canadian geese and all manner of

duck and water bird. Living on the shores of the Lke, and almost due

south from that sanctuary, we are often greated with overhead

multitude that sometimes in the spring, land right in front on our

beach, The Spring is the best time to see geese, ducks and migrating

swans. They aren't skittish and fly highs at this time of year as

there is no hunting. Fact is, as I type a large group of swans is

resting on the lake in front, not 20 meters out from shore.

Spectacular. We also have been seeing a number of bald eagles. I've

noted that this year, the two adults that nest nearby and almost

daily fly from west to east across our shoeline, have a new addition

that is learning the ropes as to soaring and swooping. Last year a

golden eagle made a habit of landing on a railing of our front deck.

We never figured out what it was looking for but it was a beauty and

we hope it returns this year. We already have our feeders for orioles

and hummingdirds hung in the back apple tree, the feeders that remain

up overwinter are now being visited by robins and redwing blacbirds

and little finches of many colours. Wow, I'm rambling on and the

sound of many waters rushing and the choirs of nature's undefiled are

filling the outside air. My Gosh!..today they predict 70 degrees

farenheit. Ahhhhhhhhh!! Even the kids on the bus are feeling the

Rapture.

Anyway Silver, yes, I live in the Province of Ontario in a Peaceful

State of Mind. Thanks for inquiring.
