Good morning! Hope everybody is well! For plant sales, waste collecting, for hopes that the smoke stays a thin haze, rather than the stuff that made breathing difficult for many, for all the other thoughts that arise, we bring them with us as we gather at the Coffee Cart, for conversation and support, connection and camaraderie, over tea, coffee, and doughnut holes. The coffee is freshbrewed, tea water is boiling, and tea bags ready, and doughnut holes warm, and freshly poked out of the doughnuts. All is ready, all are welcome. Come in and join the conversations!

Yahoo! Today was my last day at wound care and it is the best birthday present ever. I’m told not to do any heavy lifting or pushing or stretching for awhile though. I’ll be patient just a bit longer…

Happy birthday Nancy with hope for it to be filled with joy. Good news for the infection cure.
 
Happy birthday Nancy. Continued good healing to you.

This is AGM for Pacific Mountain Regional Council weekend. It started yesterday afternoon. The keynote speaker is going to be great. She started off well yesterday. Still, it's going to be an exhausting weekend. I got there and learned I wasn't on the list even though I had registered. Apparently I wasn't the only one. I'm a voting member so they got my email to put on the list. Voting is electronic. I'll be double checking that today. I was also supposed to be given the info on how to connect to the meeting by the Zoom clone. I didn't get that.

I was active in our Presbytery. I miss that group. They were a good bunch, even @GordW. This seems like a good bunch too. Just different
 
Happy Friday, all!! And Happy Birthday, Nancy!! Glad you're on the mend.

We had servers blowing up around here (figuratively, not literally) last night so it's been a bit of a nutty morning at work.

Oh, that Gord character? Man, I don't know why we keep him on the mod team. :unsure:;):giggle:
 
Smoke has now rolled into this town. Hardly surprising with the news we are getting from the grapevine about friends farms and cabins under threat nearby. 1,500 or so evacuees are sheltering here, which makes the town look quite busy and bustling. Our son popped in for a visit after delivering water tanks to a friend who fears the fire will get to his home. He lives at and runs a small resort on the local lake. Apparently an outfitter had the fire go right through his home and yard.

Through all this I keep thinking of those who had to run from Flin Flon, leaving everything behind.

We continue to need rain. .
 
Why is there an aggressive man on every pious person's mind that is said to be able to save the world while saying things that cannot be proven ... usually disproven and yet people believe him. Why do people believe this even through they have quieted down in the support of this man ... and become slick and yet say the demos are slick? Some say this is like a worm in the tree of knowledge and wisdom ... it has a yellow head a red-blond halo ...

Edicts ...

Is something really thrown into chaos by a series of this slick item that is not quite virtuous ... sort of a bunch of stuff that is not able to prove one way or the other because it just not negatable! Lies are real things that are collectively gathered in if you do not query the source.

Can one query a source that is hard to believe? Beyond me why real folk go on this pathEH!
 
Good morning! Happy Saturday! For the last day of wound care, for continuing recovery, (and for happy Birthdays) servers misbehaving, smoke beginning to roll into towns, Annual General Meetings season, for all the events and thoughts that come up today, we gather around the Coffee Cart for discussion and support, connection and community, and or course, tea and coffee. This morning the bakery has deliver chocolate eclairs for us to enjoy. The tea water is boiling, the coffee is freshbrewed, and eclairs are warmed and ready. Come in and enjoy the refreshments and share in the conversations! Allis ready and waiting, all are welcome!

From another chord, thread or string on human stupidity as commented upon by Bonhoeffer ...

Is there a hole, or void in the dark, unknown intellect? Like a great white Ayre in the shadow of night ... so saith "I" ... that inside vision ...

Speak of alien views ... and then the comments by economists and moderate Republicans about the enemy within ... Doul-A ... one good one bad and your choice ...

Some say a Duol-a is like a naturopathic practitioner within a homeopathic Dr. Thus we kill ourself laughing over wasted parts ... prodigal eh? Some military type see the item departing ... like the characters in Fiddler on the Roof ... Russia 'n peasants on the move? It is a perspective from the po' side ... one must read into the item of idealization when the old books warn about idols ... yet it is so difficult to be humble (nemesis) ... what's up Doc ... comes down ...

Dandelion or cat tails ... the hypo side chuckles ... subtle?
 
We have friends that left the Saskatchewan side near Flin Flon before they were evacuated. They live in their motorhome, so can take their home with them. Another friend should be in Bissett, MB today or tomorrow. She's heading there for a memorial service. I believe the fires are near there too. I wish we could send our rain that way.

Today is AGM day again. I had my treatment yesterday afternoon so will be tired today. It's also our wedding anniversary. Hubby suggested we go for dinner somewhere. I might be able to do both a day of AGM then a dinner. Dinner may need to wait to tomorrow.
 
I'm doing fine. It's a good meeting. I am flagging a little but will make it through to supper time without issue.
 
Belated happy birthday to Nancy and end of wound care best present ever. We often don't appreciate our health until it is challenged. And happiest of anniversaries to the Northwinds!

Woot for me. Plant sale is over for another year. Made over $1000, and there's no cost to it at all (well, this year we spent $30 on a new sign which will do for years), except for vast quantities of labour. Over two weeks, I have dug, I have separated, I have moved, I have watered. Today alone, according to my watch, I had walked 10 km by 11:30 a.m., most of those steps with pots of plants in both hands. I am exhausted bone deep, and I wore out the big guy as well and the weather was not nice. Vicious wind, and a "feel like" temperature of 0 at 7:15 a.m when I started. Yesterday, I loaded both vehicles to the max, then took both over to the church to unload a bit so that I could fit in last plants and passsengers today. I have filled a laundry basket with muddy clothes, my daughter is delighted that she did dirt coloured nails, my car is a mud pile, I am out of pots and dirt and I am reminded of my uncle's gardener's prayer, "Godde grant me a cast iron back, with a hinge in the middle".
 
It's organized by myself and a wonderful farm woman 20 years my senior, who feckin' runs circles around me. She organized a ton of help with the initial unloading and moving, and we had one or two taking plants to cars, my big guy and two helpers on cash, me as apprentice plant consultant, Mrs. C as the grand pooba of plant knowledge. A huge tiring part is the digging, the splitting, the potting, the watering, the maintaining and moving back to the church. It semi-consumes me for the month of May, whilst this month I'm trying to prep for renos.
