Amazing! They did have lots of west coast fans. I will tell my son. He doesn’t let me play Warsawpack music for his little kids, but maybe one day. He played sax and flute and they know he toured Canada.

If Alberta is allowed to go down this dark road, who can doubt Ontario’s Ford gov’t will accelerate its own destruction of public health care 😱

Where I live (southern Ontario) yellow flag is a dreaded invasive plant!
On the other hand, Canada goldenrod is an important native species here, but seriously invasive in other continents.

A tiny oak sapling about a foot tall, in autumn

A tiny oak sapling about a foot tall, in autumn

This baby Chinquapin oak sapling grew by our garden gate, likely from an acorn buried by a squirrel. Since an oak tree blocking a gate isn’t great we moved it 6 weeks ago. So far it’s done very well. We won’t live to see it get more than 10-15 feet tall but hope it survives 🀞

Frozen bananas are easy to peel, just leave β€˜em on the counter for 5 minutes first, then perl. They leak liquid though. And may I suggest banana chocolate chip muffins? πŸ˜‹

Today is Persons Day.
This day honours The Persons Case, which ended in a victory for The Famous Five on Oct. 18, 1929. The ruling declared women to be persons under the law and qualified to sit in the Senate.
This is the story of that case.

Pawpaws are native to our Carolinian zone here in Ontario and more and more people are growing these fascinating trees. There is even a Pawpaw Parade check it out caroliniancanada.ca/pawpaw

100+ Ontario mayors are pushing back on Ford’s threat to scrap school-zone speed cameras.
Critics say he’s pandering to drivers over kids’ safety.
AMO: β€œThis isn’t a cash grab. It’s law enforcement.”
