I loved the song Jeanne. We just spent a week around Pukaskwa National Park and that's all we saw. My idea of heaven.
Oh my goodness, we have trillions of tons of them Kalai, up here anyways. Yeah Canadians love having a good wry laugh at ourselves. It's just how we roll. :)
Ha ha ha so you've got some rocks and trees........... and WATER, in Canada Jeanne?!? So funny x x x
Love the song....I will now be singing it all day ! A few years ago, my husband's cousins came from England. It was their first visit so we decided to drive them from Toronto via Manitoulin Island. They saw rocks and trees, and trees and rocks...and…
Good morning Jeanne.Thank you for the Song.Love it.
My visitors from the US. Feel that way about us driving through our country.But I love it.xxxxGerda
No, the last time I recall any tornadic storms of note here was about 40 years ago, in the 1970's, took out lots of trees but nobody hurt. South of us they get them much much worse. Anyways I want to share a song that defines Canada where we live. W…
Ooooo tornadoes terrify me! I used to have nightmares about the water ones. SCARY!! Do you have them often Jeanne?
Tornado warnings last night, that livened things up. But no danger here thankfully. Hopefully everyone else was alright too as a large area was under the red banner. At least all those clouds cooled us off abit. Must go buy cat food or I'm in biiig…
Wow - you've been busy, Laurie

Jeanne,
Here is a link to a You Tube about 2 eagles and a duck...

Yes, they are gorgeous birds and sooo big. There are huge pine trees here they can nest in and lots of lakes for them to fish in though they're not above swiping fish from the seagulls. The seagulls get so p*ssed off at them. I was laughing one day…
I just read a story about Bald Eagles and how they were being devastated by DDT in the past. The chemical would cause their eggs to be too thin-shelled and they'd hatch too early. They became endangered and only when DDT was outlawed did the birds b…
Great minds think alike, you two.
I was just standing outside watching a huge cloud formation pass overhead and circling underneath it, way up there, were four bald eagles enjoying an updraft. Lovely to stand and watch them a moment. I've got to go…

- Hi Anne,
I've been thinking about the toddlers lying on the linoleum since Sandy posted the photo in her blog.....very difficult image to forget.
Also I was thinking about all the baby blankets Ronda has stored.
Would it be a possibility to sew two of the baby blankets together to make a toddler blanket? It would be a bit bigger (6 X 4 instead of 5 X 4 ) but at least they would have something to sleep on or to cover them.
You are probably already thinking of ways to help . I thought I would run this by you because Sandy is so busy and you always have good ideas.

jen phillips said… - Hi Anne ! I am so glad you like my little 'buddies'. The little teddy came from a pdf file I downloaded, attributed to Patricia Smith, but I cannot find it on the net any more. The little fellow in the yellow jumpsuit can be found on our forum. Click on forum and scroll down to toys and you will find rainbow babies pattern. I will see if I can copy the pdf file to our form patterns but I am not very good at that sort of thing. lol !

- Hi Anne,
I had a chat to two Zulu ladies who work in the retirement village where I live, just yesterday. The one, a younger woman, was a bit reluctant to open up and just said that frogs can bring sickness and death.
But Patricia, a middle aged woman, was more forthcoming and said that frogs, in and around the home, were a symbol of witchcraft activity and that someone was wishing one ill, seriously bad. I know that she is a devout Christian and asked if her religion did not nulify the 'bad spell' but she said no - witchcraft still has deep roots in their culture.
I remember a Zulu gardener, in our previous home, asking my husband to remove a large bullfrog from the area where he had to work. There was absolutely no way he was prepared to tackle it himself or even work around it.
I asked Patricia if toy frogs would be alright to send for our children and she said that she personally wouldn't worry about toys - it was the real thing that unsettled her.
Hope this makes you feel happier about the odd toy that may have found its way over here.
