Wild & Weedy Wednesday: The Crushing of Flowers and Trees

 

The past week has seen some serious squashing of plants of all kinds, all around the house. The house is being painted, and the perennial borders are being trashed. That's just the way it is, I guess.

Cruelly treated 'Cruel Plant'

Levelled Lavender

Mangled Magnolia

Damaged Kousa Dogwood

The tragic trunk

  

Speaking of tragic trunks, to top it all off, the largest Elm tree, across the street, which has been dying this year, started to come down yesterday. Always sad, always inevitable... always a fascinating process, nevertheless. 

The grandkids happened to be arriving, and checked out the scene. 

Sacred Sunday: Canadian Association for Baptist Freedoms

 For a couple decades I have enjoyed the fellowship of some Baptists on the fringe of things here in Atlantic Canada. The CABF. We just 'met' for our fall assembly online. The next best thing to being in person.

Here, below, are the actual presentations, which were simply posted online for one and all to take in. The lectures are one hour each, and I found them quite interesting. The lecturer is one of the newer faculty members at Acadia Divinity College, Dr. Spencer Boersma. 

Family & Friends Friday: Steve & Nadine!

 

Well, it was a great visit from Sharon's old friends from days in Amherst. They came down to Digby, and we toured the Neck and Long Island. Finished off with a great dinner out. And did I say it was Nadine and Steve's 55th wedding anniversary? Congrats!
