The neighbourhood squirrel likely assumes I won't try to purloin this walnut. I'll have to remember to check on it from time to time, see if it's still there when winter arrives.

What were your 1st three science fiction novels? My first 2 were thrifted, the 3rd bought new. I still remember purchasing each of these. One at a flea market for 25 cents, the 2nd recommended by a libraire at a used bookstore shop, and the 3rd was new at the mall.

The ink made from pine cones for this calligraphy came from this tree. Long time St. Catharines residents remember this as the location where the YMCA was downtown, now a parking lot. I realized the tree resembles the letter Y, so I can stop saying "where the Y was" and can now say "where the Y is"
