We haven’t been able to grow in earnest since severe drought caused our wells to go dry two years ago.

Rosa rugosa blossoms, unwatered but blooming abundantly despite these stats: today is Day 10 of this summer’s 3rd intense heatwave; 2025 is Year 5 of deep, on-going drought; last rainfall was over 3 weeks ago; last night brought first frost.

Dragons come in many forms. Many love coffee (especially French roast).

Red maple with all her colours revealed … cranberry, scarlet, burnt orange, lemon, chartreuse … linked by brown and blackened branches, hidden roots.

Respect, gratitude and love for the Indigenous peoples of this incomparable land. The bedrock. Essential.
