“There are two ways to be fooled: One is to believe what isn’t true. The other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ~Soren Kierkegaard Fiona, the truth will be revealed in the end. First, we have to get to the end. We are in for a rough ride.

The V-1650 liquid-cooled engine was the U.S. version of the famous British Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, which powered the Spitfire and Hurricane fighters during the Battle of Britain in 1940. The Packard Co. Detroit agreed to build the Merlin engine. This is one of them and it was started up for us.

Monarch Butterfly larva on our milkweed. Our granddaughter is visiting and she loves looking for them. Sometimes I catch a glimpse, but her young hawk eyes zoom in on these little munchers. We are always pleased to see them.

Oregon Coast Bridge. As we travel, I like to take pics of bridges we cross. We travelled from British Columbia, Canada to northern California and back. I find most bridges become landmarks after they are built.

Our Redbud Trees have leaves that have or are opening. They are heart-shaped and have a brilliant green colour. The new leaves have a soft reddish tinge to them. This is a wonderful tree to have in our garden.

We have poppies growing in our backyard and one popped today! It reminds me to be grateful to my father and grandfather who served in WW2. Grandpa served in WW1 too. They both survived to return to their families thankfully. It doesn't have to be Remembrance Day to be grateful for their service.

Volunteers have pulled hundreds of tires from our local Little River. It was hard to believe another tire appeared 22 April, Earth Day! We think the Winter season causes the tires to heave out of the mud at the bottom of the river.

Our Windsor-Essex community planted over 2000 trees and shrubs yesterday to celebrate Earth Day. We saw Canada geese, Mute swans, Red-winged blackbirds and Mallard ducks. A Red-tailed hawk soared high above also. We like to see this wildlife using the natural area while we plant trees and shrubs.

Exactly. Every Democrat and every centrist in the United States who thinks it would be a good idea for Canada to be the 51st state? If it happened, we would never forgive you

A small pencil. A single box. And the most powerful act in a democracy. Vote. Like our country depends on it. Like we’re honouring those who fought to give us that right. Like we care deeply about democracy. Vote like our voices matter, because they really do.

This is an example of naturalization. Mown grass to woodland 30 years later. Our group planted 100 trees in a grassy area and the City of Windsor Park and Forestry Department agreed to stop cutting the grass. This creates forest habitat that benefits local wildlife in the Detroit River Watershed.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears. Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak. They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent. This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.
