It's way past shearing time and time to get the hooves trimmed. There is so much work right now that I can't keep up. Goats, Donkey, Garden, Fencing, Lawn Mowing, . . .

Leroy's heavy winter coat is starting to come off but, judging from last year, it will be quite a while before he turns to his summer blacker coat. Meanwhile, he is enjoying his fresh grass in the meadows.

I have been playing with making double exposures with my camera lately. I like many of the results but, as of now, I still cannot set up the photos or know what I am going to get until the camera has done its work.

These were the tools at one of the benches of the artist Leo D’Lázaro in Havana, Cuba. His studio was on one of the main streets in Old Havana and open to the public. He had a great variety of paintings, sculptures, and installation type art using many objects that he had found on the streets. It was art from "garbage" and found materials.

This plant had not come up two weeks ago. I found three small clumps of plants last Friday in bud. This week two of the clusters had bloomed and lost their petals and only one group still had petals. This is the only nearby location of the plant that I know about. It is on an old trail in the Royal Botanical Gardens in a woodlot. According to records, it was planted years ago and has survived on its own since then.

There are many plants in another location closer to Oakville that are wild as far as I know and I know of a few other plants near Lake Erie.

The plant is called Twinleaf. Go to the Flickr page to see other botanical information.
