Canada has started construction on their Wall ....

Beating Trump to the punch, Canada has already started construction on their wall .... with a little help from Mother Nature and a very early winter. 

It has been given the name Ga- Woc-Wwam - The Great White Canadian Winter Wall of Misery .... 

Please note: We must apologize, this is a very unusual form of Cold and heartless Canadian "low humidex" humour. Not intended to offend anyone.

Also note: The term humidex is a Canadian innovation, that was first coined in 1965. The humidex is a dimensionless quantity based on the dew point.

Organic Apples from our 2 Apple trees - Empire and Golden Delicious



We had a very good apple harvest this year. Over 200 Empire and Golden Delicious apples from our 2 dwarf apple trees that we planted about 10 years ago. We paid about $30 for each tree and get hundreds of delicious home-grown organic apples each year.

We do not use any insecticides or sprays so many of the apples have spots and blemishes. But this year most of the apples were perfect. Not sure why ....
