Some of the bushes growing in the garden were planted on this yard over twenty years ago. Chris and Ken had them nicely growing when Ed bought the place from them. I didn’t like where they were, so I moved them. Twice. Their growth has been considerable. Another variety was given to us when our daughter worked at the Saskatoon farm in Saskatoon. I tried them in more than one location before they took root. Now, on the south edge of the garden, is an impressive stand of berry bushes. This spring, we had a late frost and I was certain that heavy blossoms would be rendered sterile. Quite the opposite occurred. Every blossom took and I have watched with amazement as fruit matured and the branches began to bend under the weight of the developing crop.

Several years ago, while living in another city, I learned a valuable lesson in acceptance. It came thanks to an encounter with a couple in their mid-20s who were looking for someone to officiate at their wedding. The first of several visits we would have came after a phone call I received from the groom-to-be. He had some questions for me and I told him I would do my best to answer them.

Everyday life seems to take up a person’s whole day. When worries and troubles hit, everyday life can take up half your night as well. When the summer heat hits and getting a good sleep is made a bit more difficult by an overheated house, everyday life can become overwhelming. Fortunately, we almost always come to the conclusion that there is only so much a person can do.

Health is one of the most important issues facing any person. Our jobs, our relationships and how we are able to live our lives are all dictated by our health– anyone who has known someone with ailing health knows this to be true.

Thumbs down to whoever destroyed the planters in front of Brimont and ArtsForward this weekend. The Girl Guides and the Horticultural Society planted them and they were just beautiful! Luckily, I don’t think any of the other big planters were destroyed.
