 Thanks to Norah over at The Vine for the kind nomination. This winter has not seen me be very versatile as I have not been posting much and truthfully not reading much. Torn rotator cuff part of the no computer use.

And I lost several of my favourite blogs when Craig Larson from Wind and Water Farm at Swan river Manitoba decided to remove his from the web for the time being.  Craig wrote very eloquently about Edible Blue Honeysuckle, Earth Bag Shelters and Greenhouses, as well as several other topics. I miss him!

Seven things about me.

1) I grew up on a very small farm in Central Saskatchewan (Nipawin area)

2) I miss the trees since we moved to Saskatoon! That is why I keep planting more here.

3) I worked in Malting Barley Breeding as a Tech for nearly 24 years. And I really am not a drinker!

4) If I could start over again in plants I would grow more fruit!

5) We have been to Cuba twice to work on a church/learning centre in Palmira near Ceinfuegos.

6) Since I will be 67 this year it seems like the chance to develop an Edible Blue Honeysuckle for the market is unlikely but I am going to try!

7) I am very thankful for a good life after retirement. Especially with all the fuss these days about Old Age Security et al.
