Tomatoes, potatoes, chives, & deep purple plums

March 14, 2023
Dad was always trying different types of fertilizer in his garden. Our garden was a wildly cultivated one with grapes, peaches, apples, rhubarb, zucchini, tomatoes, potatoes, chives, plums, and a plentiful variety of flowers, most notably, paeonies and tea roses. I was particularly interested in the "boules de neiges" - a tree that dropped white petals on the wild green growing grass like snowflakes.  We had all the spring flowers: snowdrops, crocuses, daffodils, and tulips. Dad would pick fresh bouquets for Mom's coffee table on a weekly or so basis.  It was so beautiful growing up with Mom, Dad and Michael.

A Little Fishing Secret

March 21, 2018

Dad always laughed before the punchline when he told jokes, but I remember this one especially:
Two guys were out ice fishing up in the interior of BC in the dead of winter.  One was catching them every 10 minutes, and the other was not getting even one bite.  The one who was down on his luck asked the other what his secret was to catching a fish every 10 minutes.
"Yngtngeepmwm" - he mumbled.
"What was that?" the other replied.
"Yngtngeepmwm" the lucky fisher mumbled again.
"I'm sorry but I can't make out what you're saying" the unlucky fisherman said.
The lucky fisherman spat out a big wad of slimy squirming wriggling worms into his palm, and said, "You gotta keep 'em warm!".
