Balancing Rock a.m.. Via the back side. Fern Forest Trail? A little less traffic noise and more time in the swamp. I so love how the board walk is twisted and wonky. And the trail. You've got to step over and around things. It's the imperfections that make the walk so fun and interesting.

The guys at Northtown are the best. I say that because if they don't have something, and the usually do, then they've got a suggestion. Doesn't get any better. BUT. Am I the only one who needs to see these trailers straitened. My case workers says I need to let it go. Not. In fact I may well start a go fund me campaign to get this all leveled out.

Every time I go somewhere it's the same thing. What was I thinking? Why would anyone want to leave Creston. I mean it is always a disappointment, a let down, calamity, catastrophe a disaster. And this morning was no different. I'm never leavening this valley again.

Not many days of these mornings left. 6;30 and already those lousy birds are outside the window, chirp-chirp-chirp. I can't stand it. And the days are getting longer. The sunshine. Next it'll be the grass to cut. Then the all the miserable insects. Bees. I'm sure to be stung again this year. Then the ants show up in the house. Mosquitoes. My question is why global warming? I mean if we're going down the tube couldn't we all just slowly freeze to death in the cold and the dark.

Happy Easter Everyone. We'll be closed Friday, back open again Saturday. 10 - 4. Take-Out drinks only but as always, Tons of Books to choose from.

Registration Begins April 1st. Check out their line-up. Always - Always a Fun Time. https://www.crestonvalleybirds.ca/index.html See you there. Well sort of. Off in the distance. It's all good.

"Jim Gary, the man riding west, comes upon three men pushing cattle. Red Slagle seems friendly enough and even offers Jim a job riding herd. Jim can use the money, and the herd is moving the same direction he is, which is good luck for him - unless the herd is stolen." Just look at that cover. Stunning what. You'd think that alone would draw us in. So will anyone be reading this in ten years?

O.K.. We think of July and August as the dog days of summer. What then would you call these somewhat drab and painful days of winter? Those days when it's neither winter nor spring. You know the gray, dull, windy, dirty, lifeless, suck the marrow right out of your bones days. Someone put a name to these days for me.

How I Love Roald Dahl. And Matilda is no exception. It's Brilliant. I mean his evil adults are so perfect. And his expressions. How good overcomes... Well, so many things. He really is such fun. And isn't that just what a kids book should be. Fun.

O.K.. $100 to the first person to name the make, model and year of this car. Well, what's left of the car. I'm sure they're be more of it. The stuff just keeps seeps out of the hillside above our house. Was it built on an old landfill sight? A Creston version of the Love Canal? So far only my spelling has been affected. Stay tuned.

What in the world is going on at the bookshop? Is this proof that society as we know it is on the ropes? Do people no longer care? Or has someone simply had porridge for breakfast once to often? Maybe it's all of the above.

I can remember reading Trustee from the Toolroom years ago. It was o.k.. We change though huh? Or the world changes? I mean I just finished this book of his and..... Well the guy, the author, is both a snob and a racist. Or was he always that way and I didn't see it? Interesting. I do love all the incarnations of the covers though. The art work. Such fun.
