Milk weed has been around for years and has a wide range of uses if one chooses to go natural. For one thing the Monarch butterflies just love them and if your interested having them near or around your home this is the plant or herb some call them, to plant. One great use is the white milk that comes from them when broken, removes warts, moles and things like that. Great plant for sure. Eating them are not recommended any more, as more evidence has proved them not safe to eat. Myself I think they taste bitter and best left alone on the eating side. They sure do smell nice when out in bloom though, which they are now here in Port Loring. So make sure when you are passing by one or two, to take a second and give them a smell. You will be glad you did. Click Picture To Enlarge

It’s Blossom Time For The Basswood Trees Here In Port Loring
Well folks it is blossom time for the Basswood trees here in our area in Port Loring Ontario. Or some would call them Linden trees. Our tree out back is loaded this year so will be out harvesting the blossoms and the two long straight leaves that grows around the blossoms. There is no better cold medicine in the world than these little feller’s and in my mind every one that has a tree near by should be doing as I am. You can not miss them as you can smell them a mile away, sweet just to nice to put into words. Thought I would let you know, this is the time to get out there before they fall to the ground. The small narrow leaves are for fever they promote sweat which gets rid of the fever. The blossoms are for the cold itself or as my wife calls the yukies. I am not just saying this it is true, tested for years in all countries in the world. Taken at first signs of a cold or flu one will never have to deal with one. Enjoy.
Pepper Plant
Just thought I would let you folks take a look at how Pepper is grown and for those that don’t know it is actually a plant. Grown mostly in the tropics. Click pictures to enlarge.
Alcohol & Cancer
How much alcohol is REALLY safe? None, say cancer specialists in today’s news.
Well……I can’t let this one get away with out a word of how I feel. Kind of figure they had their say, now I am entitled to mine. Right? OK then. If the truth be known through my eyes having a drink or two a day of a nice fine brandy or any other kind of drink wouldn’t hurt anyone, or at the very least cause cancer. Years ago it was made quite differently though, without the toxic chemicals they use today. I would believe that a good home made wine would be of an asset to ones body, keeping in mind moderation of course. I am no doctor that is for sure, but the truth is right in front of them. The truth is that it’s not the drink that causes cancer, it is what the drinks are made up of. Which is pesticides of all kinds, chlorine for cleaners, fungicides, antibiotics, just too many to name, same goes for food. We today believe that treating folks and an feeding folks poisons is ok, it is accepted in our society. That is the bottom line, simple as that. Just had to put in my two cents here. My Opinion Only
Great Quote
My lovely Sister Barb sent me this quote. It is one that explains exactly what is happening to folks here in the world as we see it today. My feelings exactly.
I just think that in our material consciousness, that our lives of existence have been made so easy by technology, that our human struggle to do the right thing is shutting down.
Our Bees & What Is Killing Them
This is what I believe is happening to our Bees.
When you are sick, you can’t think quickly and clearly? If a bee gets sick and can’t think probably, it will not be able to return to its beehive. Now think on this, insecticide Bt is incorporated into many genetically modified crops and Bt does and can cause major sickness to a wide range of creatures in nature. Bees only carry enough honey with them to fly directly to the target flowers and straight back to the beehive. The trip to and from those flowers is extremely complex and so requires the bee to have a very good memory. Since learning and memory are impaired in bees that have an immune response, bees with an immune response get lost, run out of honey fuel, fall to the ground and are then are carried away by ants. Thus, if a bee gets lost, for even a few minutes, it is dead. Even if it does not kill the bees it makes them disorientated unable to find their way back home to their hive, in turn they die or get sick, which is what is happening now around the world. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” One also has to remember that other things come into play also like Cell phones, electrical wires also disorientate the bees the biggest culprit is the GM crops which eventually in my eyes and if these big corporations, and pharmaceutical companies are allowed to continue with what they are doing, that all living creatures on earth will perish. Sounds harsh…well as I see it, if we all don’t stand up to this, and do our part in saying we don’t want GM Food and put a stop to it, we will perish. My Opinion Only
Composting & Life?
Compost has a two functions. It improves the structure of the soil. This means the soil will be easier to work, will have good aeration and water-retention characteristics, and will be resistant to erosion. Compost also provides nutrients for plant growth, and its organic acids make nutrients in the soil more available to plants. Fewer nutrients leach out in a soil with adequate organic matter. Improved structure and nourishment produce a healthy soil. A healthy soil produces healthy plants better able to resist insect and disease attacks. Most insects look for sick plants to eat, like Cancer in humans. The best way to control insects and diseases in plants is with a living, healthy soil rather than with poisons that kill beneficial soil life. Now in saying all this, does this maybe just a wee bit…. make you think of how the medical system is treating us as humans today. Well if not, it should, as treating our sick with poisons is not the answer; not through my eyes and never will be, and as long as source allows me to wonder this old earth, I will keep striving to get my message across to those that are seeking another way of life, knowing the one they now have isn’t working. Also remember this. We cannot blame plants or animals for any of our sickness or diseases here on earth, every disease known to humans, animals and plants was brought to being by us, the superior species. My opinion only

Sound Advice For a Thursday Afternoon
Tidbit for today. The best sermons are lived, not preached.
The chemo drug shortage is a blessing
Interesting article. If cancer is seen as a failure of the immune system, how can poisoning the immune system with chemo and radiation help
On May 13, 2011, the Canadian press reported a chemo drug shortage that left hospitals scrambling. The Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) said: “For weeks, hospitals and pharmacists across Canada and the U.S. have struggled to cope with spot shortages for about five chemotherapy drugs. Many of the medications are decades old, highly toxic cancer drugs that kill dividing cancer cells and are mainstays of cancer treatment.” The CBC failed to mention that these highly toxic drugs kill the patients as well.
So brainwashed are cancer patients and their doctors that they actually believe they are in great need of these poisonous drugs.
Few Tips For The Use of Bounce
Been awhile since I been on here just lot going on this summer> But doing ok. Here is a few tips on how you can make extra good use of that Bounce Softer for your dryer.
1. It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.
2. Spread sheets around foundation areas, or in trailers, or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.
3. It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don’t get opened too often.
4. It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.
5. Eliminate static electricity from your television (or computer) screen.
6. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling..
7. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.
8. To freshen the air in your home – Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.
9. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.
10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.
11. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.
12. To freshen the air in your car – Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.
13. Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan..
14. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.
15.. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs.
16. Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds.. Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.
17. Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
18. Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.
19. Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight.
20. Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees away.
21. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them. It will keep them smelling fresh.
22. Wet a Bounce sheet, hose down your car, and wipe love bugs off easily with the wet Bounce.
Goodbye For Now My Fiend: Peter Falk dead at 83
Well here again we lost a great feller. Peter in my eyes was one of the greatest actors that the world has ever seen. His death was not really known, or so they say, but earlier he had had some major dental work done. Kind of makes you wonder doesn’t it. For me I have my own theory and with the way the medical profession is going today, well nothing more needs to be said. See you around Peter. My Opinion Only.

Not A Bad Plant
You know for most parts of the USA and Canada marijuana is illegal to grow for themselves. I for one believe that it should be readily available to those that are in need of it, or for those that want to grow it for their personal use. Now don’t get me wrong here, I myself have never ever even tried the stuff, but I have been around folks in my younger days that have smoked it. Think they called it wacky tobacco or something like that. For all the times I have seen folks smoking it, it never through my eyes really did any damage to the folks that used it, or for that matter to the surrounding folks. On the contrary, the folks around those that smoked, for most parts one got to know the true person. Funny isn’t it how we today as a society have taken the plant … medicine that the creator has given us and made it illegal to grow or use and replaced them with prescription drugs, man made, some far more damaging to health and society than marijuana usage could ever be. Weed’s a seed that grows in the ground, if source didn’t want it, then it wouldn’t be around. My opinion only

News From Port Loring Ontario
Well been a couple cool days here. Yesterday was cool enough for me to wear a jacket while getting my mowing done. Also cloudy and day before that rained most of the day. Today though is sunny and looks nice but still cool. Winds from the old north bringing in the cool air is the culprit but by the looks of the long range into next week things change back to warmer weather. At least into the seventies they say, so that is ok with me. Even had to put on the old furnace for a wee bit this morning to take the dampness out of the old bones and warm up the house a touch. Today will get at working up my veggie gardens some, so that should keep me busy. Have to say they things are growing nicely too, been eating fresh veggies regularly every day now. Our store is also open now for the season, loaded with all kinds of new items too. So be sure to drop by when your out this way. Can’t miss our place now as out front we have a brand new sign that says. George & Ruth Walters Author and Artist with a gift shop sign underneath. Have a great day.
