Update On What’s Happening In My Gardens.

Well just a quick hello to let folks know that I am still kickin’ . So much rain here the past few days it is sure taking its toll on my gardens especially my tomatoes.  Thing is once we get so much rain and no sunshine the plants all get to growing tops and no bottoms, or vegetables. I have had a good crop of broccoli so far this year and got about a bushel in the freezer. More is still coming in smaller amounts and they are for eating right now.  Nothing better than freshly picked broccoli dipped in some nice home made garlic dip on a  summers day.  And so…………………..good for ya too.  Carrots are coming along also but same there, need some sunshine and less rain to bring them up to size.  Tomatoes are starting but I had to do a lot of trimming on them so the sun can get down to the bottom of them but they are coming and they look promising now, which is a good thing as I sure love my tomatoes.  Well guess I will go and get some lunch while we can as we have also been very busy here in our small store.  Talk Soon.

A Few Words & Picures Of Our Weekend At “Books By The Bay” In Callander July 17/2009 Thought I Would Share

Well, Books By The Bay event is over for another year, and I have to say it sure was a pleasure being asked to be their first feature speaker of the year.  It was a great three days and my wife and I enjoyed it immensely, looking forward to next year.  I would also like to take a minute here and thank all those that took part and all those that dropped by and said hello to the wife and I.  Had to be well over a 100 people there at my talk on Friday night.  Also would like to say a special thanks to Suzanne, Owner of Gulliver’s in North Bay for all her help and asking us to be a part of the weekend.  Meant a lot to us.  Also on Saturday night the supper was fantastic, think I gained a few pounds too, no reason for anyone going home hungry, that’s for sure.  Everyone out did themselves that’s for sure.   Pictures below were done up by Jean and Carrie.  Got to say they did a fine job in taking them too.

Up There Speaking About My Two Books "Join Me In The Garden" & "One More Story" At Books By The Bay, July 17/2009. Great Day.

A Few Words On The Earth, Enviroment,Pesticides,Farming,Trash Well, Take A Look.

You know, for over forty years I have dedicated myself to informing folks about different items that comes to mind.  Especially prescription drugs, banks, powers that be and our environment. One thing that I bet most folks don’t realize, is that our environment has really out gotten out of hand.  For example, right now each and every day millions of pounds of pesticides are being dumped right onto your soil.  It’s needed to stop insects and things from taking over our food chain they say.  Well I say that is hog wash.  There is literally hundreds of different things one can do to combat insects from being a problem.  Top on the list is using other insects, as usually where there is one insect, there is another not to far behind him, that is thinking of having him for lunch.  I myself farmed over a 100 acres of fresh fruit and vegetables in my day, and for a good number of years I never sprayed one drop on my crops.  What happened? Well nothing, that’s what happened. Oh sure, I might have lost a few bushels here and there, but bottom line , I ended up with more fruit and veggies than those that used pesticides.  Why do they use them then? Well, simple, the pharmaceutical companies make the pesticides, or most of them, and, well, unfortunately the new minds of today think they are right. What ever they say folks take it as Gospel.    Also the Government should have stayed out of the farming business here in Canada, as they were the main down fall of it all.  Just to many things to name here, but they were, at least through the eyes of this old farmer.   Some day I will explain to ya exactly what the governments or powers that be did to the small time farmer. Thing is folks, the soil is our only source that we can grow our crops and if they keep it up, well  simply put, we are going to starve to death. Also today landfills are filled to the brim and millions of tons are being shipped to third world countries. What do they do with it? Well a lot of it goes directly in the ocean.  Can you believe that. Not bad enough that they are poisoning our farm land, now they have to poison our oceans.  Right now they say there is a  lump of trash that is floating in the water near the North Pole, twice the size of France; it`s about 33 feet deep.  Most folks say, hey, not bothering me any, so why worry.  Well……… I say, there is plenty to worry about. But that is the mentality of a lot of folks today.  What to do? Well there is lots and I shouldn’t have to be the one to tell you either.  But here are a few; do the research, open your eyes, don’t believe everything  that the Powers That Be is telling you, become more self efficient and take the blinders off.  The earth is all we got, we as  humans are earth and I believe we came from it, and we will return to it.  Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do, and people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination which is why we have the problems we do today. My Opinion Only

Prescription Drugs Are Being Pumped Into Folks More Than Gasoline

This article below is supposed to make me feel good? I don’t think so.  All that it tells me is that us Canadians are being prescribed more drugs than ever, when in reality we should be pulling away from them.  In my eyes all this is doing is making folks sicker and sicker and sicker.  Here is a piece of the article,  take a look.

Shoppers Drug Mart (SC.TO), Canada’s biggest pharmacy chain, reported a higher quarterly profit on Wednesday that matched expectations, helped by stronger sales of prescription drugs. $1.11 billion, to be exact in drugs alone.

Thing is, most folks today think this is a good thing. Hmm.                     My Opinion Only As Usual.

What The Powers That Be, Want You To Belive, And What Is The Truth, Are Two Different Things.

Myself,  I figure that the cures for all diseases, are right there in front of us in plants. I also figure that if our health system really cared for folks, instead of raking in huge profits, our doctors then could do what most of them really want to do.  If we brought our  minds back to the right way of thinking, we would then see that the Earth, is us, and what we do to the earth, we do to ourselves. Today though, folks minds have been swayed by religion, politicians, drug companies, banks, well…………… to many to name, and through my eyes they are the cause of all our problems.  It will get worse too, unless we start changing our ways.  But there is some hope as there is a growing movement here in Canada, portraying my way of thinking along with a few others, and I am hoping it keeps on progressing.  Folks are slowly taking off the blinders and opening their eyes.  They are slowly seeing, that all that has been pushed on them by these so called Powers That Be, isn’t the truth. They are slowly seeing, that the earth is all we have and all to look forward to.  They are slowly starting to see, that we have to be self efficient.  They are slowly starting to see that fear is our biggest problem, that our minds have been swayed into worrying about things that will never happen. They are slowly realizing, that you can have a good spiritual life without religion.  They are slowly seeing that fear has to be wiped from our minds. Oh……………… I guess you are getting my meaning, as I could go on here for hours.  All that I am trying to do, is to let folks know, that we have minds of our own, that we don’t be needing to do what ever the Powers That Be tell us all the time. We don’t have to believe in things that you don’t want to believe in.  Once you open your eyes to what  this earth has to offer, it by itself, well then all things will be made  possible. The Creator handed us this way of life, it is still there, it’s just that most folks have abandoned it.  My heaven, as some call it, is right here in front of me and I enjoy it each day to the fullest and my mind is clear.  My Opinion Only

Food For Thought, Item

Had a feller the other day, 90 years old drop by, as he just loves my column and blog.  We got to talking about the education system.  The way he figures it, is that the Powers That Be today isn’t really interested in the education system at all  Well, should say they are, but only in certain ways.  He figures, they want you to learn, so you can get a job and pay tax, that’s a definite.  But they don’t want you to think, as if that happened, you would then know what is going on in this world of ours as most folks have blinders on.  You know, after giving that some thought, I am inclined to agree with him.  Food For Thought, you might say.

Reminder Of Up Coming Event, Books By The Bay July 17/18/19, Next Weekend.

My Feelings On Some Things & A Good Old Time Plant Comes To The Rescue. Comfrey.

OK, for the past few days I have given you my outlook on a few things pertaining to life, and even got a bit into my life, how I do things, feel and see things.  Remember now, that these are my views on things and mine aloneSome might not think like I do, and I suspect a lot of folks don’t, but something inside me the past few years has been pushing me to get my views on things out into the open.  I like to think it is a good thing, ways of helping folks, bringing things to light on different items.  Might say, a different outlook on life. Not that I am, telling, asking or trying to change your way of thinking, as I am not.  So … that’s that.

On another note, one item that comes to mind that folks can get a lot of help from is the weed, or some call a herb, is Comfrey.  Comfrey is one plant that I use a lot around our home here. I have used it to treat broken bones, swellings, torn ligaments, hernias, arthritis, wrinkles, blisters, stretch marks, cuts, bruises, well the list goes on and on. It is a very safe plant to use and unbelievably easy to make an ointment out of.  Here is how I make my ointment.  First I pick some real nice looking leaves from the plant, around fifteen so. Kind of depends on how big they are, mine is usually about medium in size.  I then lay them on the grass and wash them real good with a hose. I then shake them dry and lay them all out on the picnic table to dry in the sun.  One has to turn them a few times throughout two days, but after that you are in business.  I then crush them up dry, and put them in a masonry jar. Fill it just about full.  I then take some extra virgin olive oil and cover them totally.  Using a stick I push the oil down all around the leaves, until they are all soaked real good and  no bubbles left in the jar. I then take the ring and put a paper towel under it and screw it back on the jar.  Acts like a lid, but still allows it to breath.   Now I just sit it on the kitchen counter and in about three to six weeks, I have the greatest healing ointment you can get.  After about three to six weeks I strain it through some cheese cloth and set it in the medicine cabinet.  That’s it, you’re in business.  So there you go, a bit of old time wisdom once again, comes to the rescue and saves a fellow or gall all kinds of grief. OK, now is saying this, one should make sure your not allergic to the plant. Easy way is to crush up a fresh leaf and rub it on your wrist. If it doesn’t turn red you’re in business.  Just a small spot, about the size of a quarter will do it.  Also, I only use it externally.  Enjoy Summer!

My THEORY About Fear & What It Has Done To Us Humans

I wrote an article on how bad I think Vaccinations are for you and some have asked.  What can we do about it? Well, that is a hard question to answer, but I feel I have the answer. Might not be what you want to hear, but here it is.   Take A Look.

Years ago throughout Canada and the USA lived the Indian or if you like, Native folks.  These folks lived off the land without any of the homes we have today and ate what every grew around them.  They were, in my eyes the healthiest of all the people in the world.   Then came the white man. The Natives helped them get over their sickness and from that day forward, it was all down hill for them.   Actually, they were almost wiped off the face of the earth.  I feel, the reasoning behind all that has been done on this earth,  can all be summed up with one word, “Fear.”  Fear is something that everyone  has in them, but Fear, to the Natives was almost unheard-of.  They had no fear of dying, or, all that was around them.  If something came up, they figured out what to do about it, corrected it, and went about their day.  The white man seen this, and it bothered them to no end, so they brought  White Man Made Religion into their lives.  Was a hard thing to do, but they did it eventually.  With religion they could change their thinking and make fear the prominent ingredient.  They told them, if you don’t worship our god, you would go to hell, or a place not so good, might say they put the fear of god in them.  The ones that, couldn’t be changed, fought for their way of life and …  most died tryingWhat a shame.  For myself, there is no hell, I just shake my head when folks get to chattin’ about them things.  Just a waste of time and energy. The things, I brought on board throughout my being, is what I can see, smell, hear, feel, or taste. One other, I give some mind to, is Intuition, but that is all, “Nothing Else.”  Got to say, I have had a real nice life too, thus far.  I figure, I am in a group of around 25% in this world, but we are growing in numbers each day, as folks are taking the blinders off slowly, and taking a serious look at what is around them.

OK,  the Natives were hooked and fear was a dominate factor in their lives.  Now along came, yep your right,  Governments, I call them Powers That Be. The only way for them to succeed and grow,  was for them to keep this fear growing throughout us humans, and right up till today, they have done a good job at it too.   Then came banks, they would say they took fear away from folks, but in reality they added to it more than one can ever imagine.  Doesn’t take a lawyer to figure them out.     Pharmaceutical companies, health officials, you name it then came on board, and today I would say  that fear is in every ones mind for most their conscious day. Kind of like a drug, as once you start it on its way, it is almost impossible to stop it.    Fear is something not to take lightly. It  grows inside us and thrives the more we use it.  It has started wars, and killed more people than any other thing on this earth. It needs to grow and for years now it has.  But things are slowly changing as there is a few of us that know, and can see what it is doing, how it has changed folks thinking, and them few are slowly bringing it out into the open,  so folks can see what is happening.  The bottom  line is this.  If fear is left to carry on  and us humans keep feeding it, we will continue to get sick.  We will continue to let others run our life, and given time we humans, will perishAgain, what a shame, as if we would have just taken a bit of the Natives way, into our life way back when, this world would probably be free of wars, sickness, cults, man made religion, well, to many to name. So … my advice to folks today is this,  steadily work on the fear inside of you, and when ever it shows its ugly head, laugh it right out of your mind, get rid of it, fast. My Opinion Only, As Usual.

Vaccinations For Mumps, Measles,Chicken Pox, Whooping Cough, Good, Bad, Or Just Plain Nonsence?

For awhile now I have had folks ask me what my true view was on the sickness that is  happening here today.  Well giving it a lot of thought I have come to the conclusion that most of all the diseases we have today like Tonsillitis, Ear Infections, some Arthritis, Alzheimer’s, a lot of Flu  and Colds and top of the list cancer, have been brought to us through us  getting vaccinated when we were  young. My personal views on vaccinations is that they should have never been given to anyone. First off when the vaccines were first brought to being and given to children and adults  the diseases like the measles, mumps, chicken pox and whopping cough was already down to just a few.  In other words they were disappearing all on their own. When we started to give folks the vaccinations they actually went up a bit.  Problem was though, that as soon as the vaccinations were started, so did all kinds of other things and that is why today we have so many other problems.  How can you say this?  Well I can say this as it is like looking a huge blank wall, the evidence is right there in front of you and one just has to open ones eyes.  In reality one has to take off the blinders and all will be shown.

Here is my theory. Once the vaccinations were given to children or should say us humans, our body lost a lot of its amunity to things. .as our body didn’t have a chance in doing it on its own.   I feel that if we would have allowed our bodies to fight off these things like measles, mumps and so on, we would all have been a lot better off and stronger for doing so..  Also along with putting these vaccinations into our system we also put in formaldehyde, aluminum and mercury. When we put them toxic drugs into our system we are setting ourselves up for all kinds of new things to happen inside us, like new diseases, which is what is happening today. Might say they all are man made diseases.   Some say, look at overseas,  third world countries,  so many young ones are dying from just the measles alone and vaccinating them would save thousands.  I say they are not really dying from the measles, they are dying because of lack of nourishment in their diets.  If you gave these folks good food or showed them how to grow their own, along with vitamin A  and others, it would eventually wipe out them diseases all on their own and again their bodies would be a lot more stronger in doing so.  I also say things like the measles are in reality good for us. Myself I have had them all, not one of them put me in bed for any length of time or hurt me.  My body recognized them and dealt with them all on its own. How? Simple, I had a healthy environment and my body was well nourished.  Some say hey now how could the Powers That Be allow this to happen.  Simple, for one thing, after all these years they sure would have a hard time admitting to folks that they made a huge mistake.  Isn’t going to happen.  I can also give you a billion more reasons.  What are they? Well it’s a billion dollar a year buisness for the drug companies.  That should sum it up in a nutshel.  I got a bit more to say on the subject and will write up another post in the coming days.  Remember this is my opinion only.


Sunshine, Vitamin D, Sunburn Help, And Summer

Well summer is on the way and sunshine is in abundance.  Sure is nice to sit outside on a nice sunny day and enjoy a coffee and take in Mother Nature as it happens. My wife and I live in the country, or should say surrounded by bush and miles away from the nearest city.  It’s a great life, and we can’t get enough of it.  With the sunshine now I hear all the time of the Powers That Be telling folks to stay out of the sunshine and if you do go out into it wear Sun-block and things like that. Myself I believe that is the worst thing you can do, as all you are doing is subjecting yourself to all kinds of sickness and  covering your body with not so good chemicals, which your body absorbs right in through the skin.    Sunshine is what the body needs to survive and stay healthy, it’s loaded with Vitamin D and all kinds of good things. Here is what I recommend.  If you’re not used to the sun, ease your way into the sun say for around ten minutes a day, then fifteen minutes a day, and so on.  That way your skin will toughen up and you won’t burn.   Thing is, today most folks figure the sun is bad and that is wrong.   I have been out in the sun for hours on end with a hat for pretty well all my life and never get a sunburn.  Why?  Well my body is used to it and it adapts.  For a healthy body you need sunshine, so read what I just wrote, and get out there this summer and enjoy.  Moderation at first is the key word here folks.  OK so you did what I said and got yourself a wee bit red. What to do  as it hurts?  Well, simple, just get yourself some vinegar as it is an incredible first-aid remedy for dealing with a sunburn. Once applied the soreness will disappear and your redness will be turned into a real nice tan.  Get to putting it on as soon as you come in, as quicker the better.  Have a great summer, and don’t forget to pick up a copy of my new book  called, Join Me In The Garden written by, yours truly.  Loaded with all kinds of good tips and advice.

“Books By The Bay” July 17th-19th Reminder


Just thought I would keep you folks informed of the upcoming event, Books By The Bay.  It will be held in Callander July 17 – 19.   My lovely wife and myself will be speaking for a half hour or so on July 17th, at 7:30 PM.  Hope to see you all there and make sure you say hello.  Looking forward to it.  Here is the link, it will take you to a place where everything is explained.    Run your mouse over the Books By The Bay Below, click on it and wolla!!!

Would You Like To Live A Healthy Life With Out Drugs That Makes You Sick?

For a long time now I have been trying to let folks know, that too much protein in our diet is not so good for us. Well should say certain types of protein.  Thing is, I figure that bad protein covers the bad cells in one’s body like cancer and when that happens we get sick.  If the bad protein wasn’t put into our bodies, well guess what?  No cancer, as our bodies would kick out the cancer cells.  Now this is my theory. I figure, that we  should drink good water, not water with chlorine or fluoride in it, well- water preferably, and around nine cups a day.  Then get to eating good protein and eliminating bad protein, we would then cut sickness in this country in half, if not more.  I figured out a list of what to eat and not to eat and thought I would share them with you.  Here is the good protein and bad proteins. Oh, and one last thing if you figure you haven’t got the time to read everything that I have written here in this article, at the very least, for your own health read the last ten or so lines you will be glad you did.

Good Protein
As with all foods, there are healthy proteins, and not-so-healthy proteins. Some of the healthiest sources of protein come from:

* Organic, cage-free chickens and eggs
* Antibiotic-free and hormone-free meat from grass-fed, free-range livestock
* Unpasteurized, raw dairy products
* Wild, mercury-free fish
* Sprouted nuts and seeds
* Plant sources such as organic beans and whole grains.

Dietary Recommendations

* Increase your omega-3 essential fatty acids by selecting organic flax meal, wild Alaskan salmon, minimal-mercury albacore tuna, fish oil, avocados, and sprouted walnuts.
* Choose animal and fish products that are cage-free, antibiotic-free, hormone-free, free-range, wild, and/or grass-fed.
* Eat healthy combinations of foods that turn incomplete proteins into complete protein.  Increase your omega when eaten together, such as rice with beans.
* Add nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods such as sprouted nuts and seeds to your diet.
* Lightly grill animal proteins, flipping the meat frequently, and avoid charring or high-heat cooking. Preferably, eat raw animal protein such as sushi, or cook meats rare or medium-rare.
* If you are a vegetarian, consider vitamin and mineral supplementation to avoid nutrient deficiencies that may be present in your diet due to the lack of complete proteins (meat and dairy).

Now here is the bad protein.

Bad Protein
The “bad” proteins are mainly the result of agricultural industrialization, which turns healthy proteins into unhealthy ones.

Meat. Livestock that is over-crowded, injected with hormones and antibiotics, and provided unhealthy, unnatural feed leads to poor-quality protein.

Poultry. Caged chickens that are not allowed to eat a natural diet or roam freely suffer from poor health, resulting in poor-quality poultry.

Fish. Farm-raised fish that are fed unnatural land-based diets contain little or no omega-3 essential fatty acids, and are often contaminated with PCBs and mercury.

Note: Be careful on the grill. Overcooking proteins can be harmful to your health. High heat reacts with proteins in red meat, poultry, and fish to form cancer-causing agents.6

Foods to AVOID:

  • Avoid all heavily processed animal products and foods.
  • Avoid meats that have been injected with hormones and antibiotics.
  • Avoid meats that contain sodium nitrite such as bacon, lunch meat, and canned meat.
  • Avoid farm-raised fish. Choose wild-caught fish instead.

So there you go hope this helps and also hope that you take your life back and start thinking for yourselves and not let the Powers That Be run it  anymore.

One last thing. Now I am not one to get into  technical things, but here is a simple way of finding out if you got too much protein in your body.  When you go to the bathroom and you see a lot of bubbles in your urine, you know you got too much protein, not a good thing.  Also if your urine is to yellow or dark in color, again not so good.  How does one fix this problem?  Simple, eat only good protein and to flush out the protein drink water.  You will know you had enough  water when, well, when you see no more bubbles in your urine and it is clear in color.   So there you go,  now when you head out to the grocery store you might want to start looking for some good … food.  Better yet, get to growing your own, that is if you have enough property.  If you do and need some help, remember to pick up a copy of my new gardening book, that is in the stores now.   It’s called, Join Me In The Garden, By George Walters.  Good book, I wrote it LOL

China Investment takes $1.74 billion Teck stake. Our Coal Mines

You know I sure can’t figure our country or our Powers That Be  anymore, when it comes to protecting our resources. One has to remember that they are pretty well all that is left here in Canada that we really own. Now this  happening with China buying into more of  our  resourcesNot a good thing in my eyes and should have never been allowed. One day families will look back and say.  “You know honey, my Dad one time told me that we used to be a self efficiant country, and believe it or not, Canadians owned everything.”  My Opinion Only

Eliminate Processed Foods In Your Diet. Sooner The Better Through My Eyes.

You know, over the past few years I have tried my hardest to let folks in on the good things that we have to offer in this world, along with the bad, which the latter is being promoted now more than the good.  Take packaged luncheon meat. I for one think, that processed foods is the worst food that anyone can eat. My wife and I have totally eliminated it from our diet and, are glad we did.  I know some say; Hey! What can one eat that is good for you?  Well, there is lots, but one has to bypass about 3/4 of what is on the grocery store shelves. One has to make darn sure he or she knows where their food is coming from. Myself I only buy what I know is healthy, which is a hard thing to do in to-days world.  But it is possible. I like fresh fish, chickens that I know where they were raised.   Pork and beef, not too much, but I  won’t buy unless I know where the meat comes from.  I try to buy totally  Canadian or USA produce.  I grow all my own vegetables and my wife does up tons for winter and puts them away, so that we can eat healthy all winter long.   As I always say, buy organic and make sure you know where the organic is grown or raised.  Well, guess that’s it,  I got a picture for you to look at, which comes right from a package of processed luncheon meat.  Sure looks tasty huh?  The thing is, millions are putting it into their stomach right now.  My Opinion Only

Fluoride In Our Drinking Water Hmm…

Good topic. Let’s take our pure and tasty drinking water, put a medication (fluoride) in it, make the people accept it and make believe we have Freedom of Choice in this country.  I actually know a fellow that works in the production of fluoride, and, well, you wouldn’t want me to tell you what he says about fluoride.  I will say this though on his behalf.  He keeps it totally away from all his family and children.  Now, take a look at this article, should get you to thinking of what the Powers That Be are doing to us humans.

I would like to pose some hypothetical questions:

What would you do if you suddenly found out that fluoride was not “safe and effective” at all, but was actually a carcinogenic industrial waste?

What would you do if you learned that the sugar lobby’s answer to cavity reduction is more fluoride rather than less sugar in the diet?

What would you think if you suddenly found out that fluoride doesn’t stop tooth decay at all, but actually causes teeth to rot and crumble, and by the same mechanism also causes osteoporosis?

What would you do if you found out that a myriad of research and reports from China, showing that fluoride ingestion causes interference with brain development, had been purposely withheld from the people in the U.S.?

What would you do if you suddenly found out that fluoride inhibits antibody formation in the blood, depresses thyroid activity, promotes the development of bone cancer, causes premature aging of the human body, and is used in rat poison, and that the contents of a family size tube of overpriced, huge profit margin fluoridated toothpaste is enough to kill a 25 pound (ca. 11 kilogram) child?

And after you found out all this, would it surprise you that federal health agencies have known these facts for years, but have been controlled by the political interests of the nuclear arms, aluminum, and phosphate manufacturers to keep it a secret?

Why would they do that? So that a toxic industrial waste could be passed off on the public as a nutrient with necessary health benefits, to the tune of $10 billion a year or more going in the pockets of these industries rather than  having to spend that amount to dispose of it properly as a toxic waste.

Next, we have to look at the people that are for and against this assault upon our health.

Those against this horror movie are everyday people. Accountants, retired engineers, chemistry professors, teachers, acupuncturists, dentists, believe it or not, the Union of Scientists at the EPA, and a host of others from all walks of life. And, all of them come armed with peer-reviewed scientific literature to back up what they have to say.

Those in flavor of this horror movie, with lots of credentials, are the majority of dentists, the public health officials and many people in various government positions. And what do they come armed with? Speculation and years of repeating, like good little lemmings, that fluoride is “safe and effective”. If it were so safe and effective to ingest, why would the CDC say that fluoride’s effectiveness is on the surface of the tooth and only after it comes into the mouth?

Our Vegetable Garden 2009

Well in the picture taking mode this morning so figured I would take a few of some wild daisies and some of my vegetable garden for you to take a look at.  Things are really coming along as you can see.   I would also like to say that all my tomato plants, cabbage and so on this year was bought at Powassan Farm & Pet Centre, 788 Main Street, Powassan Ontario  705-724-9513. Gotta’ say, they sure have good healthy plants in their garden centre.  Also real nice folks to deal with.  Just ask for Betty, or any of her staff, all great folks.  I just enjoy going in for a chat now and then.

Summer Happenings Hmm………..Good

Now here is a sign that summer is here, and what life is all about. Picked around four baskets so far this year and heading out this morning to pick some more.  Eat half and put the rest in the freezer for winter.  Tough life huh?
