Friday Foto

This morning I awoke to so much light coming in the window that I thought I had missed my alarm.  Thankfully this was not the case, however it made me realize, or maybe just hope, that it’s getting brighter earlier.  Not that I’m complaining about the weather as of late, but even though we’ve had [...]

Winter Tips for your Green Bin

As I write this, a very light trickle of snow is creating a majestic winter scene in Kingston, and along the northern shore of Lake Ontario.  While the flurries took a bit longer to find us this year, winter’s chilling temperatures have been with us for quite some time.  Our least favourite season brings with [...]

Little Cat

I am loathe to say that it’s been nearly a week since I last posted. That sounds like a confession of sorts, but needless to say I’ve been enjoying the contributions from our two new team members. With everybody else picking up the slack, I’ve been keeping myself busy by developing some new [...]

Ice Free is the Way to Be

Early last month I put a fork in Old Man Winter, proclaiming the imminent arrival of Spring: newborn woodland critters, and massive amounts of pollen. Four weeks and half a dozen snow storms later, my prediction is finally coming true. Sand covered sidewalks, and soggy patches of grass have been spotted all over [...]
