SPRUCE SEEDLING.

.

The tiny spruce seedling that I rescued from the gravel walkway last Spring and potted on my windowsill, is still doing fine.

Those coins were made of almost pure silver, that's why they wore out do fast and why it is so difficult to find a good used copy.

This beautiful little coin is now becoming rare and extremely collectable.

REMEMBER WHEN?

One of those big cents could buy two "jaw-breakers"

THE PROMISE OF SPRING.

These are the seed heads of a couple of those beautiful blue-purple Asters that we watched bloom almost everywhere during the summer.

One seed head already has all its seeds dispersed.

GUESS??

DOGBERRIES..

Not many leaves but lots of berries left for the birds.

OCTOBER.

.

I couldn't choose which one to post, so I decided to post all three. It took me a long time to find leaves that were not already tattered and torn. It was a grey day, actually raining; thus the sky looks white rather than blue.

LABRADOR HUSKY.

.

During to 1940-50 TB epidemic many patients went to the Grenfell Mission sanatorium for treatment.
Those well enough were taught various crafts that they could take home in order to participate in the cottage industry that supplied products for the mission craft shop in support the mission work. One such patient was Stewart Ricks who was my neighbour when I lived on Sop's Island. His craft was ivory carving and he carved this little ivory husky dog for me as a souvenir. That was in 1946.
