This is the bulk food nut bin. Below is the sign on it closeup.
Hard to understand what they were thinking. After all, this IS a nut bin…

It’s particularly pub food I’ve got to stay away from. Saturday, after a long cold day working outside, we gratefully retreated to a nearby great little Irish pub that used to have several gluten-free options. But no more! Ended up, yet again, with one menu item – two small potato skins stuffed with bacon [...]

Lovely time at the waterfront representing the Kingston Community Credit Union. Great crowds and much interested questioning by those who stopped in. One man said he’s been thinking about becoming a member ever since he saw our television commercial – Then he repeated: ‘Banking Where You Belong.‘ He said those words stayed [...]

Some of the best things to put in your ears – cats, fish & Frankenstein plus pharoahs. Got these today priced way down at a multicultural festival downtown

This building is particularly awful due to the architecture of the rest of this beautiful waterfront town, former first capital city of Canada:

Lots of brave dog lovers came out to Lemoines Point, a local provincial park for the Humane Societies annual event. Dick and I manned a table for six hours for your Kingston Community Credit Union with cold wind off the lake and rain sleeting at us sidewise. We had a GREAT TIME! This picture was [...]

of the round theatre below my birdfeeder
the red male observes the armoured pigeons
khaki sparrows, spike-furred [...]

Bright cool morning with flowers their true colours after a storm night of wind & rain. Paradise in early autumn.
Here’s hoping my son’s house in Halifax, right across from the Atlantic Ocean, didn’t get blown off its hill. No word yet so I can sit and enjoy a shiny afterblow on my own hill [...]

Trees are dark fountains of grief
moaning, summer, summer
in damp and breathless voices
at the place where they pull free
from soil, piles of leaves weep
