Random stories and Pictures

The Garden season is over so I though i'd just post some random pics of my very unique garden.

Its in no way professionally landscaped, I basically planted in a trial and error state of mind....

What do you think?

I haven't done a blog since when?

I'm sorry to those who actually check out my blog....

Its been since June so I have a lot to catch up on I Guess.

I will start with a recent trip to the Chelthenham Badlands.

“Badlands” is a geologic term for an area of soft rock devoid of vegetation and soil cover that has become molded into a rolling landscape of rounded hills and gullies. Such areas are rare in Ontario and this is one of the best examples. They exhibit the reddish hue of the Queenston Shale that forms them; the iron oxide in the shale produces this colour. The narrow greenish bands that can be seen throughout the shale are due to the change of red iron oxide to green iron oxide brought on by the circulating groundwater. The relatively soft shale is essentially clay and is easily eroded by water. This site was acquired by the Ontario Heritage Foundation in 2000 and is under the care of the Bruce Trail Association.

Its a real must see Kids love jumping and sliding down the domes
