It was a rainy morning, a forecast filled with tears. Ben, the miracle dog, has left us, left my hearth, but not my heart. These past few days have been the saddest of my life — and that isn’t hyperbole. It seems only right that it has poured rain almost non-stop here for two days, save…
CSA Adventures … Mystery #6
From green, to red, from orange to yellow, the colours of the garden are breathtaking, like a dissected fall foliage that you can eat. How great is that? However, it would seem the mysteries of the CSA are getting better — and tougher? — or someone has disconnected my mic. “Hello … is this thing…
CSA Adventures … Mystery #5
Some mysteries are supposed to be tough — so here’s one to challenge all your ardent veggie lovers out there. “Who Am I?” And no, “I am not a misshapen pumpkin… but I am a gorgeous colour inside.” That’s your only hint, ok? Answer to be revealed on Saturday … if not before, should one…
Westcoast Field Trip: ‘Research’
Some hobbies are more dangerous than others. Certainly, this is one with which requires some care because, by all accounts, I took one for the team with the substantial field work I completed last month during my pilgrimage back home to BC. Fresh off the airplane, the first stop my father made was for provisions as I…
CSA Adventures … Mystery #4
So this adventure series hasn’t turned out exactly as I was expecting — though I guess that is the whole point of any adventure.

CSA Adventures … Mystery #3
So the next lesson in mysteries is that sometimes you have to look outside your borders to find adventure …. My challenge in maintaining this even into the third installment of the series is that I didn’t find much a mystery in my CSA share this past go-round. Most of the usual suspects emerged in…
What Man is Made by Woman
Oh what man is made by woman A spirit made of flesh A psyche breathed with life. Oh what body is made by touch Desire fired in a forge Hardened pure upon a kiss. Oh what heart is made by love A metronome made to move Sets life to swing with purpose. © Dale Schierbeck…
In Your Love I Choose to Stay (Lyrics)
A song without the music is, well, just the lyrics … but hence the rhyme in these words. So while I continue to strum my guitar and contemplate a rhythm and melody to go with these words, please hum along and provide your own beautiful lilt to fill them out wherever you ‘hear’ them. ~ In…
CSA Adventures … Mystery #2
Not every adventure needs to lead down a new path. In the inaugural mystery, “we” got to play with Hakurei turnips. That was a yummy adventure indeed. Next up is something that may not be as much of a mystery to many of you, but it will surely be new to many more. While it…
