Hello my Dear Friends. How are you this splendid day? It surely is a beautiful one. God is good.

So poor Martin (our Matrix) had a bit of a problem and his computer went. It cost $700. What is up with that? It’s so new. Not sure if we would buy a Toyota again. It seems to have hit 200,000 and its costing more every month. Not wanting to put those negative words in print and out to the universe but its the truth.  I’m not sure if its the mileage,  if its because it is becoming the end of our payments or its because my husband was yelling at them a few maintenances ago about something or other. Nonetheless its all fixed up and back on track.

Honda is the way to go. Mine has 300,000 on it and my brothers’ has 500,000. Oh ya. Keep on ticking. Touch wood. Gotta love it.

So I’m driving Ms. Daisy home from dropping Bobby off and I see something I’ve never seen before. This person had carved up their cedars so that it was all round and smooth and then it had these round balls on top like globes. So smooth and pretty. In the middle it had three balls on top of each other. It was perfectly done. It was just so theme park. I was looking around for Johnny Depp dressed as Edward Scissorhands. It reminded me of Dr. Seuss.

I kind of weirded me out a bit though. After I saw it I was like in my mind….its pretty….no its weird…..no its peculiar…..hmmm…..its fantastic….aaaah..that’s it “its damn good blog material”.

Our cedars are not that polished. We just let them grow where they want, up and up to the sky, sideways, backwards wherever their heart desires. We are making a statement. Bobby won’t cut anything. I think its his Native background. “All are my relations” is his favorite saying. If a tree comes pushing its way out of our Cedars sideways it has as much a right to be there as us. It has to be making us very uncomfortable before it gets chopped and even then there is an offering and ritual that is done.  I shouldn’t say too much because you will know we are “that” house.

The neighbours beside us ( I discussed their “stick fort” in another blog) decided to chop a bunch of our cedars at the front of our house. Bobby was chicken to confront them so I went over as they were partying hardy in their garage (yes the Big O stands for Oshawa) and said “tell me are these cedars yours or ours?”. The couple indicating that they are on their property. I’m not sure if it’s true as our boulevard of grass goes beyond that point but I didn’t want to argue with them really. They half chopped it down and when they did that they cut down a beautiful young Rowan tree. This made me sad and I thought yikes there is going to be some Karma in that. We felt it an honour that the Rowan tree chose our lot to find its home. Let’s face it hacking down a Rowan Tree (the most powerful and honourable tree around (known as Mountain Ash today)) would make even a well seasoned witch question the Cree of “harm to none”. They might be ok though when they remember that everything we do good and bad comes back tenfold.

Bobby said in old Celtic times if you cut down an Oak tree the Druids would k*ll you, if you cut down a Yew Tree, the Druids would k*ll not only you but everyone in your blood line or with your name. That’s wild eh? (I think that’s what he said I zone out sometimes.)

So that’s it for now. Have a glorious weekend. Enjoy the sunshine and the full moon which I think is tonight.

Quote for you:

“When all the trees have been cut down,
when all the animals have been hunted,
when all the waters are polluted,
when all the air is unsafe to breathe,
only then will you discover you cannot eat money.”~ Cree Prophecy ~

Until we meet again, Sharon
