Thiessen Farms: Knotty Vampires!
http://thiessenfarms.blogspot.com/2012/03/knotty-vampires.html
Saturday, March 31, 2012. No more vampires on our farm! I got rid of them yesterday. Of course I'm talking about Vampire plum trees - what did you think? Vampires are a dark red, round plum. What makes them unique is their flesh - a blood red colour, instead of the usual yellow flesh of most red plums. Hence their name! Vampires are a fairly new variety of plum. When they first became available we planted only a few trees, to see what they would be like. Black knot is what did them in. Our Vampire trees ...

Penguin Poems: When the well has run dry
http://thepenguinpoet.blogspot.com/2012/03/when-well-has-run-dry.html
A loving, sidelong glance at ordinary life. Tuesday, March 27, 2012. When the well has run dry. When the well has run dry. It comes without warning. The tongue swells in your cheek,. Thick and livid, so that. Your words no longer speak. When the well has run dry,. You curse Providence for. This damming of the source. Of such early growth. You. Rail Yet it is, of course,. When the well has run dry. That the real work begins. This is the place you give. Yourself to the long task. Of learning how to live.

Penguin Poems: August 2011
http://thepenguinpoet.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
A loving, sidelong glance at ordinary life. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. None of us are ready. None of us are ready. Tonight. We float in a. As the tide washes us. None of us are ready. And yet it is time. We. One hand upon the stars. As a new voice sings bright. None of us are ready,. Our arms still tangled in. Each other’s hair, we lift. This wet thing to our chest. And say, “This is a gift. None of us are ready. To receive.” And it’s true. Is chastened before such. None of us are ready,. Sunday, August 2...

Penguin Poems: November 2011
http://thepenguinpoet.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
A loving, sidelong glance at ordinary life. Tuesday, November 29, 2011. What if Jesus had been a union man,. And his twelve disciples had all been plumbers? Or tool-and-die guys, or even. Imagine the parables that might have been told. Of leaking U-bends, and toner cartridges. Found at the back of the supply cupboard,. Right behind the post-its and motivational t-shirts. His mother would have run the show. For sure – along with all the other stalwarts. Who had paid their dues over the years. Some long-de...

Penguin Poems: December 2011
http://thepenguinpoet.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
A loving, sidelong glance at ordinary life. Tuesday, December 20, 2011. Reading the paper placemat at Colombo’s). Start at the heel of the boot,. At the sumptuously-named Lecce,. And run your finger around the graceful. Toe, beaded with Sicilian heat. Move slowly upwards, pausing at the knee. To genuflect at the Holy City, then on. To gaze in awe at the high-swept sinews. Of the landscape leading up to Assisi. Come around the thigh, taking time to. Taste the savors of Bologna, Parma, Genoa,. Upwards by t...

Thiessen Farms: Spring
http://thiessenfarms.blogspot.com/2012/03/spring.html
Sunday, March 18, 2012. How about this weather, eh! Spring has arrived, and in a most definite manner - lots of sunshine and very warm temperatures. Certainly a joy to work in, but a cause for some panic among farmers trying to stay ahead of the weather. The sound of orchard sprayers can be heard throughout our neighbourhood. Here is an example of peach leaf curl on some young peaches in June 2011. Eventually most of the leaves fell off and I thought the trees would die. Pruning continues as well. Tree a...
