may two four

newfoundlanders are keen outdoorspeople. it's in their dna. even if you live in a small fishing village, you have a cabin to "get away from it all". if you live in town you have a camper. and the "may two four" weekend sees an exodus to camp grounds, gravel
pits, beside trout streams. it doesn't matter what the weather is like - and often this time of year there is snow in the air. this weekend corner brook is a ghost town.

i spent yesterday doing what i love to do almost most - visiting nurseries. i buy my permanent plants from my friend kim at the greenhouse in little rapids and my cheap container plants from the big box stores.

33 years ago today i arrived in newfoundland. for the adventure of going to a new place for a couple of years. i stayed. and stayed...
