It's Volunteer Time!

Well it's that time of year, where I cannot deny the sun is setting earlier in the sky. ....sigh...Already a few evenings this month have been down right chilly.

Two nights ago I got up in the middle of the night to see a lunar eclipse. It was amazing, mysterious and down right cold. But with the sun appearing behind me over the corn fields, and the moon dissapearing in shades of red in front of me, It kept me pretty warm with the feelings of nature all around me. It was pretty spectacular.

This time of year also marks another milestone in the season, where the Common Ground Crew helps some one out, by creating for them a landscaping job at the cost price. Labour and materials are all that would be paid. We do this once a year out of gratitude and for a great season of creativity and abundance. So, if you know of any one in need of some garden love in the Toronto area, please have them contact me through this site. Maybe it's someone you know who is elderly, or has other physical challenges. Or perhaps a bunch of renters, whose landlord is too thrifty to do anything with the jungle in the back yard and there is no common area for being able to just sit out side. Please have them contact me by October 10th 2007.

Speaking of challenging gardens. I don't know if any of you are following the story of Gayla Trail and her little urban plot? It seems to be, not only the garbage can of her neighbourhood, but the toilet as well. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic. Check it out.

I am not sure if I want to sign off with: enjoy the slow changes in the season at this time of year, or enjoy the summer for as long as you can, Yahoo!

I like both. Take care.
