Broom trials, tribulations and humour. Sunday, January 18, 2009. Broom Poem by Barb Sawatsky. I wandered lonely a a loon. Determination in my eye. When all at once I saw Scotch broom. Along the lake, beneath the sky. Flowering and dancing in the gloom. And to myself I muttered, "DIE! Determination filled our souls. As Moralea with frenzied company. Fairly flew down yonder slipper hill. To tackle and to kill. The yellow scourge with glee. Labels: Broom Haikus and Poetry. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Broom trials, tribulations and humour. Sunday, January 18, 2009. Broom Of The Cowdenknowes. Submitted by Andy MacKinnon. How blithe each morn was I tae see. My lass came o'er the hill. She tripped the burn and ran tae me. I met her wi' good will. Oh the broom, the bonnie, bonnie broom. The broom o' the cowdenknowes. Fain would I be in my own country. Herding my father's ewes. Hard fate that I should banished be. Gone way o'er hill and moor. Because I loved the fairest lass. That ever yet was born. Broom ...

You have had a council that has been highly functional, we have been civil, respectful and, I believe, r. Epresentative of our entire, diverse community. It’s been a pleasure to sit on this council. For twelve years I owned a successful retail business, em...

We don’t have many old giants left in Metchosin as most of the District has been previously logged, but there are a few.

Stewardship : Community Service. Sunday, May 16, 2010. Eastern Pacific Gray Whales. Out of death comes life, a concept as old as the first ruminations on life and death itself. This was graphically demonstrated in March when hundreds of people gathered daily to view a nine metre long dead male eastern Pacific gray whale that had washed ashore in an easily accessible area at East Sooke Park. Gray whales can live to seventy years and can ingest a massive amounts of polluted material in that time. Many ...

Stewardship : Community Service. Friday, June 1, 2012. Giant Pacific Octopuses - No Mother Could Give More! No matter how many Talk and Walk presentations I attend, I am constantly amazed at the breadth and depth of knowledge that people freely and generously give. April was a case in point when Jim Cosgrove, former head of Natural History Collections at RBCM, agreed to come out to Metchosin to give a talk on octopuses. And it is octopuses, not octopi (which is a pie of eight servings.). Generally they m...
