Finally got my mustard planted today. My 100 or so Humminbirds seem to be feeding heavily. I believe they are getting ready to come bart and AARC’s way. And South America. Hate to see them go but we’ll see them next year I hope.

Love to see a pic of those mustard plants and the hummingbirds rook.

Stan Rogers Northwest Passage video

I was 19 years old and working in Halifax, Nova Scotia when I heard about Stan's death, I still remember that day too... very sad.


"Stanley Allison Rogers (November 29, 1949 — June 2, 1983) was a Canadian folk musician and songwriter.

Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies and Great Lakes. Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33.
Rogers was born in Hamilton, Ontario, the eldest son of Nathan Allison Rogers and Valerie (née Bushell) Rogers, two Maritimers who had relocated to Ontario in search of work shortly after their marriage in July 1948. Although Rogers was raised in Binbrook, Ontario, he often spent summers visiting family in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia.

It was there that he became familiar with the way of life in the Maritimes, an influence which was to have a profound impact on his subsequent musical development. He was interested in music from an early age, reportedly beginning to sing shortly after learning to speak. He received his first guitar, a miniature hand-built by his uncle Lee Bushell, when he was five years of age. He was exposed to a variety of music influences, but among the most lasting were the country and western tunes his uncles would sing during family get-togethers. Throughout his childhood, he would practice his singing and playing along with his brother Garnet, six years his junior.

While Rogers was attending Saltfleet High School, Stoney Creek, Ontario, he started to meet other young people interested in folk music, although at this time he was dabbling in rock and roll, singing and playing bass guitar in garage bands such as "Stanley and the Living Stones" and "The Hobbits". After high school, Rogers briefly attended both McMaster University and Trent University, where he performed in small venues with other student musicians, including Ian Tamblyn, Chris Ward and fellow Hobbit Nigel Russell."

Well, I guess everyone's taking the opportunity to sleep in this morning, after-all it is Sunday.

I'm off to get and early start on a site I started hunting a few years ago after it was dug by the arkies.
I drove by last week and noticed that the beans had just been cut, so I'm heading there to see if anything has popped up over the season.

I will be cleaning and posting my finds from the last three days later this evening.

Hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday,
Dave
