I work security at the complex in town. It's a 220,000 sq foot building full of windows and most of the things you want to do in town. The building is full of plants and trees that have been here for more than twenty years. We have always had problem with the small plants in the building but now someone has ripped two large ficus trees out by the roots. It would have taken more than one person to do this damage and now I don't even know what to do to save them. These were beautiful trees, huge leafy canopies like great big umbrellas, it breaks my heart. I'm going to search the net and see if anyone can give me hints on how to save the poor things.

The weather sucks!!!!!

We just had another blizzard and everything is again covered in snow and ice. Hopefully this will be the last one. Last week we were driving around watching everything quickly melt, commenting on how fast it was all going and bam, blizzard. Winds 70 K and 5 cm of snow and now we start all over again. The temperature is now a balmy -4 C. Oh well, same thing every year and every year we believe it is actually spring.

The birds were starting to arrive in earnest and this probably set them back at least a couple of days or so. Everyone says that this is the storm that will bring the snow geese. The Canada's have been here for about three weeks but even they aren't here in any great numbers, the hunters aren't really going out yet just for one or two for the soup pot.
