lotsofplantsI think the Canadian poppy quarters are awfully cool. Colored coins! Canadians get the coolest coins. Like the toony--a two-tone coin with a polar bear on it! :) I admit I enjoy collecting nifty coins, and I'm looking forward to getting a couple of these from a friend who ordered a roll of them. On a distantly-related note, I'm still sad that the US mint hasn't been minting more dollar coins or pushing their use.
Something dug up and ate my camas bulbs. :( I blame the squirrels. No wonder I've been vaguely wondering how hard they would be to catch, skin, and cook (probably stew).
A good deed came back to me today. Last week I found a nifty and somewhat expensive looking book sitting in the garden at CUH, and figuring it was lost called the number on the business card taped to the front cover. Talked with the owner and mailed it to them. They sent me a certificate for a free jewelry evaluation by The Gemologist Inc. Unfortunately, I can't think for a use for it. Unless someone gives me an old ring which needs to be appraised or something.
Also, what's with the large number of bad things happening to people I know lately? Stolen cars, lost jobs, massively sick pets, stress leading to panic attacks or debilitating migraines. Enough already.
So far, have only gotten sick once while working with preschoolers. Perhaps my immune system is planning to be better behaved this year and I will avoid the frequently sick due to stress thing. *crosses fingers*
