Super Flower Blood Moon















Moonwhile in Mississauga, last night the Super Flower Blood Moon played hide and seek during the most part of the Eclipse event -  Super is in the name because the Moon appears larger than usual at its closest approach to us through its orbit, the Flower part is because it’s happening when we’re starting to get blooms in this season and blood because it appears in a reddish tinge which is the result of sunlight refracting as it passes through our atmosphere.

Bread Tags

 












Keep the plastic tags (used in sealing bread in plastic bags) out of the land-fill. Instead, collect them and use them to create artworks. Here’s one I made along with my grandkids. Title: Snow Day in Mississauga. Size: 12”x10”.

Tonferns Rhapsody (35) - Irish Folk Favourites

 









One of the many traditions of our family has been that I play some great tunes that my wife Edna loves while she cooks up her culinary delights and we chat away! Here is a playlist for you to run freely as you cook away! 

From our kitchen to yours.
