This has been a terrible disaster. I am a blue and white lover as well. Our wedding china is Spode, Tower Blue. I loved it 49 years ago and it still makes my heart happy. Your dear little junco.

Last summer a similar flood destroyed houses and roads in Germany and Belgium. Seems that these catastrophies have come more common also in the civilized world. Climate change?

It is the migrating flocks that fly through at garden seed planting time, eating the seeds before they can sprout. There's a story on the blog about the Junco Wars. Yes, we left on the morning of the massive storm that has devastated BC and Washington State. We've been following the media from here in Arizona. Powell River didn't receive much damage and Bellingham had only a few areas where flooding damaged homes and businesses. I can't imagine how hard it will be to rebuild all of the roads in BC. The only bright spot is how people came together to help each other, especially in places like Hope. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-6339912019816876062021-11-19T14:08:22.449-08:002021-11-19T14:08:22.449-08:00Your junco reminds me that I need to bring out the...Your junco reminds me that I need to bring out the suet feeders!GretchenJoannahttp://www.gretchenjoanna.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-4103729161601245682021-11-19T13:10:07.442-08:002021-11-19T13:10:07.442-08:00You have described the situation well.

I grew up on a dairy farm and I can imagine the despair at losing livestock. I hadn't heard about the efforts of your small ferry. Heartwarming the way people rally around. I too would love some Burleigh pottery. I hope they still have some of the Wessex when we fly out to Calgary next week although bringing it back in suitcases will be a challenge. Enjoy the museum. Our trip is planned to coincide with a PD day for our eldest grandchild. I find when it is just him we get far more chatting which, as you know, is a delight.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12830177691014290662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-87763558624341314132021-11-19T12:53:06.432-08:002021-11-19T12:53:06.432-08:00Lorrie, it is heart rending to read, and to see on...Lorrie, it is heart rending to read, and to see on TV, the damage wreaked by this terrible weather.

I just don't recall BC ever having a weather event such at this with all that damage.
