The new Buddha gets a home
June 22, 2010
Spent most of Sunday building a new garden space in the back yard. Drove out to Ellerslie Greenhouses and bought a very nice (big) Buddha who sits on a block that has engravings on its sides. This is a cement block and I have to say it took all my strength to lift the damned thing. So the new Buddha now sits amidst ornamental grasses – my favourite is the Japanese Fire Grass – and a spirea shrub and some small red-leafed flowers that Hole’s Greenhouses had on sale: three for ten dollars. Three lattice screens (recycled from a previous project) provide a backdrop to this nascent garden. When I get a good picture, I’ll post here. It makes me happy just to look at it, and to make adjustments. Add new elements. In the meantime, the front garden is blooming!
The thing I love about irises is that they really do not last very long. You have to pay attention or you’ll miss them. Once the irises are finished, I’ll split some of them and they’ll move to the new back garden.

…in tune with your “imagination book camp” idea – yesterday I am cleaning the house and this man stumps into my imagination and calls himself Hardly McFucker. See when the midwife finishes cleaning up his mom after the delivery of said man, she goes: “There now, not so bad eh?” Mona drags on her cigarette and says: “Hardly. Little McFucker nearly killed me is all.” Mona is beautiful, and Hardly is a new resident of my house.
I think he joins a band later, the Red Thunder Cree… tell me Doctor T., is my imagination in overdrive?
