The dog



Francene, the dog. She convulses as she sleeps. Note the big feet. If you're going to get a dog why would you get one with small feet?


The foot apologizes for the sideways angle. The foot wasn't thinking.

Tomatoes

The feet have started the tomatoes. 4 kinds of have been chosen -Celebrity Hybrid, Scotia (becasue the feet hail from Nova Scotia), Hybrid Early Cascade and Shirley. The first 3 seed packets are from Halifax Seed - we shall see if they are worthy of the foot. The latter is from Suttons Seed - the official seeds of the Queen. We assume that they should be good enough for the foot. Perhaps if they work the foot shall grant them title as official seed supplier of the foot.



















Foot Jr helped out with getting the peat pellets ready. We placed 3-4 seeds in each. Foot Jr is still young but his toe dexterity is that of an armless adult.













The seed packages said that it would take 7-14 days for germination to begin. Clearly they did not take into account the power of the foot. 4 days later and germination had begun. The seeds sensed the presence of the foot and could not help but explode from their seeds.

Yes, we know that we have been missed. And rightfully so.

The foot has been busy since it last deigned to provide an update. Sandra had no chance against the foot's fertility. Foot Jr now has a sister - Cinderella. We call her Cindy. Her foot is perfect. Even, if I dare so, more perfect than Foot Jr.

The foot is planning on expanding the garden this year. We have been growing some vegetables for the past couple of years. Right next to the septic field. Could there be any better fertilizer? The vegetables can sense that the effluent has come from the foot. Cannot nature sense perfection? The foot's waste products are greedily sucked up, and in return, nature produces sustenance for the foot.

It is a symbosis of perfection. Such a system has produced bumper crops for the past few years, so the foot shares with the less fortunate. Less fortunate in the sense that they have hideously imperfect feet. From the foot's toilet to their table.

The first chikadee of the year.
