Cold comfort for change?

So, Canada Reads bought down the verdict today, picking The book Of Negroes to be the book that Canada will be reading. They even have an online book club complete with author Lawrence Hill in attendance.

I’m rushing out to buy Brian Francis book, Fruit. It's the book which came in second to last. I think it will be fun, and an easy read for the evenings during my ski trip to Red Mountain cabin, during Spring Break.

My perennial flower seeds sprouted. These are Dianthus, scented cheddar pinks. I also have Oriental poppies and Rudbeckia except the Rudbeckia didn’t sprout yet. Last night, in a fit of angst, I planted more seeds on top of the ones already planted in the hopes that they better come up. If they don’t you bet I will be buying Rudbeckia plants at some nursery this spring. Although I want these particular plants, Goldstrum they are called, not some nurseries random idea of Rudbeckia.
