TV is crack

The only place that has any sort of heat these last few days has been the greenhouse, not much left in there now however, mostly just a couple of planters and a couple trays of ornamental corn, some marigolds. I don't have any room left for more ornamental corn. I don't plant those in the regular vegetable garden as I am afraid of cross pollinating with my sweet corn. I am not even sure of that is possible but I play it safe regardless. If anybody knows I would like some actual concrete facts on that. I managed to get a few more blueberry bushes for free yesterday. I hope it isn't too late to plant them. I would have thought by mid June our weather would be warming up but it was 4 degrees Celsius (39 F)last night and is only 10 degrees (50F) today...and windy so it feels like below freezing. Brr. I guess it is only fitting that the Stanley Cup Hockey Final is tonight, since it still feels like winter.
Last year I won a big screen TV, at first I was really excited to have actually won something. I thought I should sell it. I didn't have a TV for almost 10 years. Never really cared to watch any shows. I could see whatever I wanted on the Internet. Really the only thing I check out is hockey anyway...typical Canadian in that manner...hahaha....but my sister decided as a gift to us to get us digital cable, PVR, all those fun things. We didn't really want it at first but we couldn't say no. It is amazing how alluring Cable is when you have it. I thought narcotics were considered addicting but it seemed there was always something to watch. Especially since most of the shows were all new to us. Now that winter is over and the days are longer we are barely using it. Our contract is expiring this week. We could renew it for next to nothing but instead the TV is going away. Cold turkey...We are both book nuts and we feel this was taking us away from what is really important. So I ordered a new book and it should be here in a couple days...Sepp Holzer Permaculture...can't wait. Now if this Postal strike in Canada will end so I can get my book and turn the page on the TV saga.
