About Me
- Eric Valentine
- I have been a bit of a World traveler. I was born in England and at age 32 moved to Canada. More recently this last few years I have come down with a debilitating illness that although it has no cure it can be managed sensibly. My interests now are my lovely wife Elizabeth, nature and music. I love writing at which I am always working on improving.

Sangilak
He burst forth from the past to now
Fiercely proud, strong, erect.
His torso adorned and glowing still,
Remnants of the days of battle royal,
The figures, depicting scars from days of old.
I first saw him standing there -
Covered it seemed in a hue of snow?
On his chest emblazoned in red,
“Is that a red maple leaf I see,
Or some such facsimile ?”
I said astounded! ~ hesitantly, ~
“You are Canadian ~ aren’t you”

Oh my! That looks very cold. Brrr!
Sure hope it warms up again soon. It is spring here finally and am I ever glad!
I saw that on the news about Ontario getting snow. Spring is just around the corner, Eric. Hope you and Elizabeth are well!
This weather is nutz! Still it has to change soon? LOL
Hi Steph, yes it is cold but hopefully after today things will be better.. :)
Hope your spring catches up with my spring, Eric. Lisa is out on the cat porch making friends with the resident pair of Ruby Throated Hummingbirds. Oh, and being cuddled and mauled by the two outsider Girl Kitties. I'm taking a break from Residental Landscape Technician duties. Life is tuff. Still, spring is here ..... coming your way my Friend. Take care.
Well, Eric, we both saw robins this week. But atleast there is no snow where we are visiting our daughter in Delaware. It was even in the 60s today! :~D
Hi Eric, how are you? I hope that you and Elizabeth are well, and wrapping up warm in this cold spell your having.
Take lots of care :)
Hi Roy, well I think spring finally arrived today. Sunny and luke warm but we will take it.
All seems happy with you my friend and no CATastrophe to speak of.. LOL:)
Hope you enjoy your trip to your daughters Leon, things will warm up later this next week for us thank goodness. :)
Hi Stacey, we are hanging in here it's a long story, but later. :)

Hi Eric,
A long story? tell me more ;)
Just popped over to wish you and Elizabeth a Happy Easter.
Take lots of care :)
P.S I have posted ;)
A happy Easter to you as well Stacey, good to see you posting again. :)
Watch the headlines for a story coming soon. ;)
Hello Eric
I hope you are having better weather at this time.
We have a snowstorm here today!
Have had more snow in spring than the all of winter, but we really need the moisture.
Hope you & Elizabeth are doing well.
I am taking a break from blogging.
Just too many things I need to tend to right now and I need to give all my effort to them.
I probably will need surgery on my knee as I have a minicius tear.
Plus I have a sore hand from a fall I took on some ice in Jan.
But am going for physical therapy first, to see if that might help (with my knee)
I start the therapy next week on both my knee & hand.
Take care, Eric.
All my best to you!
Margie
That was my question too. We had 80 degrees and in the last few weekends it's just been snow and snow and hail and rain and sleet and snow and snow.....
Hello Margie,
I am sorry to hear of the bad news. We will miss you in the blogs but do hope that one day you will come back.
In reference to your health troubles, I really don't envy you having to go through all that.
Hopefully the surgery can be avoided unless it is for the best.
We have a friend who had both her knees done last year. With rehab she is doing fine and now you wouldn't even know she was in.
Do try and look after yourself and stay well, life is too short to be out of the race.. :)
Hi Z, at last the weather has picked again. Today and yesterday we had temps around 22c ... much better :)
Patience is a virtue, Eric. When spring arrives you enjoy it so much more!
hope it's warmer soon :D
Hi Eric,
I do hope by now u must be having springs there.. between lovely photographs.. :)
Take care
Good evening Eric,

I am still watching out for the headlines ;D
