While I have talked about the wonders of fall equinox and the fall harvest, I failed to remember the fall rains that bolster the reputation of the west coast rain forest I live in. When people talk of rain forest I tend to think about the Carmanah Valley on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, not the city in which I live... that would be New Westminster. Yes, years ago this area was known for it’s gentler giants, the Douglas Firs and majestic Cedar’s, Hemlock too, tall enough to touch the stars, big enough to build a house, trees that mustered a size that secured a strong foot in the soils of New Westminster, now to be seen in at least one area of British Columbia, The Carmanah Valley on Vancouver Island. These giants are all but a memory in New Westminster, however what remained of the rain forest was, “The Rain”...stalwart, Mother Nature’s own, remains and for more than a century, continues its regular visit.
Today, I am looking for solutions, not to remove natures own from the fair city in which I live, however, to find a product that will help to defend my fragile wood framed house that the god’s want so badly to water to make it grow… what the god’s don’t know is that this house lives on a cement foundation and try as they might, it will not grow.
This afternoon, while snooping around my cold room, I spied a small but curious stream of water resting in a small but annoying puddle at the base of my foot. With a grimace only a Muppet would understand, I removed all the boxes in my way to get a better look at this indoor anomaly. Well, Mother Nature found a way into warm her cool stream of water… I have looked at the new pathway of learning and realized that this journey would start outside, tomorrow, with hydraulic cement, something that Mother Nature didn’t know about… by tomorrow evening all will be fine…the sweet warm pool of mother natures own will be dried like a minnow in the hot day sun, and for me… it’s just another learning curve… I found the pathway around this one!
