Darkest Night

Welcome not the dawn of light
Welcome now the dead of night
Shivers greet the eerie calm
Stillness feels completely wrong

Something lurks beyond what's seen
Something from a restless dream
The spirit here is out of tune
The evil deed is coming soon

On and on along dark path
Each step lighter than the last
Left alone by waning  moon
All around uncertain doom

What it is cannot be known
The evil face cannot be shown
Welcome now the still of night
Put away the unjust fright

Worry not for time that's stealing
This is the time of calm and healing
Upon my chest your head to lay
Tomorrow brings us what it may

Dysfunction begets dysfunction, how do we fight an onslaught which comes from with...

Garlic Mustard

Garlic mustard Invasive garlic mustard can take over forests, harming native understory species (Photo by NCC) No friend to our forests Garlic mustard , a highly invasive plant, has been spotted on Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) properties across Ontario. Brought to North America in the 1800s, this invasive alien plant is now spreading across the continent at a rate of 6,400 square kilometres per year — that's an area 10 times the size of Toronto! The success of garlic mustard is multi-faceted. Aside from having no natural enemies in North America, garlic mustard is an early riser. It takes advantage of the open canopy of springtime deciduous forests and the first rays of sunlight after the winter snow has melted, getting a head start on the native plants. Garlic mustard can change a forest's composition over time, creating a more favourable environment for itself, while driving other species out of the understory. This can even impact what trees grow in the forest, as garl...
