Why our library is loved...
From an islander, via Sandy Alexandre: ‘On a recent visit to Chapters I was disappointed that it had sold out a new book (Arguably, by Christopher Hitchens) that I really wanted to read. Imagine my delight to see it at our library. Thetis has one of the best little libraries to be found anywhere. Offering great books and films, it helps give Thetis a unique and strong cultural heartbeat. Keep up the good work.’
Day One

Never pull weeds when it’s too dark to see exactly what you are pulling.
Stinging nettles look just like any other weed.
It's Spring!
According to various sources, the swallows and hummingbirds are back...
Gwen's Kernels of Wisdom
Have you ever wondered why some jobs take forever to start? Today I was wandering around the house wondering what I was going to do. It was raining. So no yard or garden work was going to get done. Don was busy with a carpentry project. I opted for doing the dishes.
Three job options were open for me. One, I know and love; yard and garden. Two, I know and detest; dishes. The other, carpentry; don’t understand it and avoid it like the plague.
Sometimes we don’t start a project simply because we aren’t sure how to do it.

Last Friday of the Month
There was a passenger overload on the 10:35 ferry this morning. It meant we needed to get our boat in the water and take a quick trip over to Chemainus. What a beautiful place to come home to.
