It is a great day when you become aware of God. God reveals Himself as a resource. Life without the resource of God is dry. We are absolute fail­ ures unless God is in us.

Open weekdays 'til dark - Sat. 9 - 6 - Sun. 10-5 TIME FOR TREES Visit our nursery to choose your tree, flowering shrub or rose from this area's largest selection of Quality Plants Landscape Design and Planting now available MAITLAND MANOR NURSERY Watch out it could be you! You just never know who might be lurking around your backyard, obviously someone was in my backyard recently looking at the weeds in my garden. I know this because I had a visit from, no other than ... THE WEED INSPECTOR. Yes, such a man exists ... His name is Joe Glbscn. When he visited my home on July 17, 1991, I was cooking supper and saw two persons, unknown to me, looking around my backyard. I watched them go to my garden and gaze at it. I then decided to see why these strange people were in my yard. When I approached these men and asked them if I could help them, Joe announced that he was the Weed Inspector for Huron County. I bust myself laughing and asked where the hidden camera was. After Joe telling me four or five more times that “yes, seriously I am the Weed Inspector”, I asked him for I.D., when he gave his official card to me, I laughed even harder. I asked him at that time, why he was at my home. By this time he and his assistant were laughing as well ... and I still believed this to be a practical joke. Joe then told me that someone in Blyth had actually reported to the clerk in Blyth that my garden was a mess of weeds, and was a danger to asthmatics and people with allergies. (Also to note here, both my son and I have asthma and allergies, and we have not been affected by these weeds, and we are alive and well) ha ... ha ... I told this to Joe and asked him, if I didn't cut my weeds down, was he going to arrest me? He laughed even harder and said no, but if I didn't cut them down, he would, at a nominal charge. I asked him to leave it for a week. He agreed to. I called the village of Blyth's clerk's office ... I could hardly contain myself, I was laughing so hard. I asked our clerk “who had sicked the Weed Inspector on me". I was then told that It was my estranged husband who wanted me and my “DEADLY WEEDS” reported. Well I would like to publicly invite Don Carter to come pick my weeds for me ... If they bothered him. I would also like to invite anyone who supports Don Carter's behaviour to please help him take down my weeds. I will not look at this as breaking the restraining order, I will applaud this and accept his gardening abilities in lieu of child support payments for June. No Don, I have not yet gone bankrupt. My children haven't starved. I still go to work, and I am laughing at this ... you are most certainly showing your true colours ... I applaud you. Picking date July 25, 8 p.m. Rain date July 26, 8 p.m. Beware villagers...You never know who might be luiking in your backyard...If you're not a good gardener....Don Carter might report “YOU”.
